Life is like running???

I was running from woodlands to yishun on Sunday.
The distance was about 11 to 12km (to and fro).
I was actually feeling so tired... but somehow... I knew I have to run...
Something tell me I can and must finish this run...
Anyway, I did manage to finish it in 64min with a couple min spend walking...

==================================================

Today after work, I was thinking of going home and sleep early.
However, on my way home, I saw a girl and a guy running at the other side of the pavement.
Somehow, I knew I need to run as well.. So I changed into my jogging attire and went for a run.
Initially, I was planning to run 5km. Then I feel so tired and wanted to stop after 4km...
However, I challenged myself and tell my heart to finish 10km instead...
I almost "faint" due to dehydration perhaps... my right leg start to cramp a bit
and the ankle feeling a bit of pain... maybe these are just "excuses" for me to stop.
But I was thinking of something/somebody and realised that I need to finish this run. (10km)
So in the end, I manage to complete the run in 62min with some slight walking.
My legs was very tired and feel a bit cramped but no serious sprain... Phewww!

I realised running long distance is almost similar as reaching towards your goal and dream...
Sometime we tend to give up halfway whenever we feel obstacle (pain) is in front of us.
Actually we can do it... Our mind said we will do it... yet sometimes due to strong negative thoughts and ions in our brain, we tend (or choose) to give up.... Perhaps... giving up is not a
bad options and of course there is always a limit to whatever we do.. or is sky the limit?
When I choose not to do something is not because I cannot do it... not because I don't want to
do it... but because I choose not to do it...
We all make decisions in life... be it minor, medium or major decision...
Yes.. certain people may influence us.. but the choice is in our hand....
We can choose to do it (and may not make everybody around you happy)
yet sometime we choose to go ahead and do it.. because it is for our own sake.
We all know what we want in life... yet certain situations make us vulnerable or
hapless in certain decisions we make... We have to make decision to please certain
people yet might not make ourselves happy... is this what we want...
Life is really very unpredictable and vulerable...
Human can be contradicting and selfish creatures yet
they can be so selfless and gentle little angels...
well.. it is up to you to choose what you want to be...
You got a choice... I also got mine as well...
Hopefully, all will end up well and go smoothly for me and all my friends (and family too)

Lastly, I know that what I want this Sunday.
I choose to finish my run this Sunday ...
Be it I walk or crawl, I will meet the finishing line... Here I come...
Standard Chartered Marathon 42.195km run..
God bless me...
