Running distance

(photo removed because of copyright)

THe route that i used to run in the past whenever i have the time. I always assume and roughly estimate the distance to be just 1.1km. So am i glad that the actual distance is 1.257km. That doesn't seem a lot of difference on foresight. However, i ran this route 23 rounds in training for my marathon last year. Estimated distance was 25.3km whereas the actual distance that i ran was actually close to 28.91km. Look at the difference in the distance btw prediceted and actual. It does amount to a lot. Okay, i hope that with the more precise distance, i would have a more well-rounded training. =P

Secondly, this is the distance, 1 round around expo. 0.962km. Cool. Just had a good run with weijie, jesslyn, gerald, serene last sun after church service. I can forsee that there would be more bonding sessions runs this year ahead. Great. May we strive on for our marathon plan.

The bible says.. (1 Cor 9)

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

I feel like i am the runner described above and i want and desire to excel in the things i do. I would want to *run* the race like what is describe above. I claim this. =P

GOd's promises and unfailing love

Was faced with some disappointment, setbacks and some other urgent and seemingly tedious problems in my life recently. I thought i couldn't resolve all of them adequately with the abilities and strength drawn from myself. However, mysteriously, most of my problems were resolved when i started praying to the lord. THat is the power of prayers and faith.
