The Person You Need To WIn - Youself

This is the 3rd time I completed a marathon.
Nothing special compare to lot of people out there.
However what make one special is what kind of mentality is he holding.

When I officially started my marathon journey,
it was tough, it was my buddy, Warren Chew who gave me a goal to achieve,
"If I start lifting up my legs and start running, I'll not let it stop until I finish."

When I achieved this goal, I set another goal,
"Even no one train with me, I train alone..."
[Even I'm alone, I still can get things done, I don't need a wall.]

This mentality lasted till my first marathon, Adidas Sundown 2009.
After Sundown 2009, I strongly believe in 1 Chinese saying,
"台上1分鐘，台下10年工" - it simply means you've to spend longer
and more time practicing, just for that 1 moment. - Also, the slogan for
Adidas, "Impossible Is Nothing".

Few months later before Standard Charted Marathon 2009, I continue keeping
this mentality to run and my timing that year proved me that, my mentality is stronger than
6 months ago.




In 2010, I completed my 2nd Adidas Sundown Marathon again, but this time round I'm other than my mental is stronger, I came out with something which I find it very true.

- Results-

For pass 6 months, regardless long run or short run, I'm always arranging this idea of mine -
"Running is the best to explain Life."

- You don't have to keep up to others pace when you can't, keep it to your own pace. As you keep on training, one day you might just keep up to his pace or even faster. First, you have to find out what kind of pace is the best for you, and you gradually improve - another words, understand yourself. You don't have to rush, just be honest and admit that you're not at that standard yet. Put your winning ego down, you can't be the best, because it just don't exist. Who we're always challenging is ourselves, to push yourself further, nearer to the limits. No matter what, there's always an ending point waiting for us, it is how much you had enjoy the run and how much you have experience during the run. -



This is what I've been thinking all these while, it is not very true, but it's the best for me right now.



- The moment you step over the finishing line, your life changed -



- The Pain I Endure -




- The boys that spend money to torture themselves -

Reason for me to run: For The T-Shirt and The Medal - It significant that, I've once again win myself.
