R4TW today after a sleepover at Rachelle's with Rachelle (duh), Shermine and Jocelyn :) Pretty nice time making somebody's present (ahem ahem) and playing Monopoly deal (I lost terribly) and Mahjong, and watching Sky of Love (i kinda forgot the name of the show).
Night before was Shrek Forever After in 3D with the kias, which was pretty good. I kinda enjoyed the show - probably the most of all the 4 shows. Might be comparable to the 1st, i don't remember enjoying the 2nd and 3rd shows much. Haha.
Kimmy came over for a sleepover. Spent a good hour taking photos on the Macbook with Justin (i'm starting to get bored of that LOL) then I went to wash up. We attempted to watch Prince Caspian on my laptop since we were in the room where there was aircon. Didn't work. So we searched for movies online. Found Fame and decided to watch it. Buffering took a while so we started talking while the movie buffered. This was about like 1.15am. We ended up talking till 4.30am hahahaha too bad, Fame, you can be watched next time.
Towards the end I was really talking rubbish. The last piece of rubbish I was talking about was Charles Surin! So I was saying what a horrible principal he was etc. And then I said something like "but i'm happy and sad for him. sad cos he like you know lost his job wait his family.... happy cos now hai sing have better principal...." makes sense but i was actually half asleep hahahahahaha.
Ok so it was a good sleepover with Kimmy with some really good conversations and advice given by her :)
Anyway back to R4TW. Sam promised to run with me the 5km, which he did. The goal was not to stop, and I didn't! Pace was pretty fast by my standards (standards which I used for 2.4 sia) hahahaha and I was pretty much enjoying the run for the first 2km or so. I think at about the 4km mark I was dying already lol. Sorry la, the last time I ran was 2.4 last year you know. HAHAHA. And with no sleep the night before also.
So when the going got tough, I just thought about AIDS hope and the kids who run miles and miles to and from school each day. It's a Run 4 The World, afterall.
Post-run reflections:
Running is like life! When the run is tiring, exhausting, or even painful, it's important not to give up. Just like running the race - we may face discouragement, weariness, but it's important to continue to hope in the Lord and run the race with perseverance. Having a friend to push me along and encourage me as I ran was key to me fulfilling my goal and do even better than I'd expected. Likewise, in my race as a Christian, I'll need friends and siblings-in-Christ to encourage me and spur me on. Running this race as a team is so much better than running it alone.
Thank God for fellowship. :)
