My 40 Minutes Run

I’m so proud of myself! I ran almost 40 minutes today (non-stop)

Well, when I first started running, it wasn’t my intention at all. I thought of a 15-20 minutes run would suffice.

Allow me to share with you what happened along the way.

Getting myself down on the track wasn’t easy.But these were what I did:

  • I have to hoax my hungry stomach,
  • bluff my mind so that I can change and
  • get out without thinking much.

If you have the same problem, I would suggest that you do not think, put down everything, change into attire and just get there!

When I was jogging along the way, a girl in her College t-shirt overtook me. She doesn’t seem to look like a runner based on her legs. (I don’t have those kind of muscular runners’ legs too!) But she possess something like a runner, the perserverence to keep running.

She was pacing me. She was motivating me to run on even though she wasn’t aware.

We were running almost the same route when she made a right turn while I did a left.

The remaining part of my jog was fighting with my mind.

I challenge it to stop at a ridiculous point which I wanted to but thought I might not be able to make it.

I simply kept running and pushing myself.

Thinking back, I would think I was focused and wanted to prove to myself that I can achieve what I set out to do. Just like the 1st time I did my 10KM in 2004. It was just memorable.

It was a wonderful feeling of completing a 40 minute run on my own (together with that college girl)

Thanks!

I’m really happy today. I achieve so much.

Yesh! Keep up the good habit, aL!You’re on your way from FAT to FLAT (Stomach that is)

  1. Congratulation, you have discovered a secret many are not aware: the power to control your mind.

    The truth is when we want to achieve something, our mind is our first enemy. The reason is that from the beginning we have planted negative habits in our mind, in effect we resists change. It’s takes practice and focus to replace those negative habits of our mind. One effective way to do it is pushing you body against your mind, like what you did when you continue running. :-)

    Walter,

    I can’t agree with you more.

    I was exposed to the world of NLP on how our mind functions and have learnt of how to achieve more by tapping into my potential.

    It has been very interesting path for me.

    Running is one of the ways I love to challenge my mind to.
