42km. A goal. A promise.

I'm glad that the pain in my left foot is gone. =)

And I can finally run properly during my usual training!
Thanks to 'coach' who disciplined me during my 'injury time'.

So, I shall proudly announce 1 of my 2010 resolutions:

TO RUN MY FIRST EVER 42KM BY END OF THIS YEAR.

Tentatively, the most probable timing would be during the Penang Bridge International Marathon 2010 - 21st November 2010.

The marathon is a long-distance foot race with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards), that is usually run as a road race.

Been 'googling' Full Marathon world records...and well, I can only read those records in awe. =p

Hahaha...But I've taken my 1st baby step by beginning to DREAM about it!
So I guess I'm not so far from achieving. (in my dreams) =D

Run on Quin!

*peace*

Sometimes when we touch...

It was 9th January 2009.
A Saturday.
Like my usual Saturdays, this was also an interesting one.

The only difference was, my heart was opened and touched by the Special Children in Rumah Sayangku.

I woke up at 6.30am, tried my best to wake lil'bro up (not without difficulties). =p
Thank goodness he was cooperative. )He had earlier promised to join me volunteering.

We took a detour to Cheras to collect the banner.

The journey to Kuala Langat was quite 'interesting' since I relied 100 per cent on my sense of direction... the GPS was quite 'helpful' in repeatedly showing me the wrong way.

A huge and warm party was going on when we reached.
The volunteers were energetic, the kids, overjoyed!

We painted faces, eggs, made kites, photo frames...
They danced, sang, performed whole-heartedly...
They gave their best. =)

And I really appreciate every one of them.
Their limitations have brought them even closer to their parents, their loved ones.

Physical, Inherent imperfections have made them inspirations to an ordinary person like me.

Like the bird I painted on Ikmal's face, these special children should fly freely in the sky, that is filled with hope and love. And faith.

In face of 2010, Positive. =)

Like a fish, I shall take on the vast ocean without fear! =)
And hopefully, when December comes, I'm a bigger, better & wiser fish!
