Running for body and soul

I always wonder why there are people who love to run. They can just run and run , be it in short distance or in marathon and half marathon. My sister is one of them, and she runs almost every half marathon, marathon ond never fails to go training every weekend. I never think I will be able to be one of them, sacrificing nice weekends sleep for running.

Today I have just completed a 12km run at Kenny Hill (Double Hill). Don't know why it is called Double Hill, but there are not only double hills, there are many hills! I began to understand why they love running. It feels so good after the morning refreshing run, despite tired muscles and hurting ankle.

Running is not competing with others. Running is for ourselves, strengthening the mind, having a direction & go for it. Sometimes we always think that we couldn't pass the hills and the road ahead anymore, the body and feet gave in the way, but the most powerful is actually our mind. If we tell ourselves we can do it, we can. That's what I learnt from today's running. If this can be applied to our daily life, we can be a stronger person.

Hence, run, my friend, run for your body, mind and soul...

And what could be nicer having a nice big breakfast after the run with good buddies.... :)
