Powerman Duathlon by Malakof

Woke up at 5.30am this morning to send Veron and Pat off to the race this morning. They have great sense of direction. Showed them the way to the stadium yesterday evening and they can already reach there on their own today. Went back to bed after locking the doors...

Dad woke me up at 7.30am..just nice to wash up and adjourn to the stadium to be the supporters of the day. It was a hot sunny morning..good for the race but really HOT!!!

People Make Mistakes

Sounds familiar? This is very common and yes, its the truth! "People Do Make Mistakes".

One important thing we need to constantly remember is..no one on earth is 'perfect'. Neither should we expect one nor try to be one. We will never find a perfect end to it, instead we will end up just living in the IDEAL world of thoughts throughout our lives.

I am touching on this in this post due to many factors which I personally experience it through different circumstances.

1. If you do not accept the fact that "People Make Mistakes", you may easily set unrealistic expectations. In no time, you will find that you get upset or frustrated when things do not workout the way you may have highly expected on.

2. Worst case would be when you do not realise that you have fallen into "Perfectionist" trap, your frustration will lead to "No Confidence", and subsequently to "Self Guilt"/"Self Pity" and then....lastly "Depression". Isn't it scary??

Don't fall in the trap! No one if Perfect!

3. Besides, other then above danger, you may also tend to draw a line to things / work that needs to be delivered as a team. What I am trying to share here is, when we do not accept the fact that "People Make Mistakes", we tend to not see through each individual's weakness and strength. Instead we just keep our mind straight as in "he/she should have done this..done that"... or saying stuff like.."it's not my fault..she did not do so, hence the problem is not with me".

Why not we try to understand each individual's strenght and weakness and compliment one another?

HUG For You Mum!

Thanks mum for sending me this..HUGSSS!!

Mizuno Wave Run 25 Oct 2009

I have not been running for Marathons since the last Mc Donald's Run in July...Woke up at 6am this morning and push off to Stadium UPM for Mizuno Wave Run. Started the run at 7.37am and ended at 9.20am...Yes, it was an awful timing....This is the consequences of no proper training before hitting the run.

The route was a little hilly (not as bad as Bukit Tunku, Bukit Kiara, which is rated as Bukit Hantu to me).hahaahah....The scenery is nice with fresh air compaired to running in the city...

My Lucky Number 4801

With Chester. Thanks for coming along to this run.

About 6km from the starting point

Finishing Line..
