Just got my domain renewed. Paid Hostingphil earlier this week, and now, my blog will be as it is now for another year. I just can't believe that I've had this blog for six years now. I've not yet matured as a blogger, still posting random stuff that comes to mind (though I keep some thoughts to myself now on my Multiply diary). Even though I don't make something out of my blog right now, it still is a testament of how I came by those six years. I've changed. A lot.
I'd say, I'm a much stronger person now. As I would always say, I'm more comfortable on my own skin. I know what I can do and what I can't do, at least for now. I may be born short of somethings, but I can always venture into things that I can be good at and things that I love doing. And now it starting to sound like a new year's post, but I just got myself a breather at things now. I've been caught up with tasks at work - assignments that I loved doing. Been focused on my road to a full marathon end of year - which by the way, I'm thinking of postponing for another year. Just realized that it would take more training to come out alive after getting to the last mile.
Good news of my sister passing her Medical Board exam yesterday is blast to our home, it is something that we've been all waiting for and my sister did clear it. She's a doctor now. It just fuels my motivation that everything can be achieved out of hard work. I guess it just really takes time, as how I described it on a post on my Multiply last week --
I guess I was born for running. Initially, it was all fighting hypertension. Eventually, it became an addiction. It's the cheapest sport out there, just need a pair of shoes and off you go. This morning, I joined Pinoy Fitness for an LSD Run - went for 16k with pace 8min/km. It just is so much more fun if you go in groups, and even communities.
Half way, my right leg acted out again. It's been my problem ever since, but this time, I told myself, I just get used to the pain, I'll stand till the last kilometer. And I did! Also, the pain actually went away. It's actually true, the pain does go away, you'll just have to withstand it for a time, and eventually things will get better. It really does. It's pretty much how life goes on, someday, everything will be brighter.
I guess running is the best metaphor of life, and I am embracing that. I see it as how it feels like it never ends, but you will actually get by each second if you keep your eyes to a target. It's not something that everyone share, it's something that you have to find out for yourself. You are who you want to be, where you want to be and when you want to get there.
