One Small Step

map by Google Earth

Today I completed the 7km route with only one rest period. It took me 50minutes to complete the route. Ran 8km on Friday evening and a short 2.4km on Saturday so I was still feeling the soreness in my legs.

Anyway, that is only one-third of the 21km half-marathon. Seems like a long way to go but I will and must persevere.

Training for a half-marathon is tough. But looking back, I've made improvements over the past month such as being able to run longer distances without rest. 24th August is the day and that would be another 4 more months.

I am partly doing this to prove to my pupils that even without any experience except with hope, heart and determination, one is able to accomplish his/her goals. Hope I can see this promise through.

but the silence of our friends.

song - "If Everyone Cared" by Nickelback.

lyrics

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonightS

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive(I'm alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the starsWe realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could beIf everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

[Chorus]
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
