Second Wind

Pic 1 - The amazing foursome - Sundown Marathon Corporate challenge - number 10!
Pic 2 - This woman I am pictured with is a bundle of energy at work and outside work. She is a mad cyclist and runner too...

After almost two months of no posts, I've people wondering and whispering whether I've given up as an extreme leader.



Actually, on the contrary. And this is where I wanted to highlight how important balance is - I've ran an amazing race at work since March, and in April, I quickly realised how much energy this has taken from me. And on 31st May, I ran my first marathon, despite being sick (even during March, KL Int'l Marathon 21km race) despite being zapped from the daily work rituals. The amazing strategy I had was purely mental - to run the Sundown Marathon based on simply following a few principles. Remain positive, rest, and race without pressure, plus a few cheat tricks - carbo loading, sleeping, racing the last few weeks prior to the race.

In this blog, I specially wanted to highlight people whom I work with who takes to sports as an elixir of life. People like these folks take the effort to stretch ordinary into extra-ordinary and it is not through any push but their own. I'm fortunate to be running this rat race with them - they are the ones who give me the second wind - and all of us need that second wind - in the marathon of life, second wind, third wind, fourth wind - we never finish running.



There is no finishing line...
