Courage

The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I even had the courage to start -John Bingham


For some of you, this Sunday race will be your first ever 11k race in your whole life. It's ok to feel jittery, excited, slightly discouraged but always remember this quote from John Bingham whenever your self-doubt starts kicking in and threatening to derail your confidence.

It'll be a great feeling to complete a race. However, the courage that spurred you to join this race in the first place was something you much cherish. How many times in our life we just get cold feet in front of the obstacles? How many times in our life that we reach a crossroad but too scared to even continue?

You've made a right move by joining the race. Believe me, in the end of the day, you'll find yourself irreversibly changed by the race, no matter how fast or slow you complete the race. The passion will be burning in you, I say, for a very long time.

Let's give our best and to infinity and beyond.
