I've found a new hobby, jogging. It's a miracle that a lazy bum like me will fall in love with this activity. I guess for me, life begins at 21....
What I like about jogging is that unlike the 100m dash, which I'm a huge fan of (due to no stamina required) and to feel the wind beating against your face as you 'fly' across whatever terrain you're running on, it requires endurance and coordination.
Whilst I jog, I not only have to control my breathing, hence the 'goldfish mouth':-p and also to control my footsteps. I must always remind myself not to stomp my foot because this is when I'll loose a lot of energy.
Jogging is also good because it builds up my stamina, which I must admit, I'm woefully lacking. Just imagine that you can only play for a while with the kids and drop 'dead' in less than half an hour :-s
But above all, I get to enjoy God's Creation whilst jogging. As I run past the forests, I get to marvel at how unique each of His Creation is. Last night, everything was so quiet except for the passing vehicles. My mind was at peace and at rest whilst I jog. You can say that when I jog, it's the only time that my mind is at ease.
As long as I live, I'll jog and jog and jog, just like how I run the Race of Life. Can't wait to go 'Home' :-)
PS: I need good jogging shoes....
