Well, got sth to praise God today. Sth also gotta do with Facing The Giants lols.

Its a tuesday, so it means P.E day. 2 weeks ago we had our firswt 2.4km run, and i ended up 10th place with those that ran. i failed by 6 seconds simply by slowing down, sine i had thought that the passing time is 13:20, which was really 14:20. My timing was 14:26.

Today, when i was running the 2/3 round, i felt fatigue overtaking me. Thats the reasoni had not been passing since Sec 1. running the first quarter of the round already sapped me of strength, and i was soon reduced to walking briskly, not that it eased the pain present on my sides.

Reaching the half-point of the 2/3 round, i was soon slowing down to walking, but as i looked up into the sky and gave thanks to God, i remembered - Give Your Best.

With that thought in mind, i realized that, as my mind told God that i will give him my best in the run, i felt strength coming back to me, and the pain easing off. Soon i was back at the speed at which i started off with. Whenever i felt the pain coming back, or the temptation to slow or even stop, i recited the phrase that was mentioned in the movie that we saw last week during cell.

I can show my best, He has already provided the way for me to run, for me to actually pass my run. Cant help but slow during the final half, i even recited what was said in the movie - I aint done yet - and continue my last dash into the finishing place.

Finally, with God's help, i finished with 13:19, passing the timing that i actually thought was the passing mark.

Praise God, he helped me pass, not only the officially NAPFA timing, but the 'timing' that i thought was real from the start.
