My First ever Marathon...in 10days time

This is the moment that I have been waiting for. 42.5km, 11:59pm, 30th May,2009, Singapore.
Yes, this is it. This is what I have been training for. By hook or by crook, I MUST get the finisher medal and finish below 6hours.
Looking back in December,2008. I have challenged myself to run a marathon. See that kennysia[dot]com also can finish a marathon, that gives me additional reason to run the race as well. But right now, it's personal. It's more to challenging myself to finish the race, to keep the faith. Just as I have walked my Christian life for so long, often a times, when I fell, i took a very long time to recover. And I need external inspiration to recover. I gave up most of the time.
Running this marathon, it is not so much of on my physical strength but the mental strength. Thank God, I have help! The Holy Spirit. He is going to be with me while I am running. He is going to give me a song. A song that lift me up when I run.
This month is also the month of prayer. Praying for the nation. Malaysia needs prayer. I know, I alone won't make a different, but I also know that I too CAN make a different but standing in the gap for my country, Malaysia. (though Ill be in Singapore). So, i do hope that whoever is reading this blog, do pray with me together as I run the race.
Singapore, here I come!
