Marathon running

Life is like running a marathon and not a sprint.You need the willpower to keep going to reach your goal ,its not who runs fastest who wins but whoever keeps on going. There is a runners high in long distance running that fuels your energy and powers your stamina. This morning i chatted with the marathoner eye candy.He said its too hot in Malaysia to run marathons as i asked him if he was training for Stanchart Marathom in KL.Wow he is a marathon fitness nut who runs in China and is aiming to train for the Chicago marathon next year.He said the best temperature to run is 11 to 12 o Celsius and the remperature this morning already reached 30 oC at 9am.His personal best time is 3 hours.I hope he breaks his own record next year when he takes part in the Chicago marathon. This Friday will be my eating out marathon.Two excolleagues and I are giving a farewell lunch for a colleague who has found a new job nearer her home and reduce her travelling time I like this young colleague who is my son's age.She has a lovely son and i show off my beloved fat cat photos while she shows me her cute baby.I like to socialise with younger colleagues like her as she is generous to train us older staff on the use of computer games in language learning as shes doing her Phd in education technology.Its fun to use quiz and games that reward you for achieving a level of proficiency.It is a challenge that keeps one on the toes and takes away the stress of testing. I may join my zumba gang for Friday dinner but if ive overeaten sinfully rich food for lunch, then i better cutback on self fattening exercise.
