One’s motivation can be in a form of one’s intention. However, intention alone is not enough when one does not have the push to spur the action. Having a buddy changes things so much! Alhamdulillah!
I met Iffah at Salam Singapore the other day and we somehow talked about getting fit together. So alhamdulillah, I managed to drag myself out after subuh for 1 round around Bedok Reservoir.
She is so awesome mashaAllah! For always cheering me on (haha) while yours truly gasped for air. It was my first time not having any water breaks. Unlike other jogs at SMU gym and Tampines hub where I would pause every KM for a gulp of water. I truly enjoyed the company and the view! The greenery, soft rays of sunshine dancing on your skin and angin sepoi-sepoi made me feel at ease. Alhamdulillah.
I then checked Google calendar and saw that the run is 1 month from now and got really nervous. Stress even. This is because I am nowhere near my goal:
“I am so slow”
“Don’t say that! As long as you don’t stop”
“I never wanted to join a marathon. Only wanted to be healthy…”
“Yes, we are doing this to be healthy ok?”
ok Iffah ❤ Thank you for helping me refocus on what really matters.
Received a message from TBH after that and that made my morning better!
Blessed Friday! 🙂
