It’s been more than 3 weeks since I last jogged, this is partly due to the rainy season and mainly due to my laziness. I could hardly keep up with my breathing and my mind was blank and couldn’t keep a thought going. Ended up with one of my poorest run ever – 10 km in 67 mins (not including the 2 resting time in between runs).
Perhaps I can blame it on the lack of sleep, I haven’t really been sleeping well for the past week. I feel weak, tired, and lacking motivation. Perhaps I should take up my friend’s offer of joining him and his wife for a little vacation to China. I brought up this topic during our weekly family dim sum, and to my surprise, my parents strongly encouraged me to go even when I have to skip Tuen Ng Festival and maybe even Father’s Day!
Perhaps this is just God’s way of telling me to rest and to humble myself before Him. May this be my prayer:
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
