Color Run 2013

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last posted something in here. Got some other priorities but I am glad I am back with something colorful.  I had the privileged to join the Color Run 2013 in Singapore held last Sunday, July 18 at Sentosa.  But let me share a story on how I got to join.

The first time I saw the ad at Facebook, I wanted to join because as you all know, I am a big fan of colors.(Yeah, my blog title shows..lol ) But for some reasons, I did not register. Actually, I was filtering my activities and this is one of those I considered as "this is fun, but its OK if I'll miss it." Life goes on. But it did not stop there. A friend offered me to take her slot but I refused.  (got to work on receiving issues on my heart). Couple of days before the event, another friend announced that someone cannot make it to the event and so the slot is open! This time, I said yes and accepted it.

Prior to taking the slot, I was telling God that I am OK with going church on a Sunday, hearing my favorite pastor preached about grace (*wink *wink). It was enough for me. But God is soooooo good and aware of what's inside my heart. He knows that I love colors and that I would enjoy the happiest and craziest 5k in my life. 

Some photos during the Color Run 2013! Enjoy!

Being in Shape is a Spiritual Discipline

I always thought that spiritual discipline refers only to Bible reading and prayer.  But then, I came across Rick Warren's devotional that says being in shape is not just physical but a spiritual discipline.  It's not just about losing a few pounds, wanting to live longer, or trying to look nicer.  He explained that God created our body and Jesus died for it.  God is going to hold us accountable for how we managed what He gave.  Also our body is God's temple, was bought at a price and for that it needs to be taken care of.  

In addition to that I see myself getting married someday, give birth, have kids and take care of them as well as my husband which all requires a healthy and strong body. Is this too much thinking? haha. So the next time I don't feel like running or swimming or engaging to any form of exercise, let this be my motivation.  

A much better running area

Tada! This will be my official running / jogging area as of today. Its better and bigger! The ground even shows the distance that you have run. Yey! I saw men trimming the grass as if the place is really being prepared for me. Thank you Lord for once again touching my heart. ❤

The pain will be worth it..

Muscle pains, itchy legs, sweating, dark skin, is it worth it? 

I know all the pain will be worth it as I make exercise (running/jogging/swimming) part of my lifestyle. As I grow up, or should I say grow older, all the more I realized the importance of keeping the body in good shape.  Making the most of this opportunity because time waits for no man. Aja! Aja!

Earliest date on Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! ❤

I went jogging with my Dad early in the morning today - earliest date ever! Haha. Grateful that it didn't rain today because I've been missing my running schedule.

What are your plans for Valentine's day? Hope you all have a colorful day as you celebrate with your loved ones.

My First Run

I can't remember when was the last time I run but this will be my first for this year. Need to work on some fats on my tummy area. I'm not involved in any sports so I hope running could help to make me tone and firm and somehow help to get rid of my allergy.

What sports are you into? Can you share some of its benefits?
