{[Perfect Escapade =-.]}

Somewhere in the newspapers last week, a European grandma in her early 60s was featured for having completed 32,000 km over the past 5 years in an attempt to highlight the preciousness of life, at the same time, raise awareness on prostate cancer after it took away her husband's life.

Crazy it may sound, given her age and the distance covered. However, she simply shelved her accomplishment aside, saying it was the least she could do. But this final line of hers struck me deep. "I had to do something and this was a small thing really - just putting one foot in front of the other."

Easier said than done. Seriously. I cultivated a habit of jogging a few years back but simply gave up after several months. It wasn't as easy as "just putting one foot in front of the other" as she mentioned.

First, the mere thought of the running process puts me off. Second, all the pain my feet is going to experience makes me shun away from jogging even more. I don't wish to have a repetition of the muscles swelling at the arch of my foot, and the weak ankles acting up again.

Moreover, joggers must have determination, willpower and be mentally strong in order to complete the distance they set for themselves. All of which, i lack. I suppose i'm just plain lazy.

That's why i always admire marathoners who enthusiastically signed up when Singapore announced earlier this year about its up and coming Olympic and Ultra Marathons. I guess i would never ever sign up for one my whole life. Those gruelling runs... they enjoyed the process of it all. 42km... 84km... Geez, one foot in front of the other only? I believe there's more than just the movements of the feet.

And not only the marathoners. Success stories of men and ladies who set up an exercise regime for themselves, determined to lose some pounds off their heavy frames. When will i ever get myself to do that?

Argh!!! I need some serious motivation to get my feet moving. Haha... i wonder when will that be... =x
