How many kilometer can you run?
Posted October 20th, 2009 by limconnySome of my students are going to participate in Marathon run, they invited me and l am really interested, but l am worry of getting serious aching until l cannot shimmy at all la, ha ha, so.....dare not make a decision yet.
Elaine and Vinnie will participate in the 7km one, they are new in marathon so they wanted to try shorter one first, hmm....l think this is a right concept, work at own pace huh.
This is what l always share with my students, work at our own pace, if l know l can run to 5km only at this stage, l should not challenge 10km, may be, l can add on 1 to 2 km extra, but up to 10km is beyond the present ability, l do not think this is a good idea.
I experience this a lot in learning dance, my students like to joke this with me too, they always tell me, Conny, our brain understand, but the body has not understood yet la, ha ha!
But to me, it does not matter, as long as your brain is working, your body will sure follow one day, l believe if you own the method, you can do it, it is the matter of time only.
So, why worry of how many kilometer? As long as you are able to accomplish your target, you are your winner, only by conquering the challenge at the moment, we are able to take more challenges in future. Step by step, from zero to hero!
So, Jia You!
