Transcending disabilities

When you're faced with proof that courage & tenacity can transcend any obstacle, you cant help but be awed & breathless !! i switched over to the 2005 ESPY awards ceremony just as the winners of the Aurthur Ashe courage award was announced and i sat there transfixed as they rolled the short documentary on both Jim MacLaren & Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah. God, those 2 guys are running & cycling despite severe disabilities (and as in jim's case having to rise from tragedy 2x.. however does he do it ?!). doesnt leave us able bodied people much room for excuse now does it ?!

Anyhoo, watching those two makes me feel that i too can move mountains if i wanted it badly enough !! they're completely awesome... makes me ever so glad i pushed myself outta bed and onto the jogging track this morning, even though it was wet & drizzly.

1st lap= about 4 km= 25 minutes
2nd lap= about 8 km= 30 minutes
total time = 55 minutes (still under 1 hr .. yay!)

Even if its nowhere close to what those marvelously courageous guys are doing (macam langit dgn bumi obviously), i'd like to think it aint too shabby for a 40 something non-athletic makcik ;) haaa, perasan jgn tak perasan pah oooi lol !!!

Hmmmm. wonder if theres still any spaghetti left over from dinner (the kiddos usually packs 'em in like theres no tomorrow lol) ingat nak buat 'sahur'....

Jom puasa jom :)
