A email to a friend… On the drive this morning, I was thinking about your email a bit more. I was thinking about this lately. Church is more than just wed or thurs and Sun. I think fundamentally we know the church is more than just the buidling. Sometimes, I notice some of my action show otherwise. I was sharing with a friend last night how sometimes we have the intention on building a...
Why I love the Olympics… b/c of posts like this => Is it going to be Javier or Vanessa? On the ‘training’ front, I add up the hours last week and it turned out to be 13.5 hours (12.5 hr aerobic exercise). Not too shabby. Today, over coffee, I was sharing with a friend how I don’t feel like I am training. It was quite funny b/c anyone can see 12.5 hr, compare to average...
Yesterday, I rode with a friend, Darren. I trained Ironman distance triathlon with him. He is a very talented, hard working and have a great attitude in life. He has a much better fitness level. Basically he is faster and can go further than me. I enjoy riding with him because he always crack me. And yesterday there is no exception. We did two time trials (ride as hard as you can). By the second...
Is happiness overrated? Today I had 2 hr long run. It was great. The weather was just nice and warm. I ran with a IM jersey I got earlier the year. I stayed in Zone 1 and just keep things easy. After yesterday’s ride, my legs were sore. 🙂 It is interesting about endurance sport. For those of us who are in it, we know how good it feels when it hurts. When we put the work down. When we drop...
Fewer words.. Mon when I biked to the lake and stop to enjoy the view. As I got back on my bike, I flipped and fell over. My first instinct…is the bike ok?..no scratches..great.. Now what about me. Okay, no bruise, no broken teeth..good. You know you are triathlete when you look at the bike before you check your body after a crash. Very embarrassing :). A group of people were BBQing and...
I wrote this email to a few brothers in Christ… Through a number of discussions with other bro and sis, one common theme is that one’s spiritual life declines when God is not place in the center. From an outward symptom, this is usually the lack fo devotion, reading the Bible, prayer, spending time w/God. For me, the biggest challenge is to spend quiet time with God. it can be as...
This is the title of my devotion tonight. It is base on Genesis 39:22-23: “Before long, the jailer put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and over everything that happened in that prison. The chief jailer had no more worries after that, because Joseph took care of everything. The Lord was with him, making everything run smoothly and successfully.” The devotion is focus on that Joseph has...
Few words… Yesterday I went to the pool and did 1,500 m (WU 500m, Drills 800m and paddles/CD 600m). I did a quick 15 min jog afterwards. Yesterday was my b-day. I am fortunate and grateful to have many friends and love ones to celebrate with me. A surprise party was held for me a few weeks ago. It was great. I am now sitting here with my laptop trying to describe the past few years. It has...
Breaking away from routineI haven’t been very active in the blogging community. I haven’t post a lot. I do read a lot of blogs and bloglines help me track which blogs are updated. Today I glanced over Chuckie’s blog. The topic was on training with no routine. Routine, on itself, is “the death of the soul”. He finishes the blog with: “Training,” I wrote to...
Tonight’s devotion was focusing on the joy of following Christ no matter the ups and downs in life. A passage that I was reading was Galatians 5. There is one section that caught my eyes and I found it relatable (spelling error on my firefox browser. I guess I am making my own words!). 13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature[a];...
