First a respond to last post’s comments: i. Kelly – Interesting. I thought Jesus cry not b/c of Lazarus death but it was through seeing the grieving of Lazarus’ love ones (aka his sisters, Mary and Martha) that touched His heart. ii. joe – In some scriptures (like Mark), the disciples are depicted are those who just don’t get it. If I was in their case and seeing all...
That felt good! So it has been a week since I did my Half Ironman. I am feeling super. Over the weekend I went to Rhode Island. The drive is 11 hr and I figure if I can be on the saddle for 8 hours, I can be on the driver seat for just as long. My toes are still black (I need to post some lovely pics to show). The good thing is that they ain’t sore no more. I figure I can start running...
I went to Rhode Island to visit my ex-pastor over the weekend. It was a 11 hr drive and by the time we got back home on Sun, I was pretty tired. I was bored from driving. The trip was definitely worthwhile and spiritually refreshing. We spent a number of nights with lots of Q&As. We did a Bible study on Titus. And we had fellowship with one another. Despite the tiredness, I still go for a...
Ellie’s comment on my previous post, The Cost of Being a Disciple: Very thought-provoking. I’m having the temptation to “walk” at the moment… not give it my all, too strenuous, I don’t have the energy, it’s too hard, etc., etc. Thank you for putting it into words for me. My response: Hi Ellie, Thanks for reading my blog. I just came back from Rhode Island...
I am continue to discern and ponder from John MacArthur’s sermon on Heaven! The Narrow Gate or The Broad Gate. Which Path are you on? (a great sermon, it is available on itune to download for free). When it comes to sharing the Gospel to others, what do I say? Jesus once said in Luke 14:25-34 (The cost of being a Disciple): 25Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he...
Half Ironman Peterborough Race Report My 2006 and 2008 finisher medals side by side. Both Aaron and Darren already have their race report up. There are a number of thoughts ‘running’ in my head after the race. Let start off with a brief summary of my expectation and what really happen on race day. This season I was training on and off. With that in mind, my expectation wasn’t...
Peterborough Fun. Half Ironman Peterborough Quick Report Aaron just dropped me back home. 5 hr 45 min. 50 min swim2:55 bike1:55 run Age Group 16/20 (Dang i wish they give prizes from the bottom up :P). Overall a good time. The run was toasty 🙂 To summarize: Swim – two loops. By 500 m, I was swimming fine. A lot of slapping around. More so than two years ago when I did this race. Bike...

Inspiration. A few days ago, I got this email… Hey Cliff, I have been reading your blog for a few months. I had done a google search for “Christian Triathletes” and at the time yours was one of the first links to come up. I have prayed for you so often and feel like I have come to know you by reading both of your blogs. I thought I would write to say hello and ask you for...
It’s a good day to do a Half Ironman…
