Daily Lessons from Life 04 December 2010 - Tomorrow is the Marathon!

Well. This is it. Tomorrow at 5 a.m. I will be jogging off the 3rd marathon of my 2nd life (after 50 years old)!

It is a test or validation of my 7e Way of Leaders approach to life.

Envision - healthy lifestyle means better life quality!;

Enable - do all the training required with the tools and proceses and methods adopted and adapted!;

Empowered - I want to do it. No one else makes me do it!;

Execute - all the training jogs and the 3 1/2 marathon training jogs prepare me for the real thing tomorrow;

Energize - keep the plan simple: aim for the half-way mark, turn and then starts the countdown. This year I will bring 4 energy gel packs with me, stretch every 10-11 km as suggested by Hiok Khoon to release the lactic acid building up before cramps set in, drink isotonic drink every 2-3km (I am not sure about this as I was over-hydrated last year!);

Evolve - in the race the 42.195km will see a few evolutions alright! :-) Honestly, get through this and plan for next year!!;

ETHICS - it is for a good cause of raising fund for the Singapore Cancer Society involving friends who contributed and to keep up with a healthy lifestyle of appropriate eating and regular exercises!

I look forward to reporting the progress by tomorrow evening on the 2010 Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore!!
