2007 - a look back...

It is a bit late for a look back at the year for 2007. However, 2007 has been quite a year for yours truly and it will be such a shame not to record the highlights down:

The year of short holidays
1. Krabi, Thailand in March with LET
2. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia & Phuket, Thailand in August 2007 with Kevin

Short holidays are better than no holidays. One will go nuts without a break.

The year of maintaining something I started
When I first started to change my lifestyle to a healthy one in November 2006, I kept thinking about how it will be short-lived. It has happened in the past. However, that is not so. It is January 2008 and I am still going. I am glad that I have proved myself wrong.

This will no longer be a highlight in 2008. The challenge now is to maintain it for the rest of my life.

The year of taking part in races
Two 10-km race (Passion & Shape Run)
15-km race (Real Run)
21km race (Singapore Bay Run)
42 km race (Standard Chartered Marathon)

Not that I have won any of the races but it was important to just take part in it. Running a full marathon in December was definitely the highlight of my 2007 and my life so far. I wouldn't even think of running 1 or 2 km years ago, let alone running a marathon. So, I am proud that I have achieved this, even if I didn’t finish it in the best time.

I am looking forward to running more races (perhaps in more challenging ones) in 2008. Good luck to me and may this year be a good a year like it was in 2007.
