two tales (one sweet one enlightening)

as i was driving home today i saw this man jogging with his headphone on along one of the small residential drives in werribee. i instantly think of dave. didn't he say he jogs a lot these days? has he been keeping up with it? does he look like this man in front of me, sweaty but glowing with life and health? i wish he does. then all of a sudden i realize i have the broadest smile on my face. oh, the thought of dave does light me up. after realizing the fact that he can warm my heart, i silently confirm that i do love him (after all the fights)

and i watched a bit triathlon (the australian national ironman competition) with jess. the winner is not important to us (so what someone can finish going around an island in 9 hours, i do it in 20 min with a car). what touched us is when a slightly overweight mum of four and a 70 year old granny finish running the race. the mum, upon entering the finishing track, found her four children waiting for her there, and finished the race holding their hands. THAT'S ACHIEVEMENT. (the mum and the granny finished in 16hrs and 20hrs respectively)
