running-day #2. today, my 2 mile time was 19:38. such a terrible reality. that is why i've concluded that i ran an extra lap today. my real time should be in the 18's. =D anyways, as i was running today i started to think about my high school x-country years. my friend, wesley chan, was really fast and always seemed to improve every time he raced. but i remember this one particular time when i was waiting at the finish line to cheer on the first runners from our team to come in. wesley ran really fast that day and actually came in second place! but after he finished, he collapsed and threw up! freakin' incredible huh?
note: x-country runners who throw up after they run means that they ran to their body's full potential.
i thought and thought about it and realized that he seriously put his body to the MAX! he gave it his all and he had done so well.
as i was running today, i thought about the analogy of our chistian lives being like a long race. i think alot of us run the way i run when i run at the arc-pacing yourself well in the beginning and slowly degenerating with every lap. =D i mean in a race, you definitely have your ups and downs throughout the event. but what counts is that you gave it your best. i think the same thing should go for lives as christians. my encouragement to everyone is not run like out-of-shape phil, but rather run like i-am-so-going-to-throw-up-after-this wesley. Philippians 4:14-I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me hevaenward in Christ Jesus.

i had another one of those days where i felt really proud to be a student at UC Irvine. as i was walking to my film studies class, i seriously had the best view of my beautiful campus. my school has the greenest grass, the warmest sun, the nicest breeze, and the most appealing buildings. i remembered that debate justin had with dave and john chi about choosing Irvine or Davis for college. lol. today was another one of those days where i was glad i listened to dave and john chi. "this is irvine. this is riverside. this is davis." lol.
