People around me know that i run a lot and i love running. but they do not know the reasons that i love running. and this post is dedicated to all those runners out there who share the same inspiration with me. :)
It all started in new year eve of 2008. as a tradition for myself, every year before it ends i will review what i did for the past 1 year and what i should do in the following year. realizing that i had gone through my teenager time without any great achievement which i can be proud of, i decided that i should do something different in the following year.
One day in May 2009, while i was browsing the internet, i went to a site which promote kl marathon. that time i knew that this is an event that will give me some achievement in that year. so without any hesitation i registered for half marathon and i asked my friends, Michael and Jia Seng to join together with me. so 3 of us registered this event and we trained for it.

I still remember vividly the feelings of running together with a few thousands of runners together. it is great to have someone running beside u and encourage each other. the feeling of crossing the finishing line is greater than anything especially after u had endured 2 hours plus. the joy of holding "a piece of metal" medal is indescribable. only when u joined and trained for that u will understand the joy and excitement of it. :)
since then, i become addicted to running. i love the feelings of crossing the finishing line and walking around with my medal. then i browsed through and found 1 run after KL marathon, Men's Health Night Run 2009.
that run was the run which i joined together with Michael, Nicholas and Jia Seng. it is a run held at night. the run was perfect because of great companion. :)

After that, i stop joining all the run as i back to UTP and it is hard for me to continue to join any running event in KL. But i continue to join during my internship as i intern in KL and it is easy for me to join any running event. All these run has a story behind it. thanks to all the people who support and encourage me along the journey. :)

At the end of the year, i will attempt full marathon in singapore. it will be the 1st full marathon that i join after so many half marathon. running is an event that will challenge you to be a better, fitter person and the moment you sign up and train for any running event, your life changes! trust me, it is proven. :)
