+ 1 = 30 years of Running
Today May.30, 2010 is my 30th Running Anniversary.
Running has always been my Passion, I feel it is what I do best.
Every kilometre I ran was always an Adventure to me.
Every step I took was a discovery of myself.
There were days when I felt like I was running in Heaven, but there were also days that I struggled with my run.
But I NEVER had a bad running day, because Running is what I truly enjoy.
I have always said, “Running is NOT a Sport, but a way of LIFE”.

I pray for many more Running Decades to come and I always Thank my Wife,kids but most of all my Creator because it is them who gives me the strength to go on.
