At the end of each day and before I go to
bed, I would look at my Tab Daily Planner to check what my plans are for the
following day. As I scanned through my planner a few days ago,
I noticed that
MAY. 31, 2013 was just around the corner and
somehow felt that this date had some special significance to me... but I
just can’t figure out what or why. Then it hit me :
MAY 31 is MY RUNNING ANNIVERSARY!
This May 31, 2013, I have been running for
33 years with an accumulated total distance of
93,333.85 km.
After 33 years, it would be a complete
understatement to say that I really LOVE Running.
Running is not only my passion but it has
been a way of life. I approach each run like a child with a new
toy. Each Run is always Exciting.... Each Run is so much
Fun.... Each Run gives me a natural High!!!!
I don't care if the weather is hot or cold.
I don’t care if the terrain is mud or concrete.
I don’t care if the sun is blazing or if
its Typhoon signal # 4.
I don’t care if my body is on the "squeaky
side" :-]
All I care about is lacing up my running shoes,
getting out the door and just run.
I do not run to be healthy.
I do not run to be fit.
I do not run so I can perform well during
races.
I run because it gives me CLARITY.
I run because it challenges and inspires me
I run because it is who I am and who I want to
be.
I am a RUNNER and I will run till the day I
die.
Every run day is a Good day ...a Beautiful
day.
I thank God for the past 33 years of running
and the sense of fulfillment it has given me and I pray for many more
good running years ahead.
