-- The Starting Line --

Just this month (a few weeks ago actually), I was introduced into running.

Jerry Karundeng is responsible for this. Somehow he got me interested in this sport. Since I've been doing some laps once in a while for endurance training for parkour, I decided to do it more seriously.. I've been caught in this running thing. I was aware of Jerry and Mac's runs for sometime now but it was only after I had a talk with Jerry that I was caught.

Thanks to Jerry, I may be running my first race on May 25 -- the Adidas-Air Immune Blast Race Series 10k. My plan was to join a 15k on June, but ya.. Jerry again.. :P hehe.. Yah, so you could call that peer pressure.. haha.. I've fallen prey to this cruel reality!!

Running is one of the elements I see necessary to improve. This is my goal -- To improve myself in this aspect. So far, the fastest mile I did was done in 7minutes & 44seconds.. This is done in one run, one lap. But I'm afraid I couldn't run that fast in a long run. So I seek to improve that too.. There is alot to train for.

Mr. Jerry Karundeng, thanks for introducing me to running.
