In my 1st year in high school, I did join track and field from our high school intramural with my high school best friend. Being so young and aggressive, lack of knowledge and training, I faced the most embarrassing moment on the sporty part of my life. At a very young age, I was not capable of admitting any losses yet.. well, immaturity speaks. To cut the long story short.. I lost. Aw! Yup, I failed. Since then, I never participated in any running competition again. It never occurred to me to even try for the longest time until April this year (2011) when I was invited by a former co-engineer to a running event for a cause - "Run for Japan".
Since I came from a Japanese company which fed me for more than 3 years and where in I first gained my corporate knowledge and attitude... I agreed. I thought, this is just for fun so I registered for the 5k distance event.
Ironically, this event, as I haven't expected, has triggered my addiction to running...
"Run for Japan" --> a greentennial fund-raising running event held at Bonifacio Global City on April 17, 2011
