The ReAwakened Runner
My FIRST running blog post was published on 20th May 2014! The Green Corridor (Singapore) Run 2014 Race Review.
A run I hadn't planned on doing but was lucky enough to have been given a free slot by Just Run Lah! No strings attached, no obligations!
But that it'd be nice if I or the other 3 lucky winners could write a review of the race.
It was just what I needed! I had been pondering whether to start a running personal blog but somehow the idea of no one actually reading the posts was discouraging me.
I had a blog on pop-culture related Music which I eventually just let it die a slow natural death for the reasons that I lose interest, and the lack of readership.
I had a few possible names in mind for my blog initially :
Born Again Runner, ReBorn Runner, ... these 2 sounded too religious ...
The Full Battle Order Runner (coz I pack more into my Hydration pack than the average runner would) ... too long of a name ...
At the 11th hour, I decided that I should instead go ahead with .....
The ReAwakened Runner !
I did my first and only running event back in Dec '91. The Mobil Marathon.
I completed the Full Marathon, and then never took part in another running event ever again until I signed up for the 2012 Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore on the very last day of the Early Bird Registrations.
My wife had a week or 2 before teased that it was my 21st Anniversary since my one and only FM!
I duly signed up and hadn't looked back since ... and to date have completed another 3 FMs, a 50KM Trail Ultra, and a 101KM Ultra.
Many more will be done before I am thru thou !
The Runner in me has been truly ReAwakened !
