If you run, you are a runner no matter what your pace and distance is.

No. of Half Marathon: 2 (Best Time – 2:02)

Motivation:

The feeling of sweat down our face, the heat from the sun, the barking of dogs and the dusty road - that’s what we face as runners.

Why do you run then, you may ask? I run because it is something that you can do by yourself, a time to unwind, to reflect, but most of all, a great opportunity to meet new friends who share a common bond - the LOVE and FUN of Running.

That is why we are pacing the 2:30hr FUN group!

Why do I like running?

Running relaxes me. It helps me think. Running is more than just a sport or hobby. Running is life. It has ups and downs but if you take it one step at a time and don't quit, the moment you cross the finish line, you will realize in your life that anything is possible.

So by being a pacer, I hope to help all runners from all walks of life to achieve greatness in their life and never give up!
