My running journey began in 2006 and in the beginning, it was an arduous journey. Before that, the only running I did was for IPPT. My first experience with long distance race was at the SCSM 06 half-marathon. It was totally a different ball game compared to running 2.4km!

With a group of colleagues and friends, I embarked on the journey of long distance running. Each race for me was a challenge in which my goal was to strive to finish it and improved on my timings. I got to know of team fatbird in 2008 through my son and subsequently joined them for the marathon trainings. I conquered my first marathon at the SCSM 08 and it was an enjoyable experience. The joy of crossing the finishing line and the great health benefits of running has spur me on to come back for more. 

After seeing how inspiring the pacers were at last year SCSM, I became a pacer this year with the goal of sharing the joy of running while at the same time assist and encourage others to achieve their personal best.
