Two days back at Stadium Panasonic Shah Alam, I was so happy to see one of my old running friend @jason.siva.16 back on action while I was doing the power drills after sprint training. It brought me back to this meaningful long post!
I would like to thank all the Photographer for taking down all these wonderful photos of us during the race! So memorable.
Looking back when I started as a trail runner, then to road runner, track runner, and now venture into Towerrunning Sport, I have learned so much from being active on it.
From the very beginning, I am just a newbie into the sport, absorbing all the knowledge from the best runner at the time, asking them how they train, collecting information and do my own research from the internet.
With such a good competition from them, I am able to progress, improve, and run side by side with them until one day I started to beat them.
Throughout the journey, sometimes I won, sometimes I lost, but I always learned from the experience. I enjoy the race even though I did not win the race as I learn even more from it. I always believe that I will be better and come back even stronger.
Sad things happened down the years as some of the runners stopped completely and not running anymore. I understand that everyone have their own main priority to be focus in like earn a living, marriage, having their own family or firstborn child, work life, career, injuries and illness, etc. I felt sad when they stopped completely although I wish they can still go for 10-20 min jog a day or perhaps venture into other sport like my friend Saddam, Jason.
In the end of the day, I am very glad that I am still staying in the sport although my current focus now is in Towerrunning sport. I only do major road races in Malaysia and sometimes oversea if I am happened to be around at that time.
What I want to tell here is that, stay active in sport, don't quit completely and life is like running, you have to keep learning and improving. Thanks to running, I am able to apply all the principles from it into my life as a professional athlete.
Always believe in yourself and strike it!
