Hi. My name is Sam and I’m a runner. The aim of this blog is to keep a journal of my running experiences, share my thoughts, give running tips/lessons and simply connect with other runners.

When did you start running?
I started running to get rid of excess fat. I started running Feb of 2009 to help my self get fit and to win a competition in our office called “The Biggest Loser”.  It’s a competition similar copied from that western realty show but the only difference was that we were given 2 months for the game. I resort to running as this is the cheapest way of losing weight. True enough, on the first week where I run 3k everyday, I lost 7.2 lbs. My office mates were shocked/surprised they thought I was just starving myself to death. The following weeks I still ran 3k but 3 times a week and after 2 months of running +joining local races (Condura and Airspeed), I lost a total of 28 lbs. From 181 lbs, I’m now 153lbs.

So what now?
I’m still running and preparing myself for an ultramarathon next year. The Bataan Death March Ultramarathon race 10km.
