Running with Nike+ Charity Run 2007

In the past two years, I have ran a lot more compared to my younger and youthful days in my secondary, army and university days (I was playing mainly team sports such as football, rugby league and basketball)

My bigger runs mileage currently stands as:
  • 2005
    • New Balance Real Run 10km
  • 2006
    • New Balance Real Run 10km
    • Army Half Marathon 21km
    • Standard Chartered Marathon 42km
  • 2007
    • PA Passion Run 10km
    • Mizuno Wave Run 10km
    • Army Half Marathon 21km
    • New Balance Real Run 15km
Recently, Nike Singapore has launched a charity run and it doesn't require you to come together on a day, date and time for the run. It operates differently, all you have to do is put on a pair of running shoes, plug in your Nike Plus Sports Kit, “clock” your distance online, and for every 1KM run, Nike will donate $5 worth of products to underprivileged children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

On the right column, do click on the interesting, flashy, striking and colourful advertorial by Nike and visit Nike+ Charity Run 2007. Let's all do our part for charity by running and the Nike Plus Sports Kit is really cool and I was planning to get it for my long distance running !

It's time for my Standard Chartered Marathon 2007 on 2nd December 2007. Counting down to another marathon !!!

Running a marathon is a pilgrimage for me because it reflects the journey that I undertake as a entrepreneur, lots of heartbreaking pain and many extreme difficulties, lack of support and belief from friends and relatives etc etc .......

However, when I crossed the finishing line, the joy of completion cannot be easily written in simple or powerful words and phrases. While I taste my fruits of successful completion of a marathon (or life journey as a entrepreneur), I know that I am ready to start my next life marathon, more prepared and improved changes in my life.

Happy running folks !
