🔥 4th Year Anniversary Run | 1460 Days Running Streak 🏃🏻🔥

4th Year Anniversary Run | D1460 Streak

23,443 KM

𝟭𝟰𝟲𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. For 𝟰 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 I have been running at least 10K everyday. I have been through haze, COVID, hot spells, thunderstorms, snowing winter. I have suffered feet injuries and occasional days under the weather. But I never let any of that be an excuse. Even on vacations and work trips, I had never skipped a day to clock my run and get my steps in.

Today, is the 1460th consecutive days that I have been running. 4 years ago, I took on a #daily10k challenge to run at least 10km every day. From then, 10km became 13km and half-marathons on weekends.

Monday is my regular rest day. On rest day, I just do a simple and easy 13km to clock my mileage. It is also like any other day of the year, when I need to fulfil my daily task to prep and send the kids to school. My daily routine starts at 4 A.M. in the morning and I have limited time to run and finish before 6 A.M.. Today, I took my run to National Stadium at Singapore Sports Hub.

Why do I run? 

I run to keep fit for my health, my health for my family. 

My objective has always been very clear: 

𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙖 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮. 

That is why I run at 4 in the morning, before everyone is awake. That is the only time slot to make sure I maximize my time for my family and my work commitments, on school days, weekends and even vacations.

It was never about how fast or how far I can go. 

It is about how long I can keep up the discipline to keep running everyday.

Is running my hobby?

It is not a hobby, but part of my daily life.

A day without it makes my day uneasy.

Running keeps my sanity in check.

Since November 2019, every day all green!

This is satisfaction.

Snippets from my morning runs in 2023

The highlight feature for this year is to catch Optimus Prime in the break of dawn at Gardens by the Bay Singapore, against the backdrop of Marina Bay Sands.

I spent most of my runs around Marina Bay Singapore and Gardens by the Bay from the early mornings until sunrise. This is my favourite spot to catch the most beautiful sunrises in the city. Of course, sunrises are my treat for weekends and school holidays. On most days of the year, my runs around the Bay happen in the dark, way before the first sliver of light from the sun.

Singapore Sports Hub is also another of my favourite running location.

Since I start my running streak, I had insisted on running outdoors, even on overseas work trips or vacations. One of my favourite country is Thailand, where I spend most work trips running every morning. My favourite running spots has got to be Lumphini Park and Benchakitti Forest Park in Bangkok.

Run, I Will! 🏃🏻🔥
