🔸Completed 1500 Days Run Streak on December

2023 has not been an easy on as I worked towards my 1500 days run streak milestone. The worst days were suffering from bladder infection. This year I also got to spend more time running overseas. That meant I was chased by monkeys in Desaru, stray dogs in Georgetown and Chiang Mai. The best days were 8 pre-dawn runs at Benchakitti Forest Park in Bangkok and along the quiet town of Hua Hin, and the 18 days this month in Japan. My favourite routes of the Japan had to be Rinko-Osanbashi along Yokohama Bay and Shōnai River bank in Nagoya. The most challenging runs in Japan had to be running uphill in the thick snow and treacherous thin ice.

The rest of the days just seemed to go by in a flash. Did 2023 feel like it past faster? Indeed. Even so, I had not ran any faster and longer. This year's goal was to reach the 1500 days run streak milestone. So I was slow and steady and making sure I can pull through the days to reach my goal.

On the last day of 2023, I stand at 1515 days run streak, at least 10 km everyday. Rain or shine, pain or infections, just run on. Chasing Greatness. Run, I Will!
