About Me: I was 12
years old when I started Running. I did orienteering first.On my first
practice everybody had to Run as far as we could. I Ran like3 Miles. I
couldn't read maps really fast so I always got lost in theforests. I
always wanted to complete the Marathon Distance. I was 15 when Idid it
first. (10/27/1989) On a track. 106 laps. My Friends counted thelaps. I
took 3 Hours and 58 Minutes. Second time I wanted to do faster.I
couldn't make it. 4 Hours and 9 Minutes. (06/08/1990). This time Itried
to do it on a shorter track. 182 laps. I did my first official Marathon
in 1991. (05/12/1991). I got sickjust before the Race. About 1 week
before the Race I was Running in rainand I got cold. I finished but I
didn't break the 3 Hour Mark.(3:16). I started doing Track And Field
after this and I was Running shorterdistances. 1500M, 3000M, 5000M,
10000M, 20000M, Half Marathon. In 1994 I went to College (Teacher
Training College) and duringBasketball Practice I overused my left
knee. I was still Running butusually it hurt. I got a surgery in
05/08/2001. It didn't really help.I was not Running for about 2 Years
after that. I tried to accept thatno more Running. But I couldn't
accept it. 03/22/2003: A boring day in my apartment. What about
Running? I wentto jog around my complex. I did like 5K. Very slow. But
my knee didn'thurt. So I started searching for flat, long Races. And I
found a 24 HourRace in San Diego. It was my 1st Ultra Race.
