Running is personal.

I used to sprint at younger age.

Raced to win.

Most of the times, I won or finished top.

100m, 200m, 800m, 1.6k, 3k…etc.

I was explosive,

I ran to impress.

But now, after numerous injuries, I have to change my approach.

Run with pace / peace / purposes.

Sustainably.

Finding that balance in every run,

to make it special and different,

is an art.

Breathes, arm swing, legs, feet, steps, and forms.

Move like an artist,

create your own piece of art.

2024 –

I run a lot.

Run to sweat, to forget, to track, and to see things.

I love seeing things,

passing by in front of my eyes.

A bit like city walk, but with faster pace.

I love speed.

Speeding is fun.

Thank god Strava makes documenting running a lot of fun.

It becomes more efficient & precise each time.

Find & unleash that passion & precision & purpose with each run.

Health is wealth.

Keep your body honest.

Stop racing for others,

Start running for yourself.

Onward.

Jan 20, 2024 / Jing’An, Shanghai, China / 8.88 km.

A 4’51” pace from downtown Shanghai to the bund with a mixture of rain and wind. Last run before CNY home.

Shanghai Winter is great for running. Misty weather, European architect, a bit blue, a bit classic about 4-8 celsius. After 15 mins of warm up, body started to sweat. Comfy.

The running route along Suzhou River has been my mental shelter. Water & waves always feels peaceful.

Feb 18, 2024 / New Taipei City, Taiwan / 5.48 km.

Back to Taipei for Lunar New Year break. Quite warm for February, picked up new gear, ran everyday, fully motivated.

Mar 29, 2024 / Wanning City, China / 4.33 km.

Unexpected trip to the southern China. Tough run. Bare foot. On the sand. With 3 different beaches.

And then it began pouring rain. I drove for nearly 100km to another village. That’s right, I was here for the beaches.

April 21, 2024 / Dishui River, Shanghai, China / 10km.

Spartan obstacle race with Vans fam. 25 obstacles in muds, and completing the journey with the squad made it even more interesting.

May 3, 2024 / East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia / 3.66 km.

Above water, under mountain, views after views. Satisfying.

May 5, 2024 / Cangu, Bali, Indonesia / 7.07 km.

50th run with Strava. run across villages and greens at early afternoon. Amazing views.

Can you tell I am a bit dehydrating?

May 7, 2024 / Cangu, Bali, Indonesia / 6.67 km.

Inspired by my friend that works out daily for the past five years, I started to implement that into my schedule. And…Bali trip became a booth camp. At least I wear shoes this time. The sand was hot.

Plumeria, one of my favorites.

Bali tradition, with serenity.

June 7, 2024 / New Taipei City, Taiwan / 3.04km

Post-work run along the neighborhood park to invigorate myself.

Today marks the first month for rehab. Test my lower back flexibility through couple temple runs. No major issue.

Aug 8 / Jing’An, Shanghai, China / 3.01km

Paris Olympic was truly inspirational. Everyday watching world class athletes competing and learning about their stories gave me a lot of fuels. Today I stretched a bit further and felt good.

Sep 1, 2024 / Suzhou River, Shanghai, China / 6.45km.

Beautiful Sunday run to the northern bund to see the last day of Kaws exhibition. Sunset was pure.

Sep 8, 2024 / Suzhou River, Shanghai, China / 6.47km.

Yin & yang, run with her.

A sudden rain made step heavier and floor slippery, but also made it reviving.

Full Moon. Run along the park, new discovery, Home. Beautiful one.
