A RUNNING STORY

Late night sitting under a palm tree, remembering the memories of my childhood. These were the days when I were a child, playing all day in the summer, running across the field without stopping for a minute is one of the happiest memories that I had.

During my childhood, my family used to take us on annual vacation to my grandparents' house. The summer holidays were the most awaited days of the year, there we felt rejuvenated in the nature. I, with two of my siblings found a perfect setting for next two to three weeks, we lived each day at its best. In front of house there were vast fields of mustard and rice. Each visit brought us closer to nature, we used to run sprint while returning home. It was a completely spontaneous moment that turned into an unforgettable memory of the lifetime.

Thinking deeply: "Can I someday feel the same and go back to living this moment? - Possibly no". Then, with a deep breath, a thought came to my mind: I can live the same joy and emotions as I try to live a new. The only thing running through my mind was run. The next day I took out my old shoes and wore them for the first time after a long time. I ran just 25 minutes and it felt better. "Finally, I am runner." I felt like a 7-year-old child when he runs, he felt like a hero of his own dreams, and no one could take away that moment away from him.

The day I discovered the runner in me I never stopped. My journey started with 5 km, then 10 km-15 km-21 km-25 km-30 km-42 km-50 km and continues.

I pursued a new dream in every run I had. I spent a lot running ultramarathons and long-distance races in very challenging conditions. On the journey, I learned a greater level of determination and spirit to never fail. It is not about running, it is not about the race, it is about the only hero among all who was once a child and dreamed in his eyes and wants to move forward till he reaches his destiny with empathy and courage to live life.
