Your First Running Race?

Wayang Question
Monkeys are like human, but do monkey get cramps?

I still remember the first running event I go by myself. The Terry Fox Run. At that moment I don't know anyone at all. I have register for a 5km run. Only green green me I just wear it T shirt and run. At that time 10km seen a unreachable distance for me. So 5km is just nice for me. 

I start join running event cause at that time, I really got nothing much to do. All my friend are either busy looking for money or busy taking care of their kids. So not easy to find people to go out. (And I dun really like to go out) And most of my friend are non active. Mostly they only love to window shop or seat chit chat and drink coffee. 

At that moment, I work almost everyday. At lunch time, I will see many old man seat at coffee shop drinking beer or tea coffee. And they can seat there whole day, after days and after days. Than one days you will see the old man gangs getting lesser and lesser. I don't want to end up like them. This call even you got money also no use. You are wasting your life. So I got a idea in my head. To have fun in minimum cost.

I started joining meetup group activities, than slowly move to walking groups than to running.
Why end up to running. Cause I found that runners the people there are more nice. They don't judge( at that time that's how I feel) and are very positive( maybe fake positive,some you can tell). They encourage you to go for more. That how I started register so many running events. Now I go less event, choosy on running event. I still remember the day that I ran at Terry Fox 5km. And that the first Running photo I got from the running photographer. So handsome.

Do you still remember how you still running and end up here now? Can you still feel the fire in your heart about running? I still run by myself now. Not aiming anything now. My fire have become candle light.
