WE ARE BORN TO RUN

“All  of  us  were  born  to run”, says ultramarathoner, media personality,
newspaper  columnist  and  lawyer  Haide  Acuna,  when she graced the first
session  of the Runnr Academy last September 7, 2011 at Ayala Center Active
Zone.  

She said that running is instinctive in each of us, and like her, if
we  put our heart into it, running can lead us to a healthy lifestyle.  

She encouraged  us  to  do  the  same  and  take  running  as our passion.  

 She reiterated  that  we are lucky enough that with the present times there are
readily  available  information  about running with the presence of running
magazines,  blogs  (The  Bull  Runner)  and websites available at the net (
www.runnersworld.com,  www.competitor.com., etc.  

She also did mention that unlike  other sports where there will be declared winners, with running you
can  have  a  sense of accomplishement of being a winner when you cross the
finish line.  

Nothing beats the feeling of crossing the finish line.

Admittedly, Atty Acuna is one of the famous Cebu runners I'm dying to see in
person.  Listening  to her words of encouragement  is like having a pat in
the back.  It was such a once-in-a –lifetime opportunity to learn from her.

For  a  beginner  like  me,  those  words  were  a source of motivation and
inspiration.

After that first session, I was compelled to run.  My mindset dictates I am born to run and so I am made to conquer the road.
