I started my running journey in 2024 when I was applying to become a uniformed personnel. I never expected that my simple 3.2KM training (for PAF) would turn into something much bigger, a never-ending journey, a constant battle of ME vs ME.
That simple jog for my PFT became the beginning of my running era. From that day forward, I slowly fell in love with running. What started as training eventually became a passion, a lifestyle, and a journey that introduced me to amazing people great friends, supporters, and brothers and sisters not by blood, but by heart ❤️
Along the way, Circle Productions Inc. paved the way for me to experience not only local races but also events on a national level. Through their events, I was given opportunities to challenge myself, chase new PRs, and even dream of standing on the podium someday. And of course, the experience becomes even better with the smooth, soft, and chafing-free singlets from Tailor Made by Olive 👕🔥

Looking at these two photos, I can really see how far I've come. From that first 21KM to where I am today, the journey has been filled with struggles, improvements, new friendships, unforgettable races, and countless lessons. I’m genuinely happy and proud of what I’ve become through running and this journey is far from over.
Kudos! Circle Productions, for creating events that give runners like me a place to challenge ourselves, create memories, and become better.
Kudos! Tailor Made by Olive, for being part of the journey and for making every run more comfortable
From a simple 3.2KM PFT training to chasing 21KM PRs, from running for a requirement to running because I love it ‼️
*IT WAS, IT IS, AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE — ME VS ME ⚡🏃
