I started running around October 2021 to participate in a half marathon that my job signed me up for. Around that same time, I had a motorcycle accident that tore my ACL, an injury that I didn’t seek treatment for until more than a year later. I ran on an off through 2022 and 2023, and have participated in a few races. After getting a personal best half marathon time at Taipei marathon 2023, I decided to sign up for a full marathon in Shiding New Taipei City in April 2024. I have a few other goals running this year, so here they are in no particular order.
- Finish Shiding marathon (It’s a really hilly course, so I don’t have a time goal)
- Sub 23 minute 5k
- Sub 50 minute 10k
- Sub 2h half marathon
- Participate in a marathon in fall or winter (hopefully Mt. Fuji)
- Run a 10k completely barefoot
- Run over 600km total.
For anyone else who likes to run, hope you stay healthy and injury free in 2024. Happy hunting
