That's me, only asian in the picture, with some amazing runners

Hey all!

Holy shit. Some of you in the running tag might remember me?

I have been away from crypto space for a long time, and for some reason, I logged onto my steem and realized I have not shared some updates for a long time. A lot has happened since the last time I wrote in Steemit (which is Feburary, 2018).

Long story short, I quit my job in March, and came to Iten, Kenya, to pursue my passion in running.

That's me running with some fast ladies. It took me a month to keep up with them during their easy runs

It's been 8 weeks so far, and I am thoroughly enjoying the time here.

We do some yoga in the morning too. It's awesome!

Athletes doing some core and rhythm exercises. I was sick this day so I was a camera man.

I have been recording some awesome videos and writing some newsletters while I was here. Also, I have finisehd translating my ebook on my experience here (when I was here in 2015).

I have a lot of good content I want to share with you all in Steemit and DTube.

It is late in Kenya, so I will slowly start sharing them starting tomorrow.
Hope you are all well!

Run with joy and gratitude.
Sung

Wow, that is so cool! I have read A.Finn’s book “running with the Kenyans” and you are actually in Iten!!

I read his book and got an inspiraton too! I see that you are very consistent with your running. Hope you continue with joy and gratitude! :)

There are no excuses for a consistent runner, you just have to adapt yourself to the conditions of your surroundings with the available resources.
