And a few words about myself:

I was introduced to DCS by my colleague and friend Inki Choi who inspired me to run long distance. There’s a real sense of belonging in the club and I have made many amazing friends.

I am happy that I could run long distance races all these years without any major injury. I have inspired few friends and colleagues including my teenage son to start running. I have started bringing my son to club runs.

Everyone in the group is so supportive of him and he really looks up to the Friday runs with full motivation, all thanks to DCS and its amazing striders.

Races

Marathons (42.2kms)

There is something magical about running; after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then a bit further, it transcends the mind. A bit further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul.”

Kristin ArmstrongBicycler

Every time I run it's with the mindset that if I die at this race, it's OK."

Yuki KawauchiJapanese runner

I run because if I didn’t, I’d be sluggish and glum and spend too much time on the couch. I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary. I run…to savor the trip along the way. Life becomes a little more vibrant, a little more intense. I like that.”

Never underestimate the power that one good workout can have on your mind. Keeping the dream alive is half the battle.”

Kara GoucherAmerican Runner

The world is actually full of challenges and we need to challenge ourselves. I took a challenge to run that fast. It consumes a lot of energy especially mentally. But I took myself and accepted to be challenged and I challenged the time.”
