A few words about myself:
All through my affiliation to sports had been as a spectator,
Until 2011 when I made up my mind that I wanted to quit smoking (after many previous attempts), I was recommended to start exercising regularly, and the obvious recommendation was to run as good cardio, and I suppose that was the best combination I could choose.
I did start running regularly, when a colleague and a friend Shafi Kana, would raise the bar from a 5K to a 10K, and that’s when a Shafi got me to register for the best half marathon in the world.
Hence the journey as a runner had started, and there has been no looking back.
running has introduced me to this community that is now a part of life, The Friday morning runs are a ritual which cannot be missed, even if it means that I have gone to sleep way past midnight.
I have not been a major traveler but have been able to do races in and around Dubai, Marathons, half-marathons, and also an Ultra.
