Before I went to take running seriously, my only physical activity is Basketball. Since the year 2000, I have hyper extended my left knee several times (about 8), the last was in an official game...

Last Year's National Geographic Earth Day Run 2012 was interestingly full of lessons as an athlete and as a person...

Yes, you are those things: strong and independent, and they describe you perfectly. No ifs or buts.

Growing up with a very heavy body weight was always a problem. I used to receive a memo from our school clinic every year that I was overweight. The heaviest that I got was about 186lbs and I was just in high school back then around 14-15 years old.
