It is Sunday August 19th 2012. This is my first blog entry writing about my goal to run from Bali to Jakarta. The run will cover a distance of aver 1200 km and I hope to complete the journey in 22 days.
I plan to complete the run in June of 2014. In 22 months from now I hope to be pushing my body in a run like I have never pushed before. I hope to achieve something that very few humans get to achieve and I hope to inspire others to set and reach their own goals.
I competed in an ultra marathon in 2007, the inaugural Sundown Ultra Marathon, 100km race in Singapore. After that run I thought about the Bali run but never acted on it. I never shared that dream with anyone or did anything to put the dream into motion. Then in 2011 Scott Thompson, a Scottish friend of mine, completed the Bali to Jakarta run in 25 days. I was inspired by his achievements and he has motivated me to see if I can do it too.
