How does a sleepytrigirl who has been a night owl most of her adult life become a triathlete or a morning athlete -runner, cyclist whatever?
It was a process. It started with the death of my son… Running consoled me..

Becoming a Runner
Posted on June 28th, 2007 by ani(Last modified: March 21st, 2008 at 9:08 pm)
(written for my column, AMPED, in ACTION & FITNESS magazine)
“Excuse me, I couldn’t help but wonder—are you a runner?”
If I were standing in line for groceries or at the atm today and someone asked me that question, I would be totally tickled with the flattery and would be floating on cloud nine for the next couple hours. Unfortunately and to my complete and utter devastation, queries like that are seldom directed towards me.

Pia… a runner by heart!!!

“I am first and foremost a runner”
Like most sports enthusiasts, Pia started running to shed off the pounds she gained after staying in the United States for a couple of years after graduation. To compensate for the training time taken from volleyball, Pia ran, joined fun runs and eventually, her first marathon when she was 21.
“After my first marathon, I told myself, never again!” she chuckles as she vividly recalls her first foray into long-distance running.

Inspiration
A son asked his father, ‘Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?’ The father who, despite having a heart condition, says’ Yes’. They went on to complete the marathon together.
Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying ‘Yes’ to his son’s request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, ‘Dad, let’s join the Ironman together.’
To which, his father said ‘Yes’ to.
For those who didn’t know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.
Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this with music.
