About me

"Next year, I will run" I said jokingly. My friends laughed and said "Forget it, look at yourself". They were in a way right. I was overweight and didn't do any sport. I even had an experience of 17 years of active smoking. This incident took place in April 2012 at the sidelines of Zurich Marathon. Standing there that day, I saw men and women with diverse age and sizes pulling and carrying themselves to cross the finish line. "Why are they doing this" I asked myself. I didn't get an answer but something happened after that day. I got my running shoes and tried to run. It was hard. Very hard. The first run was and will always remain the most difficult race of my life. It was a race against my own self. After running few steps, I stopped.
But I did not quit.
Now I run regularly. I love to run.
Running opened many new doors. The door for public speaking and as a lifestyle coach.
Somehow something was missing in my very comfortable life. Something that could make my heart sing. Running helped me to identify it.
I found Connecting with others makes my heart sing. Now, I do this by motivating people to lead a healthy lifestyle, as a public speaker and by contributing in social projects.
