When did I start running?

When did I started running? It was for Bay to Brakers in May 2008 so I started probably a few months before that. I clearly remember the morning runs along the beach in Rio de Janerito in Feb, 2008 asking myself, "Can I run 10k? No way. I need to tell Sumiko san I cannot join her in the race when I get back." However running on the beach road was fantastic. Feeling sea breeze, looking at people on the beach, enjoying blue water. It was my everyday excercise during my stay in Rio. The famous tile work (see the pic below) was imprinted on my eyes after the runs. Is still in my heart.
