Why do you run? Why do you want to join TEAM QUARO? Your running journey. Easy to write, huh? Well, yes and no, but certainly yes, lol.
It took me a while to write what I wanted to say, what pictures and videos to chose and showcase. I was worried about being cliché or not being worthy enough to even warrant a post to try to gain a spot on your team. But that would have been the old me before this lovely running journey.
Life itself has peaks and valleys, and my overall life has been just that—ups and downs. My reason for why I run is simple to write but harder to summarize. It has and continues to save my life. Running has always been a part of my life, whether it was just running for cardio back in my teens to now, in my thirties, where I'm running actual races and being active in the run community to the best of my abilities. So I hope, with what you read and have seen via pictures and videos, that it shows how much happiness and help running has brought into my life. I wouldn't be here without it.
I'll be running the 2026 New York City Marathon this year, my third Marathon overall but my first major Marathon ever, and to make things better, I will be doing it on my 32nd Birthday. How cool is that?
So, here I am asking TEAM QUARO for an opportunity of a lifetime. I wanted to earn all my 6 stars in a specific order and in a calendar year. Earning my first with the NYCM is step 1. Step 2, I want it to be the Tokyo Marathon. I always wanted to go and visit, to explore the wonderful culture of Japan. And if I can manage to gain entry to the other majors somehow (which I have no idea how I will pull that off, because financially it's just not in the cards ATM), that would be fantastic to complete the 6-star Journey. Thank you for the opportunity to even ask to join TEAM QUARO. I hope this journey can continue with you all.
