FAR Ubud Run Recap – Wednesday, August 20

Week 6 of FAR Ubud Run Club 🌿💛

Our biggest turnout yet 🙌 15 runners joined this morning’s Sunrise Run in Ubud! Despite the rains last night, the sky cleared up and we were greeted with a beautiful sunrise 🌞✨

Some were tapering for Maybank Marathon Bali 2025, others just out for a social 5K run, all ending with good chats and coffee at @ubudcoffeeroastery ☕

Big thanks to everyone who came through: locals, expats, digital nomads, and travelers all making this Ubud running community grow week by week 🙌

🚨 Reminder: Our Pre-Race Shakeout Run is happening this Saturday: created for marathon racers but open to all. The perfect way to loosen up, share pre-race buzz, and send good energy before Sunday’s race. Details drop later today.

Google Photos reminded us of this moment—exactly five years ago.

(Slide 1)
We were living on the 4th floor of our after-school program building.
It wasn’t fancy, but it was ours—filled with chaos, laughter, and daydreams.
We’d pretend we were already in Bali. We set up a rooftop “spa” with gamelan music and the sound of running water from the tap.

(Slide 2)
That morning looked like any other.
Clover and Aubrey were still asleep.
But something felt different.
I turned to Lucy and said, “I want to wake up in Bali tomorrow.”
She said, “Okay.”

(Slide 3)
Seven hours later, we were checking the tires and tuning up our old grey Grand Livina.
No bookings. No plan. Just a car full of kids, some snacks, and a wild idea.

(Slide 4)
We hit the road. I don’t think either of us knew exactly what we were doing.
The only thing in our mind was: get to that strait and trust that things would work themselves out.

(Slide 5)
We slept in the car at a rest stop that night.
Not quite Bali yet—but we were already far from everything we knew.
Woke up with stiff necks, groggy kids, and full hearts.

(Slide 6)
Crossing the ocean felt like a symbol.
We didn’t have a clear destination—just this deep pull from the island.
We had no clue what would happen next, but Bali was calling.

(Slide 7)
We arrived with no hotel booked.
We drove around in the dark, tired and unsure, facing closed doors.
At midnight, just when we were about to give up, we found a room.
It felt like a tiny miracle.

(Slide 8)
Not long after, we moved into a little villa surrounded by paddy fields.
We carried our stuff, kids, and a lot of hope.
It wasn’t perfect. But we were where we're supposed to be.

People called us crazy.
Maybe we were.

But life can only be understood backwards, and lived forwards.
What we have now is better than anything we could’ve ever planned.

Thank you, universe.
Thank you, five minutes of courage.
Thank you, Bali.
And thank you, dear grey Grand Livina—you’re no longer with us, but you carried us to a new life.

If you're holding onto a dream that scares you... maybe you're closer than you think.
Sometimes all it takes is one bold moment.
Just enough courage to take the first step.

The Ogoh-Ogoh Festival. Ubud - 2023.

I had Megalophobia, an intense and irrational fear of large humanoid statue. I remember vividly 2 experiences traveling to the large sleeping buddha in Thailand, and tallest Guanyin in Taiwan, when a strange blend of panic-like attack and profound awe happened all at once.

This time around, surrounded by these towering, grotesque giants I found myself both awestruck and energized by the intricate craftsmanship that had gone into constructing these colossal structures. The idea that the meticulously crafted Ogoh-Ogoh burn immediately after the parade, illustrated the Balinese cultural value of detachment and impermanence.

As part of the festival tradition, the Balinese typically perform Mecaru in main intersections, a ceremony that aims to nurture and balance the relationship between humans and the natural environment. The festival also fostered harmony between the generous host and curious visitors, uniting them in a shared experience.

Splendid Soccer Saturday⚽

RAPTORS Vs. BULLDOG
4:1

Clover & her beloved Raptors were initially intimidated by the size of their opponents.
The Bulldogs are both bigger and older (14+ yo.), while most of the Raptors haven't even turned 13 yet.

I'm so happy to see parents, siblings, coach, boy Raptors coming out to support their girls. Beyond happy to see Clover scored the second goal and produced 2 assists. Such a great feeling to be part of a supportive community.

Slide #3 @sophie.heima defended her "Queen of the Tire" title against 2 boys. While Aubrey work his butt off flipping tire up the hill.

Slide #4 @cloverkhayalan celebrating the win by getting rolled in tire.

Slide #5 the team chilling in the bangin' beach club

We bravely entered the tiny alley branching out from the busiest street of Ubud. Where did this path lead us?
