My Running Journey
Every day I run one more step — not to get there fast, but to keep going. It's the same thing I love teaching kids: it's not about how fast you run, it's about not stopping.
The First Step
Every long road starts somewhere. Right now, I'm building the base — running consistently, showing up even when it's hard. Day one energy, every time.
First Marathon
Crossing the finish line of my first marathon — the moment everything becomes real. Not the fastest. Not the easiest. Just proving I can commit to something big and see it through.
Racing for the Podium
Cairo Marathon. Egypt Marathon. Competing, not just finishing. Every race a lesson. Every placement a new starting point.
The Long Roads
The dream has three stages, each longer than the last. First: Cairo to Alexandria. Then: Cairo to Aswan. And finally, the longest and hardest: Aswan to Alexandria. Not races. Not events. Just a human, a road, and a goal that most people would call crazy. That's the plan. 🌱
Becoming a kids' fitness & happiness coach
While I run, I'm also working toward a second goal: becoming a kids' fitness, happiness, and joy coach, for ages 5 to 10. It's not just exercise — I want every child to laugh while they move, and to love sport without ever being forced into it.

What drives it
Show up anyway. That's the whole secret. Some days are hard. Run anyway. Some days are harder. Run anyway.
Everything is new. Everything is possible. I'm at the start of most things — and I wouldn't have it any other way. Day 1 is always available.
A slow run still beats no run. A bug found late is still a bug found. Keep moving. Keep showing up. The rest follows.
