 Hola. Hello to all the top runners, fitness addicts and wannabes. My name is Mubani Mashaar. I'm from South Africa. I'm currently studying MSC in Water Management and Governance at the well-renowned IHE DERVED. Coronavirus has brought fear and challenges to people's lives. Disruptions to their daily activities. When corona struck, thanks God I was in the Netherlands. The rules of the Netherlands never impacted on individual outdoor activities. We were always allowed to go and exercise. Indeed, I capitalized on this immediately. I was already a dedicated runner. Corona found me ready. It was also a blessing to my running. This is because the streets cleared up. All the bikes that I used to navigate with were packed. I had all the roads to myself. I explored most of the nature gardens and forests. In DERV, Rotterdam, Deha, you named them. The longest run was 60 km to Noorduin. Running teaches me to be a master of self motivation, to be some proof to negativity. Running with a team is a medicine to procrastination. You don't want to disappoint your fellow runners. You will need them to propel you to heights where you can take off on your own. Long runs help me with mental and physical resilience. All these help me to become and ready to face the new studying environment. I am glad to say my studies are still on track. I glamatize quickly to online learning and I am doing very well. Keep moving. Never stop running. With or without anyone. You will give yourself a better chance of success.
