Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next two years I'd like to qualify
for the 'Boston Marathon'.

I have a crazy dream to qualify for
the olympic games... but understand it's
very hard to do... so am not sure
if it's attainable... or what it would
take... I know there are a lot of fast
runners out there:D

In the next 6 months I'd like to try and
beat my personal best of: 3:34:56 in the
marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Qualifying for the Olympic Games. Without a doubt would

be a lifetime achievement.

Personal:

I'm a 30yr old single Christian Kiwi (New Zealander).
I'm passionate about my country, running, and
my career as a 3D Animator.

UP is awesome!!! One of the best movies to date in my opinion.

So, you are way cool! You live in Singapore and run in that heat? WOW! And you are an animator? Even cooler. So, why Singapore, just out of curiosity?

Best of luck with your goals, I hope you beat that marathon PR soon!

Thanks Kelli,

Yeah, I watched 'UP' just the other night... I really like it... thought it was better than 'Wall E'...from last year.

Well, I moved here because of Lucasfilm...they started up a studio here not long ago and were looking for animator's... so I got the job.

Thanks, am putting in a lot of running right now... gonna give it a shot in December... cheers, and thanks for stopping by.

It seems like a strange place for a film studio, but what do I know??? I have never left the west coast of the US!!!

What a super cool job. My 10 year old wants to be an animator. he is an amazing artist, so who knows.

Good luck with your training and that December marathon. Where is it?

Hey Kelli,

The marathon is in Singapore... it's the largest marathon event for the country... it also stands as an international marathon... we get a few Keny'ns through here and they usually take out the event.

Your right. It's unusal to have an animation studio here. The government it trying to get the industry up and running here... so the government has given Lucasfilm tax cuts to come here... it's also Lucasfilm's first overseas studio.

Well it's a growing industry, so where currently in the golden years of animation... and America is a good place to be if you wont a job as an animator... A little tip, try to get animation experience in the intustry and work up from there... Also, check out: 'AnimationMentor.com'... They have mentor's from all the best studios teaching there(it's an online school) You have to be at least 18yrs old before joining, though... At the end of the day it's all about your animation demo reel... age is no barrier... so if he's good, he'll get a job... Also, lastly check out: http://www.11secondclub.com/ a good place to practice animating... I highly recommend it!

All the best,

Aaron from SG

What is the weather like there in December? Hopefully perfect running weather. The Kenyans are cool to watch, especially their super slow motion warm ups. Try to get a glimpse of them if you can!!! Good luck, can not wait to hear about it.

Thanks for the animation tips. I have copied the websites down for my son and when i get off the computer I will let him take a look. He is really into it right now, so whatever motivates him to behave and stay out of trouble is a plus!

Thanks Kelli,

Yeah, a lot of fast runners were there. It was an international event, so fast runners from the UK, Japan, Indian, and event USA. I did my best and finished with a time of 1:33:07... 2 minutes outside my PB so was happy with the result.

Your welcome... that's great. I found those sites really helped me with my animation career. I even used some of the clips I animated for the 11secondclub to get my job here.

:) well it's great he's interested in animation.
