imaRunner: Yong Yuen Cheng

The greatest distance to cover in any race is the distance between your ears. Strength does not come from physical capability, but from an indomitable will.
Quote by Yong Yuen Cheng, 218 km Run Round Singapore top finisher in 31:28:51
Amazing achievement by one of our own - a 38 year old physics HCI teacher. 
To read of his past as a sickly child and determination to succeed in road racing as a 
teenager is inspiring. 
See "It's crazy only if you're unprepared" by Jeanette Wang in ST April 5, 2010.
Yong's parting words "I feel lucky that this has become a good lesson for my students."
