Salam
Syawal to all.
I'm
such a lazy ass/donkey bum, update blog whenever I have the mood, which
I rarely had hahaha.
We
are now at the end of Syawal.
How's
your puasa ganti enam?
Don't
ask me but ask your iman instead LoL.
I'm
sure that all of us has attended an open house or two (or more obviously) and had
been force feeding pigging out like there's no tomorrow.
Me
too - feeling guilty T_T
I
somehow believe that they’ll make a good foie
gras out of us LoL.
Eat
all you can but please beware that this is not good for you in a long run (pun
intended).
Or
else you're going to pay the consequences (whip sound).
I
mean the medical bills hehee.
Don’t
forget to run, to burn calories from all those lemang, ketupat, rendang, sate,
biskut raya etc.
A
must.
I’m
going to summarise my running activities as a reminder to myself to keep
moving.
Let’s
move it, move it, I like to move it (King Julien - Madagascar).

HQ contingent won overall.
020613 UKM Victory Run II, 15km

180813 Viper Challenge
Late
registration, 1st time participating in running+obstacles, diirrrtyyyy,
had a great time with teammates
010913 River Jungle Marathon, FM
This
was part of Marathon Combo Series, non-competitive event, scenic yet hilly
routes, 4:06:11, PB (faster by 38mins, I’m grinning ear to ear). Almost sub 4hr
but I guess sub4 is asking too much and as well as pushing my luck. With not
enough training, resting too long (20days! Due to puasa, raya & lil bit of
drama), I’m more than content with this timing.
Most
of the said events were my 1st time. 1st time as
volunteer, 1st time as zombie, 1st time as pacer, 1st
trail, 1st relay, 1st running+obstacles, 1st
towerthon, 1st back2back etc. My concept for this year is trying
something different (aka buang tebiat hehehe). Reminded me to Linkin Park’s
Breaking the Habit song. Life is more fun this way. Trying to escape from same
old same old routine same old (yeah I wrote that 3X), the no-brainer run hihi. Playing
too safe is boring and so yesterday.
I
consider myself lucky as I managed to PB in most of the running events. In my
opinion, PB is a must an ideal achievement after putting hours of
training, with sweats & tears along the way (drama much!). Not everyone is
podium worthy but everyone is entitled to their own PB. I might as well write a
new blog entry on PB ;) PB, the glory,
the perception & the bitter truth. Tajuk beria gile LoL.
Upcoming (registered):
070913 Men's Health & Shape Night
Run, 12km

must participate! Kick-started my running activities after a long hiatus with
this run back in 2010. Generous goodies. 4th time.

150913 Great Eastern Live Great Run,
12km
I
should say thanks to K Lina hehe. Sebabnya adalah rahsia. My 2nd
time. 1st time was last year. Actually the name of this blog (No

lots of drama hahaha. Will do the storytelling soon (depends on my mood
hahaha).
220913 Reebok One Challenge,18.95km+obstacles
Signed
up at the 11th hour. Reluctant because this event a week before
SCKLM. Registered because the obstacles are doable except for one or two. Medal
is nice too (segitiga Bermuda) hehehe. Finisher tee not that attractive/loud.
290913 Standard Chartered KL Marathon @

Will
be my 1st FM in KL. FM after RJM. Participated 1st time
last year but in HM category. Look forward to PB-ing this event. Targeting
sub4hr. Wish me luck.
191013 BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon @
Putrajaya, FM
Will
be my 3rd time. 1st time in 2011 (10k) & 2nd

No marathon is easy. We successfully voted the pink fuschia for FM finisher tee
;)

171113 Allianz Penang Bridge
International Marathon @ Pulau Pinang
Aniversary
FM! Did my full marathon virgin here last year. Will come back stronger &
faster.
I’ve
signed up quite a number of running events. It seems like I’ll be busy almost
every weekend. Well, this is our my passion after all. Obviously I’ll
try to PB in all events. No surprise right. If you happen to spot me in any
event, please say hi. Can take photo also. Perasan artis plak hehehe. Retis
much. I love making new friends especially runners. We share similar passion,
endure similar challenge & in the same crowd. No need lah to be cocky,
perasan, belittling people even if you are a podium winner. Lagilah skadar PB
bukan podium LoL.
There’s
a significant increase in running events in Malaysia nowadays. Almost every
weekend got event, not to mention few events in a same day. This trend is a
good sign as many Malaysians have opted running as part of their lifestyle.
Runners also can choose whatever events that suits them well. Spoil ourselves with
choices. However, the rising price of running event fee is a main concern to
many, including myself. We are afraid that the organizer may take this opportunity
to make profit instead. Few events were badly organized. Affected us all
especially the safety part.
Wei,
nape serius ayat kat atas tu hahaha. Why so serious (Joker – The Dark Knight)?
Like seriously.
Thanks
for reading.
I’ll
try my best to post new entry soon.
No
drama drama just run. Like today. Like now. Ciao.
