Fasting & Eid ul-Fitr

Hmmm ....... during fasting month did not do anything much actually only manage to go to the gym twice during that month and then came Eid ul-fitr aka Hari Raya was so much worst. Ate everything twice and overindulgence during Raya open houses, Fuad's wedding and office pot-lucks I am lucky did not gain anything fuhhhh .... 

Anyway in September I have 2 runs , Siemen and Adidas. However I will not be attending the Adidas because of family obligations (hubby's cousin is getting married). I don't really feel like going for the Siemen run, my running bug is still on leave balik kampung for raya I guess. Tina register as well and is looking forward to run this weekend so I guess I have to go and be supportive . Which is actually a good thing because of the run   I am back to the gym not 4-5 times a week as I used to but better then none. 

Next week I promise my trainer I will kick-start my training with her; this remain to be seen as I change office and is now in Mines. The Wangsa Walk gym in Keramat is a long distance to travel even if it is only for 3x a week.

More Races Ran in July - BHP Orange Man 11k & Shape Night Run 12k

First Race - BHP Orange Man Run
Distance - 11k
Location - D'Curve Mutiara Damansara
Running Budies - Tina Zahani (aka Fudgy Fingers)

This race was organise by BHP where Arif work so he assisted us the registering as there was no online registering available ..... (which I think is weird). The best part is the registration fees is only RM5 ...yups very cheap considering other event usually will charge RM40 - 50 per race.

Anyway, July have been a busy month for me with my trip to Redang and taking charge of my company Teambuilding trip I did not have much time to train or go to the gym.  But I figure, what the hell I have run 10k before so this should not be a problem.

So on the day I pick up Tina and we manage to just in time, Arif had to meet us at the starting line to pass us our BIB which he help collected. There was no t-shirt provide for the run ..hey RM5 where can get  t-shirt ...:-)

Anyway because of lack of preparation, the race was hard on me and knowing my Damasara roads I was thinking "man this is far" and "jauh nyer lagi.... die lah like this"   But I finish the race. For RM5 there was lots of food. Arif was in charge of the Nasi Lemak counter where we got extra nasi ... thanks Arif

First Race - Shape Men-Health Night Race
Distance - 12k
Location - Putrajaya
Running Budies - Tina Zahani, Adzman (Zcat) and Ct Roziyana (Yana)

This race was really hard ... why ? Mainly because I did not prepare anything. I have been busy at work, just came back from company Team Building as participant and organizer which is very tiresome.

Anyway I ran and finish but my timing was bad I finish  1hr 40min so the guys that did 5k had to wait 1hr for me..... sad ....


Picture .... will upload later ... I only have pictures for the Shape Run, Tina the fudgy fingers cuold not manage to take any pictures for me at for the BHP. Her fingers were to fudgy for my phone camera ... Hampeh ... hampeh .....

Done Standard Chartered KL Run & NTV7 Feel Good Run

There is a lot of run in the month of July. I guess everyone wanted to organise their run/ race before the month of Ramadhan which is in August. Hmmmm did they forget there is October, November or December ?
Anyway as the title stated, I done The Standard Chartered KL Marathon a 10k and NTV7 Feel Good Run (running with the stars) a 7k.
On both occasion my running Buddies are Tina and Adzman. Tina ran/ walk the same distance as me and as for Adzman he did 5k for the SCKL and 3k for the NTV7.
Nothing much to say, a run is a run.

Time: 7.00pm
Support System aka Walking Buddies:
1) Tina Zahani Zainuddin
2) Kak Muzi
3) Adzman
Distance: 7km

We arrive on time, found a cool parking sport very near to the starting line .. yup it was an illegal parking spot but as long as it is not my car I am totally ok with it ..... (sorry Tina). Lepak around the starting line; took some pictures one of them with Fred Flintstone and friends.

Nothing special about the walk. All of us finished the walk, collected our goody bag and went to Park Village for breakfast; where I had Lontong Kerang...yummmyyyy

New Year Resolution Update - 1 Race Per Month

For 2011 one of my new year resolution was 1 race per month. However, in February I realise that this can't be done because I can't control the race schedules so I decided it is ok a long as I participated in 12 races this year. Therefore on average I still meet my new year resolution .... yeay me......

This is my race schedule thus far
