Terry Fox Run 2009

Event: Terry Fox Run 2009
Distance: 5km (advance route) and 3.5km (family route)
Venue: Lake Garden, KL
Date: 1 November 2009 (Sunday)

Again, this year we participated in Terry Fox Run. When I say 'we', I meant me plus the BNM Volunteer Team as well as my bootak. As this is for charity i.e cancer awareness and research, so no frills. Registration is not needed, just buy the T Shirt and then run

This year, BNM Volunteer sent 107 participations (which I believe 70% of this figure turned up on the event day). Impressive I must say compared to last year where only around 15 participants from BNM

So the day started with us walked from Padang Merbuk to the Lake Garden. You can already see sea of 'black' shirt walked to the starting point. Im not too sure why this year they went to the dark side. Instead of white shirts last year which I think is more suitable for Malaysia weather.
Okie...
Weather
Yah...
That one is another story.

So after BNM team flocked, we did little bit of stretching.

After stretching bit, of course some cam-whoring moment.
So we decided to take a LOMPAT picture
Hahahahaha

Fizri as the photographer counted 1,2......

Ouh ya, I forgot to talk about the run itself.

They should have start earlier. PERIOD! Starting a run at 9.00am was not a smart move I must say. I was really, really HOT. When I complained about how hot it was means it was really hot. (cause usually I couldnt be bothered).

The race started with 2 flag off. One for those on wheels and second bit for normal runner or I must normal participants. The first 1KM everyone walked, walked and walked (because there was no space to run anyway). Organizer might wanna consider doing it on normal road like how Siemens Run do it every year.

we took the advanced route. the advanced part was the only part that I like because we ran along the road to Carcosa. It was not as hot as the route at Lake Garden. Right after the run ended, I feel like I had just taken a crazy roller coaster ride. Pening.............

All in all it was fun! fun and fun

Penang Bridge International Marathon: Training, Training

So with 24 days to go for PBIM,
and with some good news received yesterday:

Starting time: 0330 am (Men) 0345 am (Women)

Reporting Time: 0230 am (Men) 0245 (Women)

Finishing Time: 3.5 hours (Three and a half hours)

I think we will be just fine. Insyallah... 3.5hrs will be more than enough for us to finish the distance. Provided no injury and stuff. but i have this one problem now where my endurance level has deter. I can only last 30mins run recently...it used to be at least 50mins hokay...haih...i have got to do something about it...thats why I plan to use this. Not sure whether this will work or not but at least I have got to give it a try.

Mizuno Wave Run 2009 @ Serdang

Race: Mizuno Wave Run 2009
Distance: 11km
Venue: UPM, Serdang
Organizer: Pacesetter Athletics Club Malaysia

Race begin at 7.30am. We reached UPM Gate 8 sharp at 7.00am, there queue for parking was already there. Parked along the road and slow jog to the stadium...damn i had a stomach ache. so we ran to the nearest toilet and when i saw the queue "ahh, forget it la"
then one auntie told me "eh got the mobile toilet, we go there la ha...faster a bit" then i quickly became her bff and went to the field where they located all the mobile.luckily it was clean

but my stomach was not comfortable still. haih. guess i had to run with it. so we went to the starting point, get ready to start the race. did little bit of stretching. then 5 mins later Boom we were released to start the race

the first 2km was easy I must say. Not really hilly, the weather was on our side and it was smooth. We continued running but as we reached nearly 3.5km, bootak complained that he had 'to go for number 2'

aiyaaaaaa....

so we scout around for toilet. found one and he ran his lung out towards it while I was left alone pretending to tie my shoe lace and stuff. hahahah...it was funny when one uncle shout at me
"eyyyy....lari la..." with me replying "tunggu orang la"....then everybody laughed at me. shiessshhh sabar je

12 mins later he showed up and we tried our level best to catch up.

but i guess im not up for it as the final 2km i was dragged...like really dragged to finish it. coupled with the blister that i had. haih its not funny at all. i dont know what i have to do to avoid blister. really..i used anti blister socks before, not really work...bootak mentioned that it might be because of the way i run...
"middle foot awak...middle foot running"
haiya dah cubalah but kenot

anyway, we finished with an embarassing timing of 88mins. so minus 12mins, we clocked in 76mins translated to 1hr 16mins (again failed to do sub 1hr) and 6.9m pacing per KM
Hurm, not so good but terima je la
But little bit sad cause we didnt get the medal.

So this is us...



I hope your gag reflection wont turn on when u see the picture of us running and holding hand
Hahahaah
we need to get the cameraman feel excited to capture us

Running, Running....

Kak Haza,

I may just be one of your reader but to me the real reason why I like to read your blog because I really adore how much positive ion you have in you. I do not adore you because of your speed, how fast you can run but its more on how much you can really bring up normal people like me to love running. I would love to run with you (no worries, Im sure you will easily beat the snail in me :)...perhaps one day you will love running again...

I still do love running. I wouldn't have felt this horrible if I weren't really attached to it. :) Running calms me, I take comfort in the pain it brings. it's just right now it's so hard to start. Even in the morning.

Tey, if it weren't for you, I would never had started. You gave me the idea lah.

And deep inside I really hope to be back. I hope this is temporary.

Mc, you can run wit me in Penang? I reg for 21k.

Yeay...me and bootak will run with Running Mom for PBIM 2009.

and ouh ya, i received reply from Syah a.k.a Kaki Runner. Panjang lebar penjelasan beliau mengenai latihan untuk PBIM. Lil bit scared I must say but whatever it is I will try my level best to fit in. Thanks so much Syah for helping out.

Okay...Mizuno Wave Run this Sunday. I hope I can finish strong. Ewahhhhhh

My Wish (for) No More Hiding

I wish I can breath easily and tell the whole world about it

Miza's Happy Moment

When I was in uni, I remembered the happiest moment would be during our convocation.
5 years in agony...
The 'hat throwing moment' was priceless.


* hat throwing moment




So when Miza text-ed me inviting to attend her MICPA graduation
I say "wah..exciting"
I got to feel the excitement again
So I went with booTak...
Together we went to UiTM Shah Alam...

This is Amiza a.k.a Miza Kru (siapalah yang still suka KRU lagi di zaman zaman skrg ni)
The extremely brilliant girl that is very down to earth
I dont know how she did it
Study and working at the same time
Clap...clap...clap kepada miza





i am extremely proud of her achievement. Im telling you to get a CA (Chartered Accountant), its not easy. Time, energy and almost everything you have to sacrifice to get it. Haih, I wonder whether I can do that.

While taking her picture, we came with this crazy idea of me wearing her robe pulak. Knowing I will never get the chance to wear UiTM robe, so I bought the idea. Hehehehe



* me getting ready



* lompatan


* demi lompatan


* bootak bersama Miza



* all of us....

Congratulations Miza...
I am so, very, extremely proud of you
:)
