KL Night Towerthon 2011

Happy anniversary run for me, 26 minute ...teruk ek, the run up is fun but the journey way back ..ayo fening ...berebut nak masuk lif...perg...Tee Hee..

The journey up there was like it was back in 2009. It was my first competition..remembering the day, when u don't know what is coming and feeling intimidated by the fellow runners whom are stronger in physique as well as their attire. Aku ni siap pakai organiser tees lagi heheh back then,,,.

If i am not mistaken my time back then was 30 minutes, i had several pit stop for hydration and now i did not take a few ,I guess skipped two of it. Well tak boleh  bawak air but then semuanya bawak dengan selamba nyer ..and some of them even splash it all over their body...WT>>> hello, i am right behind you...well thanks to my previous experience and training  that gave me the edge to run in that claustrophobic situation.

This time , nobody puke at the staircase, but the journey up memang crowded, most of the time i'll be like sight seeing pace..suka suka panjat tangga but looking the other person beside me, OMG look like a dead zombie climbing up stair...kesian tul depa n i..kena paksa masuk ka?

Anyway overall it was a nice journey up but a terrible one down, mana tak nyer...there are only two lifts available for thousands of us, we can't took the stairs cause we will interfere with the ascending runners so tunggu lor...punya lah lama is like an hour of sardine canned environment up there...did not like it at all...


Last but not least it will be a start for this year...will see you guys again at some other selected races....

Happy Training To All

Dream and getting towards it

Everybody has at least a dream , right. Cause having one of these is like a surreal fantasy...weeehoo we are on dreamland where everything is like chocolate..yeah u wish shaqeee. Well mine is and sometimes but always do are... to be known and venturing all over the world. It has always been something i wanted to do when i was a kid...tu pasai aku minat Discovery channel kot. Anyway, it open up your mind to a different prospective of life.

Yeah, working towards your dream is not something these two hands could grab half empty. Sheer determination and sweat like running a marathon kind of thing and giving up is not an option. However, the drawbacks are its only a dream ...kind of lost looking for ways to get there...for awhile. I wish i could have a guidance like a forest ranger that will guide you every step of the way and catch and heal you if you fall.

Having a day job is essential or else macam mana nak makan lor. These day job , sometimes i wish, would be enough to finance my dream, well dream on Shaqee. I need to be in a business in order for me achieve my dream. Some people may find it rather a waste of time and money, ape punye mimpi ler hang ni?. Well it is a dream right , doing things that out of the ordinary or else it would just be day to day life ( in my context of Life). I'm constantly looking for ways to make me rich, these dream of mine is not cheap.

Skills that could help? mmmm..well i could bake. The thoughts of having a bakery had long overdue, pressured by peer ever since i did a my first cheesecake. What a disaster it was baking the first time around..hehehe.. Baking cake is not an easy job and it requires a lot of hardwork as well as money because a good and fresh raw material are often expensive. A good thing always cost more, i believe in giving the best, [i'm so sorry to someone here , i know i owe you one cake..currently the oven had been off for a few months ..sudah rosak maa...(got no balls to tell him..gulp) please feel free to SMS me back so that i could refund double the amount]...I am still raising fund to buy myself an oven and a good mixer to do all the things..wow those things are expensive.

A total of RM5000.00 plus a numerous amounts of baking classes needed. I am waiting a windfall this coming August or else i need to apply for a loan. My gearing is kind of high now..mmm and thinking of soft loan..mmm .. Plan Plan Plan ..asyik plan ajer ..when it comes to execution masih lagi cricket sounds coming up ..Come on Shaqee stop planning and start doing. It times to put the plan into action, well you need a plan right to guide you.

Hoping this would be the answer to my dream..thus making me rich to be with people all over the world. Day job funding baking equal to more money to be with my dream.

Just like a marathon runner beating the "wall" that what i should be doing..

Tata..

Surgery anniversary,,,,,

Yup, it has been a year , wow time do fly so fast when u patiently and anxiously awaiting to be back on the track again. Looking at the progress of others ,made u felt so left out, it all started as just an exercise routine later moves on a  fav free time thing...and ohh how i miss those days when u are burning rubber soles.

If i could see that it was coming , I could just gave myself a good rest or trained well. I guess it  is too late to do that. Looking back at the medals made your mind wonders ,What had happened to me? I guess this is what an athlete felt like when he is crippled by his own injuries. I had decided to faced it, the surgery, well it did not turn out to be as i wanted to be but i had no regrets over doing it. Yeah that is life, sometimes it had no fairness to some, as for me, it felt like the only joy had been taken away. It is hard to keep you head high up.

Looking back on the day , i decided to do it. The butterflies, shivers and the feeling of "what the hell had i done this time?" haha..funny funny ...a wimpy person like me had to go through. Wow what a feeling it was , awake while the Doctor is puncturing your knee and showing to you on screen what its look like..wow it was amazing. Something beyond my imagination.

It had been a year....hoping i could be as good as the others soon

Eating spree (kononye Demam)

From last Saturday, i was downed with a sore throat which eventually end up with a fever, well it turn out to be an eating frenzy ler pulak, I took off day(s) from exercising and relaxing..though while eating yer.... alasan Nutritfying myself so that i will be stronger to fight the fever. hahaha LOL

Exercise, to me, can sometimes goes overboard...heheh can't help it. My body tend to exhaust all of its nutrient and can sometimes put me at risk of contacting diseases. What a dumb thing to do, Shaqi, ...therefore berhenti sekejap, Haaaa..amik ko makan tak ingat....

How could u resist the temptation, BBQ night on Saturday, (chicken, udang sotong, hotdogs, spaghetti..to name a few lah..),Sunday (Chillies...full stop u know what i mean), Monday (Nasi Lemak spreee), Tuesday ( Nasi Kandar Sek. 13 PJ)..Today ape ler pulak ek...

Ayo...need to shrug off this habit fast or else gulp.....

I wanna Run Run Run....

Training after training...... had been for several months now after the surgery and yet my legs are not strong enough to carry me over the 10k marks pain free, sigh.....  Breathing techniques baru dah cube, 5 steps inhale then 5 steps exhale yet it felt so hard to achieve the targeted loops of the day. Worst still, the pain i had to endure on both thigh is like as if  i was having a cramp and my leg literally beg me to stop while the brain did not register that (hang ..kejap). Is it the knee or the thigh? I had to stop a couple of times to power walk kejap then continue on running. Sometimes, i did felt like giving up and forgoing my targeted loops for the day. Being a stubborn person (degil), I kept on going till i reached the targeted loops of the day regardless of the pain.

My staple road running nowadays ,would be a 3 loops around Bukit Jalil Park, ever since i moved into my new pad, it seems very convenient. 3 loops completed in "as fast" as i could manner. I did not had any time limit. Through Mapmyrun, the route of which I took is about 2.3 km. Therefore, i should be completing about 6.9 km. Too bad , the pain usually strikes in whenever i reached around 2.0 km, I felt so frustrated and at the same time puzzled, what I did wrong this time, I did stretched and quite well hydrated , api lagi yang tertinggal ler??? Sakit hati gak bila tgk uncle and aunties overtaking you, isk tak patut tak patut. This is my dilemma now? How could i be ready ,even 10k pun tak boleh lepas lagi ni....mmm ..berangan nak buat marathon tahun ini.

Sometimes i even felt some pain whenever i am ascending the stair, ayoo..macam orang tua lor. Takkan ler once broken consider sold out....waaaa :(   tidak...I had to find some solutions to this problem, A chiropractor...mm ..koyak ler poket...that will be my last resort...

I'm not gonna give up till I reach my first marathon mile. I will keep on training until my muscle and ligaments (hoping so badly) are ready for the challenge. I don't wanna give up running , please Allah let me run again, i want to be with running friends..please...i want to feel the air beneath my leg again , it felt so good....i wanna felt that way again...

May be i should enroll myself in running clinic...yukkkk pergi....I wish i could be as fortunate as the others...ada hikmah di sebalik setiap dugaan....praying hard that i could run my first marathon this year....

Happy Training To All...kalau jumpa si siput ni jangan ler asapkan dia yer...hehehe

Undecided, However, determine..Yichalal

That is the perfect phrase to describe what i am feeling now. Yup, Its already 2011 where my running plan should be in place. Owing the fact that i had suffered terribly in Teluk Intan, which is not even close to a marathon mileage. I had doubted my fitness level in competing for long distance endurance run.

Wow, it is that hard to be back in shape after surgery. Well, Yichalal, if u think u could then u can achieve. I dont regret having the surgery, ada hikmah disebalik setiap peristiwa.

I would not be entering any competition until i am fully ready. The journey is tough but i'm not quiting.

Happy Training To All :)
