My new begining

like the sun rise on the east, where it all begins..why am i writing this , its getting to the end of 2009, what a year it was for me..my workout session started as just tools for my weight loss ,now moves on to become a routine of race preparation...from road races towards trail run and soon to be adventure racing..wow...

if u see me back when i was in my teens and uni years, i was never close to this, i am always consume to the superficial world of beauty, perfections and grace...mmm, ever known as the soft guy ever since i was in school, well kind of used to it and afraid to try or not been given any chances or motivation to even try... living in my own nutshell. Not having many friends whom understands me...mmm anyway that was me before i could actually knows that they are many ways to endure a blissful life..

Started with KL Towerthon then to 10 km run at various places, wow running sure take me to places i never been to and best of all meeting new and fostering back the old friendship, plus trail running wow i never thought i could actually did it, my friend will sure be laughing at me if i told them that i ran up then downhill in less than half a day, heehe a person like me they will never thought it will be possible..nevertheless i do enjoy it very much and hopefully i get to know more people whom enjoy this as much as i did...

POR III : Gunung Nuang

Another early Sunday morning for me...this time around its Nuang...,we ran in group 5 but then one of us turns back making it grim duo (GD) versus macam bagus (MB) with ex macam bagus...heheh anyway, we GD arrived early at the place before 7.00 am, i got a quick bite at Pekan Bt 18, had 2 pieces of roti canai and my fav hot milo...

Rushing to the surau to perform my Subuh Gajah as what they said when u actually at the brink of the dawn, did some discussion and guessing whose going to joint us for the run today wiyh my fellow GD mates, Cheramiche, the organiser pun x de, salah gunung kot...then sampai ler Abg Syah..no cup cakes this time around ke?? but i had ice cream yum yum...

(Che and Abg Syah)

we reached the top at about 12.00 pm, my whole journey up and down the mountain took about 6 hrs 26 minutes, the pack of four was lead by Bro Ian, whose pics was not in my blogs, cause he is constant taking pictures while we were running can't wait to see his blogs...what pics he will uploads..

the hike up was fun and is always my favorite thing actually and i always hated downhills, kind of hurting to my knees and toes, so i was left behind, never mind i catch them up at their resting place, we did had our wonderful rest and picture taking along the hike and downhill, sempat jugak taking a quick dip at Kem Lolo stream, mmm very cooling and soothing

the verdict, it was a very fun run indeed, i love every seconds of it, running with my fav running buddies, i was never into trail running before and now im getting the hang of it, no more black toes for me...

In a nutshell, Calories burnt: 4014 , max. heart rate: 201 and avg heart rate: 132

House Buying

The moment i saw the house, my mind had been contemplating and plagued with issues of living by myself and finally owning a house.... is it possible?

and finally i signed the agreement to purchase the house, it is an apartment with 928 sq ft build up with gated 24 hr security and a pool..hehhe , well i was introduced by Bro Ian to the place and instant hooked..kot,,, entah ler...i guess its about time i bought one ok..while im still at prime years kan...

anyway i'm going to rent it out for a while...and giving some time for me to move in...itu ler

hopefully it will be a wonderful beginning for me...

4th Malaysian International Ekiden Run, Putrajaya 2009

The run was held in Putrajaya, the normal route like of Men's Heatlh run previously, but this time it was a relay team of five..my team was called Raja Kunyit with Loh as the team kapitan...it was made of my schoolmates and other friend of friend of mine...wow never new running could actually brought us together kan..what a small world kan....

i did not had the best this time, even though ada training ckit before that, well it could be the lack of sleep a day before...i'm the first runner , each runner need to run approx. 3 km, i did quite bad 14 minutes, max hr : 222 and average: 188 wow, very high kan, its maybe the nervousness or i need to rectify my breathing techniques...

the best part of all , we really enjoy so much the run, cause its a team effort and i got to run with my favorite running buddies and someone i longing to.... my route was ok..the normal route with steep slope at the end of my part behind the PICC, luckily it was not at the top , a quater to the top...i met Loh and passed the sash to him...

they are going for Borneo marathon next week...perrr seronok tur... dah lame aku x cuti gitus kan...

anyway next week ade..River clean up at Sungai Congkak and POR at Nuang (to the top)..mmm do check it out at corporateathletes.com.my

Post Raya Training- part 2

yup my first trail run after quite sometimes, resting from the wilderness, well dah ler tur after a big break in the fasting month, i like the trail, even though nuang is very popular among the city dweller, yup cause it is located just nearby...

i just started my swimming class with Bro ian of Corporate Athletes, ayoo,, i never thought that it will be so tough yar..u got to get it right the first time...that's the way it suppose to be, may be swimming is not my thing, is it? There goes my dream to enter triathtlon..mm a still farway dream..

mm got to train hard..but training ground lak limited, ye lar, looking for the suitable pool with the minimum depth is quite difficult but luckily bro Ian place is very ideal but...i got to pass through a gruesome massive traffic jam before reaching there..haiyo tense pulak......pastu lak asyik dok x pass jer one breath...

The trail run at nuang was great wake up call for me ler...to be better prepared for my genting trail..Cheramiche is ever high spirited for it, i should jive in also...itu ler... i enjoyed it so much meeting new runner pals...and learning new tricks of running at the same time...wow there had progress so much..felt intimidated and timid at times when they are talking about marathon, swimming trail and such...mm may be is it time for me to move up.......one day i would...

Back to the trail run, my time was about 2 hours to Camp Lolo and back, with average heart rate 132 and max about 168 and calories burnt about 1000 plus wound on my left hand..perr...sesat katanyer..

well....looking forward for another run with u ollzzz... thanx
