10th of MAY 2009

So here we are in May and I've just ran my first 10KM event. How sad is that? I couldn't make it for Larian Seri Amal back in March. I couldn't run for BHP run back in April because I had to go to church for Easter. Kinda tough when you have other commitments ain't it? Nevertheless, we are all running :)

To kick things off, Larian Bomba was held earlier this morning at Dataran Merdeka. I woke up at 5.00am...snoozed my phone once.....toss and turn as usual. By the way, I was at my gf's place. So I finally dragged my ass out of bed, showered and changed into my running gear. Went downstairs to have something; a piece of bread I bought from Breadtalk @ Mid Valley and a cup of coffee. I tried to drink ALOT of water before the run because I attended some Standard Chartered Running Clinic previously and the expert said to drink lots of water prior to the run to hydrate ourselves properly. With that all done, I started my slow drive to Dataran Merdeka.

w00t? Good morning peeps!

Of course, traffic was extremely smooth. Doh, its 5.54am. I manage to park EXTREMELY NEAR Dataran Merdeka. I parked near a church called St. Mary's church, which was practically beside Dataran Merdeka. It was way too early ...so I walked around to snap some pictures

Dataran Merdeka


The starting line. W00t Look at the skid marks. Fucking rempits!


Ding Dong Deng Dong


Reporting area for the 10KM category


Da Faiyer twuak.


Nice bikes.


They were actually serving Nasi Lemak for their staffs.

Oh and before I forget, Let me say thanks again to MiloAisChaser for helping me to register for the run. Now that I remember, I forgot to pay MiloAisChaser the registration fee. OMG SORRY!. OK next to the report. Once again, I'm not that good with reports and location so bear with me.

I waited for MiloAisChaser near the Clock tower area. Spotted her running from the other side so I ran to meet up with her as well...she was holding my bib mah :) Manage to quickly put on the bib for the front and back of the vest and it was close to 7.20am. Phew! We reported ourselves to the 10KM category "cage" and waited for the run to start. The clock strike 7.30am and BOOM! off we went.

Damn, it was a slow start as usual as there were "people mountain, people sea" - Ren San Ren Hai?. I started with a slow run to further warm up my body(I already warmed up before but...you get the point) and soon enough, I manage to break free from the crowd little by little. Some usual sights came after the first few corners after Dataran Merdeka.. BANK NEGARA!!! I manage to maintain my pace by pacing with some of the people. First was a guy which was running about the same speed as me. Soon after, I felt like I could run faster and so I did, and found another couple to pace with. All in all, I maintained pace and ran for a good 45minutes which includes all the hills at Jalan Tungku till Jalan Duta area.

I'm not sure where the water station came about but it was definitely BEFORE entering Jalan Duta. I took 1 bottle of mineral water....drank afew gulps and threw the bottle away. Dang, wasted right? Anyway, Tried my best to run through Duta but as soon as I passed the Duta Bus station, I started to pancit =.= Had to walk + run for a couple of times. I started to get comfortable again when I was entering Jalan Parlimen which leads back to Lake Gardens/Dataran Merdeka. I was pretty steady and ran all the way...passing by Lake Gardens.....Padang Merbuk and finally, entering the last corner for Dataran Merdeka.

I didnt push myself to run faster even though I was nearing to the finish line because honestly, what for? LOL. I knew long before hand that I'm not going to get the medal because for the 10KM category, there are only 75 Medals so WTF right? Nevertheless, I walked after crossing the line, stopped my watch and collected my certificate. Stopped to look at my watch and it was showing 1:18" 47 <== 1 Hour 18minutes 47 seconds. WOW hahaha Damn slow right? But you know what, I don't really care about timings because I know that I've accomplished something good. It's not that I don't strife to run for a better time but for me, I enjoyed the run and the challenge / question at the end of the day is, can I do it? So call it an excuse or lame reason, its fine. My objective is different. :) so there you have it, the super simple race report.

Next news? Well, not really new but...MY NEW SHOE!!! Its new Balance MR1063. Check out the design.

Cool bag huh?

My right forefeet is quite painful at times but today seems okay. Till the next run on 17th Of May 2009. I'm off!~ Have a good day

17KM - 7KM ! 10KM aje

Yo yo.....we ran about 10KM last Saturday morning. Well, not actually the entire way...I think we probably ran about 6KM before walking towards the Bkt Aman car park. Thanks to everyone that came...EatingDimSum, MiloAisChaser, Smallbug.

Honestly, most of us were tired. I arrived home from work at 10pm on Friday. By the time I showered and had my dinner, it was already 10.40pm. I couldn't sleep as I was still too full...ended up sleeping around 12am. Furthermore, MiloAisChaser wasn't feeling well. So we all decided to walk.

But I was actually surprised being able to wake up at 4.00am and prepare my meal before the run. haha..Lawak

Seasoned the chicken breast fillet. 2 Eggs + cheese


My pre run meal :D


The good stuff..YUMMY

Till the next run, eat and rest well!

Whoa..lack of updates.. Run Run

Posted by Metalfreak:

Yo yo...really sorry. I've been busy with work and personal agenda. Lack of updates!!!! I'm happy that a friend in office has started running. Be it running for fun or health reason, it was fun running with him. After all, short distances are nice to run once in awhile to take a break from all the long runs. Plus he is always fun to be around with...lame ass f'ker :D

I'll use his nick. CATMILK! Maw Nai! hahahaha. So Welcome aboard CatMilk. *meow*

Plans for this weekend?

Meet up at Bkt Aman Car Park at 6.00am to do a 21KM run? Might be 15KM but doesn't matter.

JUST RUN LA

Details:
Location: Bkt Aman Car Park...try to come early so you can park at the toilet area(Not in the toilet la diu!). Its safer as its well lit.
Time: 6.30am. So try to leave your place around...say...6.10am or so.

See you there!

ps: I hope I can be there myself LOL. I'm on tentative mode :)

Intro Intro Intro

Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian, welcome to Just Run La dot blogspot dot com. We are The SFSF Runners which stands for Slim Fat Slow Fast Runners because we are a bunch of friends, coming in from different shape, size and speed. Hence, Slim Fat Slow Fast it is!

Everyone in this group runs for a different purpose. Either to lose weight, to stay healthy or even to satisfy certain personal goals, nevertheless, we are RUNNING. What we hope to do in the near future is to train together, perhaps some casual gatherings or anything under the sun. So basically, everyone here are on the same level. There are, however, 3 core members who started things off.

1. Metalfreak
2. Miloaischaser
3. EatingDimSum

You will notice that the blog is pretty much plain and lack of information for now. Well that is because we're still working on it. A few things to point out though. I'm sure most of us are:

1. Working
2. Married - Perhaps with kids
3. Busy with personal agenda.

As dedicated as they would like to be, the people contributing to this site are working on their freewill. With this said, I hope you guys will understand that this site might not provide the BEST of everything but we will try our best to keep it updated with the correct information.

To kick things off, me(Metalfreak, Miloaischaser and Eatingdimsum ran 15KM today. It wasn't a matter of timing or speed but just to get together and run. Running in a group really makes a whole lot of difference. Apart from the company, it's good to give you some motivation...like "oi...cepat sikit!" hahaha.

For me, I woke up around 5am. this morning. I was still lying on the bed when I received a sms from Eatingdimsum "Woke up already and eating. Haha". I quickly got out of bed as well, showered, changed into my running attire and headed downstairs for breakfast.

Homemade muffin, a cup of coffee and 1 banana.

*YawnZ*

I left my gf's place around 6.02am and arrived at Bkt. Aman car park around 6.25am...of course, no traffic mah so took a slow drive. I was the first one there, started walking around and chatted with another runner named Martin. After awhile, Eatingdimsum arrived and soon after, Miloaischaser.

We were making our way to Padang Merbuk or Merbok..whatever.


Off we go...vrooooom...


EatimgDimSum pancit sudah =P MiloAisChaser going strong! Me? Taking picture la


Ok...must cam whore sikit. I'm running I'm running


OMG....

We spotted some friends along the way. First was "Ironman" Rashid around the Tugu Kebangsaan area. Then we met Frank and Lynn too...zooming past us :D Fast wei..

Downhill time for recovery. EatingDimSum - Nope, not this song, next, nope not this either.


Where is this again? Jalan Tunku?


Groupshot while resting.


EatingDimSum attacking the uphill...ROAR


I was on "autopilot" mode and when I looked back, omg...haha...abit too fast. Decided to take 1 photo


Bangun pagi, gosok gigi, cuci muka, makan roti.....pergi LARI.


Almost ending......w00t

We were suppose to have breakfast together but it was getting late and we decided to go our own separate ways. Pretty good run....we ran for a good 1 hour 40minutes plus before we began to walk-run-walk-run HAHA. But whatever the case, 15KM baby yeah!

For some reason, they blocked off the way to head back to Petaling Jaya. We had to use Jalan Bangsar.....#$T%$^$%^#%%

%^*^*^%&%$^$#$%
