Pushing It

Maintaining the motivation to keep pushing on running days in and days out is really hard if our mind and body is not on a proper track i.e. stress, tired, low motivation, those sofa's calling or fastfood temptation. So, it is good if once in a while we keep our mind sane by doing something else but...

Against the Hills

Yesterday's run was thru a new route where I failed miserably in the previous run. This time I managed to go further and completed the run in one piece except that I was still short of my target by 2k to reach the 15k distance. I hit the wall by the time I reached the 13k split and from there on, went...

The Harsh Lessons

A lot of new things I learned in today's first morning run (after Ramadhan month) as God only allow me no further than 8k instead of the planned 15k. My body was almost at its threshold by the time I completed my 2nd run. This was my biggest mistake (big time!) as I went ahead with the run without having...

The Awakening

Alhamdulillah...after 5 days break for Eidulfitri, I managed to pull myself for a quick run yesterday's evening after putting up a good fight with the holiday laziness. It was really tiring (yeah right~) and with the sight of my running buddy (Adizero) still hiding/sleeping beneath the plastic-bag just...

That Surge before Iftar

Subhanallah..Ramadhan is going to leave us all in 1 or 2 days and the feeling is always that you are not doing that much throughout the month. We can only hope and pray to Him for all of our ibadah are accepted and all of our sins have been forgiven insyaAllah. As for me, prior to Syawal and before...

13.8.2012 - KLCC Park Night Run

The opportunity for a run just before flying back to Bintulu I grabbed on Monday (13/8) when I was in KL attending a project workshop. Helped by a close-distance to the KLCC park (I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel), i turned-up at the park's rubber track at around 10pm that night after the terawih...

Respect lah Bro!

Last Saturday night was a fun occasion for me and my brother since this is the first time we ran together after many years (haha...so sweet~)...Since I'm the one who to be blamed for persuading him to join the 5.5k category in the next Klang Oren Sports run, we ended up running side by side (albeit...

The 'Flu' Run

For the last three days, I was down really2 bad with a flu + fever. My eyes were watery and combine that with a runny nose, I was half dead and was even struggling to pray properly as my hands were kept busy by handling those runny noses. On one side though, I admitted it was a struggle (or perhaps...

The Running Mags

A rest day for me today, though I was planning to do some strength workout just before I went for my night shift. But the fasting-tiredness syndrome got into me and I ended up watching movies and cooking for my iftar (that's even better right?!).. Folks, I'm sharing two of my latest running mags that...

Run the Talk..

Haha..i changed my planned workout right in the middle of the run.. from an LSD to an 8k speedwork. It was great i guess considering this was the first time i ran more than 7k in two consecutive days. Plus, i broke my own PR by achieving 8k distance below 50mins. And for that, I'm now more confident  to achieve a higher target for my 10k run ; sub 55mins! In summary Route : Taman Ria BTU -...

Day 18..

Last night I ran my normal 11.7k run in 1hr 14mins. Compared to the previous run (the same distance but faster by 2mins), my timing was much slower this time. Maybe the last time I was helped by the windy night...huhu..anyway, it was a good run after a day rest from the hill session on Saturday (5/8) though the legs still feel a little bit heavy than usual..I assumed it was because of the Monday tiredness...

The Story Begins

Today would be the first day I posted for this blog, dedicated solely to my journey towards a full-fledged marathon running, targeted to be achieved in 1 year time. I know i could have put the target much earlier but considering my surrounding factors (work, family, travel etc), i thought that target is quite reasonable for me who for quite a while have gradually started building my fitness and strength...
