Crazy Week!

Fuhh..while writing this entry, dah terasa letih yang teramat sangat satu badan sebab 3 consecutive days of running with a total mileage of 40k and tu tak masuk lagi running mileage of the two days earlier in the week! Haha..agak gila kan? But for me, it's worth it sebab banyak reason:

1. Minggu nilah akhirnya dapat buddy running with one of my friend/colleague in Bintulu nih. Siap join one amateur running fraternity lagi! Hehe..details will follow suit.
2. Mem'bandit'kan diri dengan indirectly join the Bintulu Run last Saturday (6/10). Even the police/marshal pun boleh confuse dengan me and my buddy participation. Nice~
3. Tested my endurance of running more than 8k in consecutive days and gladly + gratefully passed with flying colors. I'm even surprised with myself that I could run that long and with faster pace as well.
4. Get acquainted with many seasoned and new runners within these 4 off-duty days. Marvelous!
5. To commence the tapering weeks after a hard week before the Putrajaya Night Marathon.

So, in the first point ana did mention on the running frat yang ana join after being invited by a friend of mine (Thanx a lot Tuan Deli Dedeli!). The frat's name is - the Bintulu Amateur Running Fraternity or in short BARF. Actually this frat baru jer diestablish and founded by Faizal Sharin after everybody got infected by the running bugs and most of the members currently come from the Oil & Gas circle, working here in Bintulu. Macam2 jugak background all the members nih. Ada yang casual runners, ada yang seasoned halfmarathoners and tak kurang jugak yang joined in or being tagged along just to keep fit and maintain health. All around, it is an interesting group of people who fore-mostly share the same passion and hobby that is 'running'.

As for me, joining BARF was like a another step and platform for me to further channel my passion of running because all this while, ana just run solo jer kat Bintulu nih sebab takder geng untuk run sekali. So, bila dah diinvite untuk masuk frat, barulah tau ramai jugak yang sememangnya gatal kaki kat Bintulu nih. Hehe...syukur Alhamdulillah. Owh, by the way, for the upcoming Putrajaya run, ana akan berlari dengan si Faizal and Tuan Dedeli nih dalam half marathon. Haha..ala2 wakil BARF la kononnya..membawa nama bandar Bintulu ke persada dunia (chewah!).

So, for the past week, here are the short/daily journal of my doings:

Previous week (1 - 8/10) Summary

1/10 - Larian melepaskan geram lepas PJ Half Marathon the 30th of Sept. 11.03km in 1hr 13min.

8/10 - Morning long run of 17.47km in 2hr 2min. Couldn't push further sebab dah abis bateri and weather pun makin panas (almost 9am)

So for the next 2 days, marilah kita berehat2 dan sambung shift duty (9 - 12/10). Hehe...

Daa..
