Another One? Part 2

It's been a while since my last entry on my injury. Up to this date, it's all about muscle stress and fatigues where any extra hard exertions to my right feet and calf, will further aggravate the injury and won't help it to properly heal as it should be. Nonetheless, I've been planning to do some 'yoga'ing at home (sounds funny already) just to stay active throughout this 2 weeks without running. Well, it wasn't exactly zero running, as I did attempt one short jog (about 1 mile) last Thursday just to see how's my feet doing. And just as I expected, there's still some more healing and resting need to be done. :-(

So I just have to see how's my feet doing in this coming week. Otherwise, it will be a bittersweet goodbye to my Brooks HM next Sunday and officially, my first DNS in my running life..hoho..but as most of my friends and running colleagues advices me to do - just let this Brooks pass and wait for the injury to heal properly. After that, just focus and ready myself for my FM in May 2013 - my biggest target for this year..

Lastly, somebody shared this youtube's vid in my FB -  an inspirational one..



If that guy didn't give up, why should I?

Another One?

Another week of frustation as I'm forced to take a rest because my upper right foot suddenly caught with some pain and I couldn't walk properly after a 5k run last Sunday.

And after 3 sessions of 'membetulkan urat-urat' massage in Miri, I was told instead that my whole right thigh and calf is having muscle fatigues or stresses that is affecting the whole leg i.e. as for my case here, my foot. So, whether I like it or not, I had to take a full week off from any running as to give my leg a full rest.

Haih...restless2 sebab there's only another 2-3 weeks before the Brooks HM and hopefully, sempatlah this precious kaki to recover..

Fingers crossed!

The 'Big' Commitment - BIM 2013 & SCKLM 2013

Month January had passed and now I'm in February 2013. New progress targets are on the table and  need to be worked-on and achieved timely since my first FM date is drawing closer and closer (3months..lama lagi ker nih?)..

As for my January month, it ended quite well although by the end of it (the last week of Jan 2013), I was caught with a hot fever and stomach aches due to 'uncontrollable' eating habit everytime I attended workshops in a hotel, in KL! Huh..and hence, I only managed to do some (2 runs to be exact) running just before I caught both of that 'discomfortness'. :P.

All in all, I need to do some catching up with my training plan. As far as the event registration is concerned, I've officially commit myself to 2 FM in this first half of the year i.e. the Borneo International Marathon 2013 and the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2013. Nak tak nak, malas tak malas..training perlu dibuat and consistently jugak. If not nanti, memang cari pasal la bila dah kat starting line-up. Erghh..

SCKLM 2013 in KL

Along the way, I'm glad and grateful that my 'two girlfriends' are doing fine and I myself also has adapted well to the new environment of being a father, without neglecting the obligations. Now my only hope is that I could balance out my life demands and my running journey so that the targets I've put for myself for this year, can be achieved safely and as per plan, InsyaAllah.


See you again in the next update entry...ciao
