.....times of refreshing.....

I just signed up for another 10KM run today but it's schedule will be in April. As a beginner to running, I thought I do more 10KM runs first before I go on to train and run for half-marathons. Anyway, I thought April is too far away and it will be great if I can participate in a run next month. However, the runs next month are mostly on Valentines' Day where unless if I can get a gorgeous babe to run with me (and face the music when reaches home....!), I will likely skip this. Well, let me search for some good races. Anyway, too bad, there were no runs scheduled in JB or I can't find any ...sigh...

On the other hand, I am back running with my first training on last Sunday for 5KM. It was tough, probably due to the inactivity for the past 2 weeks. I ran again last evening and it was better where I managed to complete 7.6KM. Let's see if I can improve my weekly mileage for the rest of the week.

By the way, I love having American or Western breakfast to start the day and I had one last Saturday in Let's Eat Restaurant, Taman Molek, JB. At RM13.90, the set which came with a coffee, was great and the sausages and ham were nicely marinated and grilled. Love the sunny side up too!

Love those traditional cookies which I had when I was a kid

I started the year very prosperous ....but on the other way round. It was spending and spending on shopping! The first two days of the year were spent going to Johor premium outlets, two Aeons and another mall. And, my wifey and kids did haul up some clothes, toys and fashion apparels especially for the coming Chinese New Year. As for me, I didn't buy much except a Levi straight cut model 505 jeans,  two short pants, two shirts and almost got a football jersey in JPO. Anyway, my biggest haul was a Jabra wireless+ sports headset as well as an Asics sneakers. And, that was the most expensive sneakers I ever own!! Time to save up now... sigh...


Then, when I was back in JB, we patronised a newly opened steamboat in Taman Molek at Pavillion steam boat. The ingredients are fresh and quite chunky while they claimed the soup do not have any seasoning or 'ajinomoto' added. Well, I didn't feel thirsty after having the meal which I believe they could be right.

Other than that, it was rest from work as I took a day off on Friday as well as workouts, as well as spending quality time with my family. Have a good weekend! :)
