After the highs of finishing my first half-marathon last Sunday, life's seems back to normal especially when the working week started. It's still seems very surreal to me as I never thought I will go for a half-marathon as well as finishing it. With the Standard Chartered Marathon opening for registration soon, (love their running tee design) I wanted to participate in it for another HM and also thinking of improving my timing and run this time round. Thus, I went to search for training plans which can accommodate my schedule and I saw some 3-days a week programs. Another way is to join some running clubs or folks or attend a clinic. Anyway, I am lacking running mates as most of my friends who ran with me are not interested in joining events, and I don't like to go alone as it can be lonely. That's my objective now - to search for training programs and running kakis... :) Of course, need to train better too!
I didn't go back to JB last weekend due to the HM and I do miss home. Will be taking a day off on Friday to spend more time with my family, since Friday is weekend in JB. I still remember what we had two weeks ago at Anmour Cafe in Permas Jaya.

ReplyDeleteSTP - huh? what cake ?
DeleteI like everything in this post.. The spaghetti, fish & chips, lamb chops.. I think I can finish all, all my favourite leh..
ReplyDeletePrincess- haha...when it comes to food, you like all!
Deletemore to come after you have stepped out your first step!! there will sure be more runs that you want to join, half marathon, full marathon and even ultra marathon!! it's just a matter of time.. :)
ReplyDeleteSK - hahaha...hope so. FM is enough !
Deletewell, lack of running mates as your friends are not joining events?? then you should even go to those events and clinics alone!! that's how you make new friends and have running mates.. those who go to the events have the same interest as you and I am sure you will click well with them.. :)
ReplyDeleteSK -Yeah, hopefully so I can find running kakis there.
Deleteooh I like the spaghetti and also the brownies with ice-cream.. no desserts for you?? what about a cup of coffee??
ReplyDeleteSK - Got coffee but I didn't the pix
DeleteI have sweet tooth, loves the brownie...
ReplyDeleteThat's a good meal.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I shared a training plan for a 9 weeks 2:15 HM and it works.
Can dig it out, if you want. I followed it for my 2012 HM.
Thanks for sharing the plan , Lina! Need some proper guidance to improve.
DeleteI always want to look for running mate, but I know I'm too lousy and those I want to run along, they're too good, so I can imagine like on the spot they will be the one waiting for me. Then I thinking of going alone, but I feel very lazy to go alone....
ReplyDeleteXiao Ying - They don't really need to wait for you during the run but jut that all of you go to the run together. The more the merrier, just like Lina and her gang. After the run ,can have a meal together and celebrate as well as train together.
DeleteAiyak...liddat your should have register for the SCKLM. ..sure have many friends run together. Lina will be there..TM will be there
ReplyDeleteKucing - KL leh ... far!
DeleteYummy! Love all the dishes.
ReplyDeleteI also look forward to weekend.
Rose - :)
DeleteAfter running and burning all fats, you makan lagi sinful and yummy food again. It goes in cycles.
ReplyDeleteYou miss home! Sure boh?..... I know many guys who feel happy to be away from family. Terrible people I know.
Your running kakis are all here in KL. Time to relocate? :P
ReplyDeletegosh i love that meal.. must be a very satisfying one.. especially if you end it with such scrumptious dessert like that
ReplyDeleteoh how old are your kiddos? They must be as active as you right?
I am also looking for a nice wellness program here. I might have to start it my the third quarter of this year.. I just felt that having a trainer to guide you will help you monitor your progress so well.. hopefully I can find one here
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Chris
It's Me Bluedreamer
I forsee that you will be joining more marathons in future :)
