Is it wise to run a 10km (trail) within 24 hours of touchdown? Well, the optimist in me thinks if there is a measure of pain and discomfort, this would be the very worst end of it. So all other future races can only be a pleasant one 🙂 Convinced? What went wrong in the […]

Swim Bike Run epiphany…
#throwback to years (in weekend warrior terms) of active road running, triathlon cycling, and triathlon swimming. Cycling and swimming were, by the by, activities that came about BECAUSE of my love for running. I recalled a visit to the physiotherapist (PhT) at KLCC medical centre here in Kuala Lumpur (back in 2014), and complained that […]
It is never too late to start running. A late bloomer, in Malaysia’s weekend-warrior running scene. 2013 (first), 10km, 1.01.38. Hiatus…,1/2 hiatus…, 1/4 hiatus… 2018, 10km, 49.31 (elevation aside).* 2019, 10km, [?] (i have a target :P)  * KL Possible Run 2018 @Padang Merbok.

Orchid Run & Ride 25.9.2016 12km
By a stroke of luck, i managed to finish #1 in the 12km Women Open category. This race was (in many ways) symbolic. I started running in 2013 after returning from Africa. My first race was a 10km road race. We used to joke about targeting to have our names positioned on “Page 1 of […]
1.10.2017. (9-year late) Dad’s birthday. My way of numbing the emotions, and going where the wind blows. Thank you Mother, agreeing to come along, with a restless daughter’s wish to up-the-ante in the Year of 2017. It brought me to Bromo, Surabaya, ~2400m high, and 42.195km later… Probably one of the most cherished moment of […]

KL Possible Run 13.5.2018
In what seemed like an impossible morning to get out of bed. Raining. Wet. And its 0430. “Maybe the hamstring needs more recovery time…” (On reflection, skipping Score Night Run HM – a weekend earlier, was a good decision) Quietened the demon, and rise (out of bed). Glad i did. Padang Merbok. Elevation gain of 132m. […]
A week prior, i ran the Kota Iskandar HM. I struggled. Post 13.5 km, my pace went out of whack. It was due to hydration and lack of conditioning (of sustaining 5.00 pace over longer distance). My bad. I guess i came to NatGeo run to redeem myself. My only focus was to run “a […]

Orchid Run & Ride 24.9.2017 12km
All i wanted to accomplish in this 12km road race was to go faster than last year’s. And i came in 56.51, shaved off a good 9 min (2016 – 1.05.23). And defended the #1 position. Checked!
