Men Vs Women

Happy Jumaat!!! :)

Here's an awesome running TV ad from Nike for your entertainment:



I like the part where Eva Longoria threw her hubby's running shoes off the balcony...Hehe...

Since I have the Nike shoes + Sportband, I'm DEFINITELY going to take up this challenge!!!

Come on ladies, join me here and let's beat 'em lads!!! :P :P :P

Have a good weekend everyone! :)

We train hard and we play harder...

Indeed...

Last night was OBC Bandar Utama's 1st Graduation Party...

It's a tradition to have one after a month of hardcore trainings and 'punishments' from the trainers... And plus we get to mingle with the other bootcampers and be in nicer clothes other than our usual and smelly OBC workout clothes ;P

I have to say that my attendance last month was super bad...  *spanking myself*

I hope that I will be able to go to my 1st session for this month tomorrow which is like super long overdue!!!

The party was held di:

The food is not bad at all! And it's reasonably-priced...

Check out this place k? ;)

Anyways, the theme was World Cup!!! So all of us had to wear football jerseys... (If not, we had to do 10 grunts... :P)

Of course I wore my Italy jersey (Forza Azzurris!!!)...

So punctual la these people! ;P

Note to self: Must visit the salon this weekend! Hair is like a broom!

We used to train in the same group at Padang Merbok... The kiasu-est bootcamper back then...

*Will support the Oranjes this Monday morning!

Ili - too bad Germany lost this morning... but Spain played much better football though ;)

The MOST manja/spoilt person from bootcamp decided to get into the group pic...

Boo to Portugal! :P

He gets punched by us for being that :P

All of us were donned in either jerseys from the EPL club or country (like moi), but ONE person stood out from the crowd:

I covered the club's logo in this pic...

Me giving a weird face on his choice of jersey :P

My friend Ded was wearing S-E-L-A-N-G-O-R's club jersey!!! Hehehe... Salute! :P

Had a good time last night... It has been a while....

Oh, do check out Original Bootcamp here and let me know if you're interested as we have 'Bring A Friend' Day every month, where you'll get a chance to try out on what this programme is all about...and why we wake up super early in the morning to do so! Hehe... 

This month's Bring A Friend Day will be happening next Friday, 18 July.... Let me know k? ;)

HOOYAH!!!

Siemens Run 10km...

I've registered myself for the run two months ago (because I was being a kiasu :P)...

But I will be running at Ipoh International Run that will be happening on the same day (18 July 2010)...

So I'll be giving out my running bib for FREE!!! :)

Do email me if you're interested to run as moi ;)

I'm Always Happy When I'm Running...

Don't believe me? ;P

Doing the Japanese tourist pose at KL Marathon :P

So go on then...

Put on your shoes and start running!!! ;)

PS: I'll be happy to run with any one of you too :)

Quote of the day

"The music of a marathon is a powerful strain, one of those tunes of glory. It asks us to forsake pleasures, to discipline the body, to find courage, to renew faith and to become's own person, utterly and completely."

-The late Dr. George Sheehan, author and runner - 

Couldn't agree more with the quote above... :)

I have to say that a part of who or what I am today has been shaped by my years of running... 

Hehe... I'm sounding like a veteran... 

But then again, I have been running since I was 10 years old ;)

Can't wait to experience my first marathon in December insyaAllah...

Happy Monday everyone! :)

Happy Joints

I came across this ad by Joint Juice while reading the latest issue of Runner's World:

Not really sure if my joints are happy or cursing at me whenever I'm running though :P

Cute ad, isn't it? :)

You should check out their website here and go through the interactive video to learn more about your joints...

I wonder how the juice would taste like though...Hmmm...

Have a good weekend everybody! :)

Where Did My 6 Months Go???

As we enter the first day for the month of July, I just can't believe that half of the year for 2010 has gone by!!!

Nevertheless, I'm grateful that:

• My back's condition (Spondylosis L5) has subsided and I'm back to running again! (I participated in these 3 events only last year - Shape Night Run, Standard Chartered Singapore Half Marathon, Malakoff 12km Run) :)
• I started this blog and have made many new friends with other bloggers (especially the runners out there) :)
• I have improved on my timing for my half marathon and can't wait to smash my PB for this as I go along :)
• I have made new friends from OBC :)
• I didn't donate a lot of money to Maxis like before, thanks to the discovery of Blackberry Bold 2 :P
• Allah SWT has given me the inner strength and will to be stronger each time when the going gets tough... Alhamdulillah :)
• I've lost 2kgs so far! :) (Yes, I am vain :P)
• My Penyeris and Oprah ladies are there for me when I needed them the most :)

My Penyeris :)

My Oprah Ladies :)

Last but not least, I thank my parents for their never-ending support, love and dedication toward their daughter-yang-tak-boleh-duduk-diam... Hehe...

To Mumsie & Dadaa, thank you for being my rocks for the past 6 trying months :D :D :D

Hoping to end the remaining 6 months of the year in high notes, insyaAllah! :)
