Milo Ais, Satu!

After a couple of short races, I've decided to take the plunge and give the half marathon a try. Standard Chartered has always been known for organizing excellent races, and dad completed not one, but two full Standard Chartered Marathons in Singapore. Even though he's no longer around, I'm now even more determined to keep his running spirit alive. Join me in my running journey as I train towards 28 June 2009, my very first half marathon.

Don't be shy - drop a note in the comment box, it's always nice to hear from bloggers and runners and even non-runners :)

Milo Ais, Satu! (roughly translated into One Iced Milo, please!) -- simply because for me, the best part of a run is not the personal records or the medals or the certificates. It's when you grab a well-deserved paper cup filled with the best Milo in the world from the Milo van compliments of Nestle. I think all runners in Malaysia would know what I mean, at that point in time when you reach the end of the queue, it's the most amazing Milo drink ever :D

Completed my third half-marathon in Bidor. Pretty much the same timing as Singapore but one could consider it an improvement given the tougher route. Hot and hilly!!

Taman Jaya - This used to be my playground...

I used to come here as kid during weekends! And then I remember training here for a while when I just started working. Decided to pay the park a visit and did a 5km run in the evening. The jogging path was kinda hard, so I... more
