PJ half Marathon



My 4th 10KM run after, Siemens, Adidas and Putrajaya Night Run.

All I can conclude ; you need to train at least a week before, after what had happened to me during Putrajaya night run, I really make sure I train this time around.
The whole of last week I trained at least 4 times..of total 17KM a week. Even with that I still couldn't get my target timing of 1 hr 15 mins. I only managed to complete in 1 hr 17 or 18 (haven't received the official timing from the organizer) according to my RUNKEEPER app it's 1hr 18.
Good thing, I received my finisher medal.!
I hope to beat this timing during Penang bridge, fingers crossed!!

Hubby did his first half marathon yesterday, completed his race in 2 hours 13 mins. Even with this timing he missed the finisher medal..so you can imagine those who joined half marathon...mostly the hardcore runners..they can easily complete in less than 2 hours..like crazzeeeeee!!, hubby a bit dissapointed yesterday. He said by 18KM, he was totally drained..he reached 12KM in 1 hour but took him 1 hour 13 mins to complete another 9KM.
Since I plan to do my first half marathon next year, I definitely need to train hard..really hard!!! but errr..my target timing is just 3 hours..perhaps not so hard aa?? well..Im not ambitious..but I need to tell my cucu in future that their nenek once ran for half marathon but i dont think I will ever ready for full marathon...like everrr!

RunKeeper -An apps for the runners!







Besides running on a threadmill..I normally run at KLCC park as it has markers, so I know how far I've ran..most of the parks elsewhere does not tell you the distance. Now with this apps it will tell all the info you normally see on your threadmill..cool!!

It uses the GPS, it might not be as accurate as the threadmill..but at least you can gauge the distance and the pace of your running..

It's free apps..also available for android as well.

Happy running..!

Plan B






Last week, to celebrate my birthday, my friends asked me where do I want to go for lunch. In my replying email, I told them "Since i can decide..let's go Plan B" later when I met them at the office lobby.."so where do we go?" my friend asked. "Plan B, Bangsar Village" I said.
"yesss..ok Plan B, but which restaurant?" ...then I realized..they though I was trying to be funny and hush hushh about the place...so I told her.."there's this restaurant called Plan B in Bangsar Village1!!!!" they're all laughing...said.."I almost asked you..what's the the plan A then?"

By the way..I love the food there..it's under the same owner Ben's, T42 (Bangsar Village2). I think the food slightly cheaper compared to Delicious. (if I'm not mistaken, I was told the owner used to be part of delicious share-holder)


The red velvet here is the 2nd best after California Kitchen Pizza (CPK) now in The Fahrenheit, This is my 2nd red velvet for my birthday this year, the first one on my birthday my boss bought a red velvet cake from Just Heavenly..and that was gooood also..so I ranked Just Heavenly as no 3:)
(I dont have the pics..all gone when I upgrading my iphone to OS5..darn!!)


Until next time!!

Ipoh Roadrunner

nice view along the way


starting point at the race's venue


This is the 2nd year hubby joined the Ipoh roadrunner race. The kids and I tagged along as usual..they have been pastering us to go out of KL for holidays..so we take this opportunity to bring them out.

The event this year was held in Ipoh itself unlike last year in Bukit Kinding, according to hubby, last year so far was the toughest route he had ever ran, the uphill and downhill were so steep that he couldnt run downhill, instead he need to control his speed and ended up injurt his knee. Fortunately this year, it was so much easy and flat, just running around the city. For 12KM he completed in 1 hour 9 minutes. I should have signed up, but because earlier I dare not try to run more than 10KM, listening to his review on last year's run, giving me a 2nd thought of joining the race. Definitely I will run next year!

We stayed at Impiana Ipoh, the pool is quite small but overall service is good, and the kids enjoyed the trip very much.

Impiana Hotel, Ipoh


The kids and the sand art




Next run, would be Putrajaya night run. I will be running for 10KM and hubby is going for his first half marathon 21KM.
