Run September 2013

I'm finally calling a day for running events in September.

Finisher medals from Live Great Run and IMU Chariofare

They were my first three runs ever, the Run For Peace in Taman Klang Jaya, the Live Great Run by Great Eastern, lastly the IMU Chariofare.

Records from Nike Running (phone application)

Run For Peace 2013 @ Taman Klang Jaya

It was my first run. Woke up early in the morning to meet up Rachel and Fion. 

We got our running shirt only on the spot.

Although we were there on time, the event started quite late, which was around 7.45am already.

This run gave me good sense of accomplishment and pushed up my confident more in running. This running event is open for public, we saw people of all ages, the very young and the very old. While running with these groups of people, I could outrun majority of the attendants with a walkathon mode. 

We are ready to run!

Fion, Rachel and me.

I then finally finished my first run with a record of 58:17 for 7.22km.

Live Great Run by Great Eastern 2013

The finisher medal and free banana to replenish energy and electrolytes!

The moment we got off from the shuttle bus between starting point and Publika mall was the moment 12km runners kick start their runs. We were LATE.

As I'm always very conscious with my bodily urge (whether to eat or to pee...), it was horrible to have to run with full bladder. I started searching for toilet after activating my BIB. My only thought was "Rachel mentioned there will be toilet at the 3km point, that's kinda far..."  With no luck, I couldn't find any other toilet before the 3km stop.

Another run together! More to come more to come!

This was the most organized and structured run among the three. I could feel tear gland slightly stimulated when I was handed with the finisher medal. That was my longest run ever, 12km!

IMU Chariofare 2013

Then it was this morning. It was a challenge itself, to wake up early on a menstrual day, not to mention that I have to run. I kept up to the record though, maintain usual performance. Does that mean that I could've actually done better?

Rachel, Andrian and me.

Didn't know we're getting a finisher medal!

I've found my own way to run, which is to speed, then slow down for walking, then resume speeding again. This round, I felt the fall back from pushing myself to speed, as if the pain is pulling me back. Fighting back the resistance, it felt so well!

I'm looking forward to join more running events next year. Till then, I think I'm ready to follow the T25 Alpha Phase workout schedule. Shall continue on the exercise soon as well.

cheers,
