Running has become part of my life. It is nothing to show off about as it's just me being used to show the public my life events. I'm feeling glad to be able to share when approached and asked about running.

It's May, one year has passed since the clinical placement in Penang Island. As I recall, running was part of life in Penang as well. We had no convenient transport and Penang is so far away from home. Running was a way to exercise, to destress and to indulge myself in music through earphone. It still is.

| Thank you Sum, for the company, for inviting me to this run! :D |
This is my first night run. I used to be night run before adjusting my lifestyle when moved to Petaling Jaya. However, the first 500m of this night run was... exhausting. My legs went cramping and felt so heavy with every step.
We ran the first 6km together, partnering.
She told me the cramp will be over as we get used to running. That's very true as I have had the same experience. It was a little more tiring that night though, as compared to previous run.

The event wasn't very well organized in my humble opinion. The organizer had been apologizing so many times in the facebook event page. We were actually quite upset with the extra size running shirt. I sincerely love the colour of the shirt but when both of us look into the mirror after changing, it was just horrible.

| *photo bomb* |
Apart from that, the flag off time was delayed for almost half an hour due to technical issues. We were left standing in the crowd, all so tempted to start running already! We've got bored, hence the number of selfies.
I started running on my own after 6km, in my own pace.
It's my habit, to run to the music. All of my runs are music runs.

| Both of us got the silver medal. |
 |
| Fit fit de sumgirl, she was quite speedy herself! Keep up the good work! :D |
Meeting up after the run, we had apples as refreshment. Got ourselves some free Revive and sandwiches too.
Not to forget that Mr. Fong Yun Lian who had joined the event as well!
 |
| Good job! |
I'd usually go off right after the event but Sum wanted to stay for the lucky draw.
We waited for so long, many numbers were called but many didn't come forward to redeem. Probably already left I guess.
Fortunately, as the emcee got impatient, he announced to present to anyone with pink shoe laces. I immediately jumped in front of him and ran for my gift!

| It's a hamper! |
 |
| It consists of dark chocolate spread, chocolate drink and some chocolate sweets. Just nice for a chocolate lover but not someone who need to watch her weight already. |
Thanks again, Sum.
For the homey home cook dinner,
for retrieving race kit for me in which you were made queueing under the hot sun,
for driving me to the event venue.
Feeling grateful :)
cheers,
