Shape Run 2009

This post was meant to be written on Sunday, right after the run itself. But I was so tired, and my feet was starting to feel major pain... so all I managed to do was : uploaded the run pics and soak my feet in warm water for awhile before hitting my bed.

Next morning, (actually it was almost 12pm...haha) I woke up with stiff legs. Apparently the warm water didn't help at all... Yoko2 also not helping... Haihh... After popping a couple of painkillers, I was up on my feet and doing chores around my house... :)

Anyways, about the run... It was FUN as I expected it will be. The event was superb, and since most of my friends (i.e. old colleagues, current colleagues, gym buddies) were there, it was a blast! Well, I was nervous right before the run started though... looking at all those regular runners... (I would think they're regulars just because their outfits sure look like they are... am I making any sense here? Haha)

The run started @ 8pm... and I signed up for Women's Open 11.5km. Guess what?? I finished the whole run and my personal time was 1 hour and 50 minutes!!! Hey, don't laugh... I am proud that I finished the run and NO... I was not the last to arrive. I would say I was in the average group?? Haha whatever la.. So @ 9.50pm, I reached the finishing line and upon approaching there was this one cool guy (I think one of the organizing crew) who was cheering and give encouragement to us to run the last 100 m or so.. and I did!!!

So here, the goodie bag that first attracted me to join this run.. (hehehe)

Actually, there's few voucher's in the envelope that I've forgotten to put to display

The vest (or what should I call it, running top?) haha.. Oh it was nice too... by Reebok. Not bad eh... for 30 bucks of joining fee?? And appended below was my certificate for completing the run... Haaha...

So it was an amazing experience... to run at nite at Putrajaya... with all the buildings, roads and bridges were sinfully decorated / lit by loads of lights ... I think some are unnecessary though... what a total waste of energy. And now, my legs are better. At least I can almost walk like a normal person do. So I would say the post effect run was about 2 days top... Not bad.. not bad... :)

Weekend... It's a bland one.

Oh yes, been alone in the house since last Friday nite. The thing is my partner left for his overseas trip for a week and I have nothing scheduled for the weekend. Argh... so bored. Woke up, watched TV, surf the net, eat... I did all that in repetition mode. Went out for awhile for breakfast yesterday and have been inside the house ever since. When think about it, I can actually hit the gym in between... but I was to lazy to drive... So...

Good thing that I have something to look forward to come next weekend... Yey... can't wait for the Shape Run 2009!!! This will be my second run and I couldn't be more excited!!

To add to the fun, the run will be at nite, how cool is that! I signed up for 11.5km and gosh, I haven't been practicing. (Note to self: Gotta hit the treadmill MORE this week) Or else, I'll be panting like mad during the run... and I don't want that.

Wonder how's the weekend been treating you guys so far? Bet you guys had more exciting stuffs happened. I will try to do a lot of blog-hopping soon... so hope to read nice posts from you guys... :)

*** Just want to share something... My partner actually bought me a book before he left for his trip... and I think it's like an act of comforting me because he had to leave me alone for a week.. so sweet...

Busy Bee cum Zombie

I have been very busy lately. Lack of sleep and mounting of stress is basically my routine now. Tons of work to do at the office (and they followed me home too!). I have just cleared one big client's mess and there's another big one to follow... and the cycle will repeat itself until end of July... haiihh...

Got a breather for awhile when I attended my cousin's wedding last Saturday, and since the reception was in Malacca, I took the chance to "jalan-jalan" with my dad, my brother and my partner there... Enjoyed it but was very super tiring...

Hmm, my dad and my brother flew back to KK last nite and life is back to normal in my household. Boring boring...

On wedding prep, I have yet to confirm on the photographer part. Guess I will need to steal a bit of time tomorrow to sort this out. My mom is nagging me on the mass ceremony arrangement. Need to appoint readers, pick the choirs... and bla bla bla... The one thing concerns me the most is to find which readings from the bible that I should choose for the ceremony. Another hmm...

Crossing my fingers for a better and calmer week ahead.
