pangkor international run

this would become a trip of many firsts. 

my first trip to pangkor island. my first island race-cation. my first time i walked during a 10km run. my first time i walked, twice, during a 10km run. 

yeah, and i also managed to score my personal worst for a 10 kilometre run - a whopping 53 minutes (now go ahead and laugh). that's what lack of training does to you. and you know when you get frustrated because of a bad timimg, so eager to train again because you know you can do so much better, yet you are down with a nagging injury, why hello there, i feel you. my left side of my lowerback is experiencing a nerve problem. yes, ouch. i've had it before my hululangat trail run, and it kinda got worse after the race. 

so its coming to almost a month now, since i got it from the spartan race. it's high time i visited a proper doctor. 

anyways, i was lucky enough to come in 2nd in the women's open category for the pangkor international run. it was a great trip up pangkor, with the ever so supportive hrc mates. 

congratulations to all of us, we all managed to secure top 3 spots. 

of course the feasting on the seafood was almost the best part of the trip. 

oh and i fell completely sick post-pangkor. i was in bed till tuesday. the fever hit me. i think it must have been the dehydrating weather lately. so please everybody, remember to hydrate. don't end up like me. 

announcement

i regret to announce that i am no longer a salomon sponsored athlete/ambassador. i thank salomon malaysia for all the support i have received thus far. it was a blast working together with salomon. salomon has played a great part in my running journey thus far. thank you for the support towards my achievements.

coming soon

running has always been something i've been passionate about. it is my comfort zone. everyone has their to-go-to. it could be that greentea kitkat, it could be that rum and raisin ice-cream, it could be that whiskey on the rocks, it could be that guiness stout cake, for me, of course i have my tiramissu, my hojicha ice-cream, but at the top of my list, running has never been knocked down the top spot. 

i love the speed. i love the runners high. 

but we all have our ups and downs. come february, it would be such that my running took a slight downturn. and when it did, it became a source of stress. it was pretty ironic that  my tool of distressing, would be in itself stressful. it became a viscous cycle. 

the month of march was a slow one for me. it would come as a surprise to myself, despite the slow (in comparison to what i can do) timings, i did manage to place in a couple of races. i am still very thankful for that. 

it's not something easy to come out of. but i believe, what does not kill you makes you stronger. 

watch this space, because, i'll be back. better, faster. 

Cyberjaya Twin city 2016

My lucky stars aligned and I came in 1st runner up in the women open 12km category. 

Team salomon at said event.

My performance has undoubtedly dropped slightly below par. So I am thankful lucky stars aligned. Thanks Sam for pushing me all the way. Much appreciated company throughout the run.

Now this is my love box:) with all.things I love. Foodie and runner combined.

Congratulations to Harjinder on completing his first marathon:)

Broga hill hike

Yes its not all about running. Today it was a leisure hike with good food and great company. Thanks for the hike everybody.

Kl master relay 2015

Team HRC represent at the kl master relay. My final race for year 2015 before a long break. We managed to come in 2nd. Our team did not just comprise the 4 of us runners but we also had a great support team. That was the major difference. 

Many thanks to everyone:) 

Relays are very stressful yet fun at the same time. Can't wait for the next one.

Our playground is closed. MPSJ is closed for about half a year. And so, we are now homeless children. Looking for a track to adopt. 

I've been on off season. Which now means, off season even more nyehehe.
