The Rabies Awareness Fun Run

I absolutely love The Office. I must’ve watched every episode at least three times and no, I’m not exaggerating. Seeing that my blog contains a fair share of stuff on running, I thought it was apt to pay tribute to the show’s one running episode: The Fun Run in season 4.

Adidas King Of The Road 2009

Every blog entry must have a story/a point/a hook – something you can capture in a single sentence. KL Marathon was my maiden run and SHAPE was the one where I was last (first few kms la). But truth be told, I don’t really have a story/a point/a hook for Adidas KOTR … so what [...]

Out Of Shape @ SHAPE Run 2009

You know how you joke about being the last one in the race? You joke about it cos you never really expect to be The Last One In The Race. Well, at SHAPE, I was The Last One In The Race. So maybe I should stop kidding about that.

Okay, I didn’t exactly come in last, [...]

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009

Ah, yesterday was a milestone event: my maiden marathon! Okay okay, technically, it wasn’t a marathon cos I signed up for the 10K, so I’ll call it my maiden 10K run. But then again, some parts of the route did coincide with those running the full 42K, so I’ll call it my Maiden 10K Marathon. [...]

The Slowest Marathoner In The World

There was a man named Shinzo Kanakuri. He joined the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. It got really hot, so he stopped mid-way for a drink. It must’ve been one bitch of a heat cos he stayed for an hour and by then, he was too ashamed to continue the race. So he went home. [...]

I’m Delusional And I’m Liking It!

It’s official. I am suffering from DSS: Delusional Disorder Syndrome. That’s the only plausible explanation for why I just did what I did. What did I do, you ask? Um, I signed up for the Penang Bridge International Marathon. (Loyal reader: “Cheh, big deal …”) Wait, wait, I’m not done. I signed up for the [...]

Running Quotes Guaranteed To Get You Off Your Butt

I love quotations … I’m sure you can tell if you’ve read my About My Blog page. Being a person who’s pretty obsessed with words, I’m constantly amazed at how such great truth and insight can be squeezed into one tiny little sentence, making it so powerful that it can transform the way you view [...]

Oh Goody, My Endorphins Aren’t Broken After All!

Ah, that elusive runner’s high … kinda like drugs except that it’s cheaper and doesn’t land you a mandatory death sentence. I want that high. In fact, I think I may have experienced it a teensy weensy itty bitty bit recently.
First of all, let me declare my fitness status: I’m not a marathoner or anything [...]

Run, Chicken, Run!

I had a horrible PE teacher back in school. She had wiry triangle hair, wore big bug-eyed glasses, had pock-marked skin so bad even the best foundation couldn’t camouflage and thighs so huge lightning would mistake it for tree trunks. Her name was Anne and she’s the reason behind my fear of running – a [...]

My Deep Dark iPod Secrets

I was looking through the songs I ran to this morning when I realised that some of the songs were pretty um, for lack of a better word, totally un-happening. The songs on your ipod are a telltale sign of the kind of person you are, just like the books you read, the movies you [...]
