It is 8pm and I am trying desperately to sleep. Which is stupid cos nobody sleeps at 8pm. But I have to get up at 1am and be ready for the Taxi Man at 2am so we can get to Queensbay Mall by 2.30am so we can be in time for the flag-off at 3.45am [...]

Iosodunnowai
I have a condition. It’s called Iosodunnowai*. It’s a condition that results from three things: a distorted sense of your own capabilities; susceptibility to the influences of the environment; and a general absence of brain activity at the time of decision-making. Put these three together with an activity that you would – under normal circumstances [...]

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.
Michael hits Meredith with his [...]

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. [...]

Self-Reliant vs Stuff-Reliant?
I need my stuff. In fact, I’ve come to realise that I can’t survive without my stuff. Guess I’m not the all-sufficient, super-person I fancy myself to be. Unlike people who constantly need people around them, I’ve always prided myself on not being that way – a little self-righteous, I suppose. I’ve always thought it [...]

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 [...]
