We have done it!
Congrat to Yen Erl , Wai Yee who had completed thier maiden full marathon. Ben had achieved his best timing in Singapore marathon by completing within 3 hr 31 mins, I have completed within 4 hr 29mins.

It is test of endurance in a very sunny but windy day, but all of us have done it by completing the 42.195km distance... a distance where they say we need to run from KL to Seremban :)

I break my own record by going to toilet 6 times during the race and drinking water every 1.5km after 20k mark in ECP. I was not thirsty but I think i need that little break to rest. However, I wish I don't keep this habit as the race in Malaysia will not have so many water station and toilets.

I think is time to move on and target for a better timing as I have stayed in the completion time of 4 hrs 30mins for all my 3 full marathon. Let start training and aim for a sub 4 race next time... eheh...


Specially Thanks to Chan for taking this picture for me .

Are you ready??

Is Friday again and I m going to have my 3rd Full Marathon in 8 days time. Excited ? Nervous? ..hmm... is more like excited coz 42k is a too long distance for you to feel nervous :P

I have 2 enjoyable run this week,
Tuesday - CBD run with Pacer. I am following DO and Dream running in 4hr pace. The pace is comfortable for 10k run, but not sure it is still comfortable if persist for 42k .
Thursday - Normal running lab run where we run Explanade this week. The crowd is lesser this week and predict it will be lesser next week due to the race on Sunday.

Attended the hot yoga flow on Wednesday as well, this time the yoga class is not that hot, tiring and unbearable like last time and I can follow most of the pose :) Will need to go more often to get myself stronger.

FRIDAY --- 2 more hours to off work! I m going to collect race bib with Ben later, and will have a 16k run on ECP tomorrow. And hopefully will have an enjoyable shopping on the rest of the day:)

I will also need to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dearest Sister, TZE! Hope her dreamsssss will come true soon!!

Bought 2 shoes in a day

Finally waited for Ben to be free to and go for Shoes shopping with me. We went to running lab and bought a pair of Mizuno Inpires... :)

Coincidently there is a 30% discount on Adidas product for SG runners in Cathay Cineleisure yesterday and I have been eyeing on a Adidas running vest .... Hence,we decided to go there to take a look.

I first trying on different shoes like Adizero tempo, Supernova but they don't have my size. Just when I thought I will go home with just the running vest..hhehe.. Ben saw this Adizero Breeze in the classic color (black and white) which is my favourite. Wihout hesitate more than 5 mins.. I try on the shoes and bought it.

Now.. I have 4 shoes in total.. one Mizuno that already with me for 3 yrs and is time to retire. A green ASIC DS trainer, a blue Mizuno Inspire and a black and white Adidas Adizero Breeze :)

Hello Again

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. There is too many things happen this few month that I can't recall all of them . But that is some major change in my life, that is I am moved from KL to Singapore. I started my new job and is already 3 months old ..Huyeah!!.

As for running, I went for Ediken run in Putra Jaya, Genting Trailblazer last week , hiking in Pine Hill, Bkt Datuk:) Compare with last year, I think I had cut down a lot of races as it is not as convenient now to go for the race...:( But I m still enjoying very much in going back to Malaysia to join all the races :)

I have been busy with wedding planning recently and had created our wedding website. http://www.mywedding.com/benwedyeehua/

I will say the progress for wedding planning is quite ok for now as I have my sister in KL taking care of all the details in KL and Ben who is taking care of the planning in Singapore :) Sound like I am not doing anything ... hhee.. I think when we approach "THE DAY" , we will have clearer idea on the progress.

Will stop for now and will come back later on some update on Genting Trailblazer.

Uniten 10k Run - 14th July

My Taiwan Trip - 2nd June to 11th June 2007

laze around...

I m so sorry for being lazy for nearly 2 months. I have lazed around the Singapore and Malaysia home, this is really an unplanned long vacation. Based on my original plan, I should be working by today.. but things will never go as smoothly as u want.. i m still staying at home today... the different is .. this time i m not sitting at the home in KL... but in Singapore.

Anyway.. i did a lot within this 2 month ssince my last day in IBM on 14th May. Let recall.. i stayed at home a few days until 16th May and go to KK until 20th May. I continue to stay at home at Villa Banyan until 25th and went to Cameron highland to climb Mount Irau with Tony Q's group . Of coz, within this week .. i met some of my friends and did a lot of yoga and running:)

I m back in KL again on 27th and went to Sg on 31st for an interview and back to KL again on 1st June in order to go to Taiwan on 2nd June. I were in Taiwan until 11th June.. This is a wonderful trip, although the Taiwan weather had not been very unfriendly to me , but I enjoyed myself and feel happy to expose to other country's culture. I m very glad that I met a lot of friendly relatives and friends that willing to spend all thier time to make us feel like home in Taiwan.

I m back in KL again on 11th June.. and this should be the worst week within my holiday as I found out I flunk the job that I interviewed before I left to Taiwan and I have no trip to look forward anymore. I must face the reality now and start looking for job. I sat at home for a week again and I came to Singapore on 18th June. Keep myself busy on the first 3 days in Singapore to prepare for Ben's birthday on 20th June. I enjoyed the first 3 days and finally start my job hunting on 21st June. Staying in front of comp most of time.. look at different website and click on any job that I think I might have a chance..:)

Day by day.. Finally come to 23rd June. Penang Internation full marathon ... the 2nd full marathon in my life. I travel to Penang on 23rd and start the race on 24th Morning 3pm. I enjoyed the scenary, the early morning weather. I did not allowed myself to stop in this race, and I only have one slogan in my mind.. "enjoy the run and complete it without walking". I thought I will done better this time.. but I completed it within 4 hrs 36mins which is 10 mins slower than my KL marathon. A bit dissapointed but I think I have done my best this time and really proud of myself to complete it without walking or having any negative thought this time. Big thanks to Siok Bee to compete with me during the race. Spotting her during the race.. we both overtaking each other..really encourage me to stay focus and run faster during the race :)

Run is over... i m back to normal life again.. but life is still not too bored for me now.. because I went for eye Lasik on 26th June. The Lasik went very well and I will have to say it is safe , quick , not painful at all. It happen too quick for u to react :) Just remember to an obedient patient and listen to doctor instruction all the time.

Due to eye surgery , i need to rest for 2 days, no TV or comp for long hours. The worst case is no run or yoga for a week, no swimming , facial for a month. I have to endure... and tomorrow will be the last day of my one week and hope I can resume to run tomorrow. Otherwise, I might turn to be a big fat pig soon ....

Within this boring 3 to 4 days... I start doing my wedding plan... list down item that need to do. I hope this long vacation will end soon as i m very very eager to go back to work force and be join back the white color working group again..otherwise I m just afraid i will get too slack if this vacation is going to extend longer :(
