Terry Fox Run 2008
Last year (read more) was more like a fun walk than a proper run and if I remember correctly I hardly even sweat.
And this year I thought to myself, if I’m going to have to get up early and run anyway why not go for the extra mile?
Since my once-a-week gym regime has always been 5km on the treadmill, 6km shouldn’t be that difficult right?
But I forgot to remind myself that those 5km treadmill regime was actually back in the UK days when I was much fitter. I’ve long given up running for sometime since I started working in KL. 
How?
With my inconsistent weekly gym routine and occasional jog at the TTDI park, I was discreetly worrying sick that I might pass out half way.
But there’s no turning back.
Terry Fox Run wasn’t as crowded as last year. Even the MS group was much smaller compared to last year. My company didn’t organize a groupie for this event so I joined my ex-colleagues. But there was only 3 of us who did the advanced route and the rest went for the standard 3km.
I was the only girl. 
And of course, I was so busy running I didn’t have the chance to take many photos. I have to say it was quite challenging to my standard. Running on pavement roads feels really different compared to running on treadmill. Uphill isn’t the same as gradient.
It was way, way tougher.
But I did it! 
Some cam whoring moments of my friends to share here…
Even though 6km is probably a very subtle distance to many, it surely feels like an achievement to me!
My next goal is to climb Mt. KK by next year!
Terry Fox Run 2007
This is one month overdue entry.
Exactly a month ago, my colleague, Iriani took the initiative to gather all the charity enthuthiasts in the office to take part in this year’s Terry Fox run. Since I didn’t go last year, thought it’d be a nice thing to do on a Sunday morning, what more when I get to check out what marathon is like in Malaysia not to mention it’s for charity. It’s not as though I’ve taken part in any of the London Marathons before but I’ve watched on tv before okayyyy :PÂ

Run. Marathon here I come. NOT! Tt turned out to be a very mild run. Hmmm actually no… even ”brisk walking” would be an over-statement. The entire lake garden was jam packed with all different concoction of runners ranging from the lame ones like myself to the really serious hardcore ones. The entire route was only 6km and there was no room to speed at all. I was walking together with my colleagues while chatting away and about 30 minutes later we reached  the finishing line.

The run ended around 1030am. The group then adjourned to the nearby food stall for nasi lemak breakfast. It was overall a pretty fun outing and most of all, I’m proud of myself as I’ve succumbed to dump my cozy warm bed on a Sunday morning ;)
