There's also a fun run organized by the klang pacers. Just 4.5k on the 7th of June. Deadline for registering 24th of May (but spaces are limited!). =P. Will probably be joining just for the fun of it.heheheh~

Asha: Week 12

Only managed one run this week... Wanted to do a 7k one on Sunday but that one was rained out (long story...)..

Distance: 1.93km
Time: 17 minutes
Speed: 6.812 km/h or 4.257mph

I think I was still exhausted from my 6k run a few days before this one, so I actually took more breaks than I should have... Not one my best runs I think... However, really excited about the 7k one! Yay!! :D

John : Week 11

Decided to do hill runs this week given the fact that the upcoming Larian Kubur's route is said to be rather hilly (will know more of it when we [ash, waiz, me , xiu, maybe my sis] walk the route sometime this week. Though the times and speed may suggest a lack of improvement over the past week, note that the routes tackled this week were far tougher then the ones i've run the weeks before... =P

Uphill Distance : 1485 m
Downhill Distance : 700 downhill
Slopy Distance : 7532 m
Total Distance : 9712 m
Total time : 59min 30sec
Average speed : 9.8kph/6.1mph

Total of two runs, one long nonstop 7.4k one and another short 2.4k one which had two 3 minute breaks in it. All in all a decent run week...looking forward to tackling the graveyard... ;)

Group Run Proposal



Anyone up for a group run next week friday/saturday/sunday?

I propose we have a "competitive" 5k+ group run. Not too picky on location, but am picky on the fact that the distance must be very well determined and verified. =P.

Was thinking of the roads near college but the place is all clouded on googleearth so i can't accurately chart the route (the superimposed road system can be quite a bit off at times).

Anyone have a route in mind? As a fallback there's always gardens. See 5006m route (measured distance in 3 laps below).

Fuz: Updates

Today's run was disappointing as I really was not prepared for it at all. Firstly, had a lack of sleep due to the large dose of mocha latte the night before (thanks to you, John) and pretty much stayed up till 4AM fixing the computer before I went to sleep. Woke up at 6AM in order to get to college.

Came back around 3pm and took a nap before waking up at 6pm then straight to the running trail in Taman Rakyat Klang. So I was sleep deprived, groggy and hungry as my only meal was at 9.30AM.

I have a love/hate thing with TRK as the route I chose is pretty much uphill on the get go and a few more uphill battles in the middle of the route so it's pretty tiring. I have no idea how long is the total park route length, but from google its estimated at 6 miles. I took a shorter one, so I can only estimate it at 3-4 miles? Did 1 lap with 20:08, on my second lap, 4 minutes in I began to feel sharp pains to my kidney area, so I decided to walked it off instead of continuing.

Distance: 3 miles
Time: 20:08 minutes
Speed: no idea

The whole track I think: http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/malaysia/klang/597959148
