Saturday LSD
LSD : Long slow distance. A staple and a must for those training to enter half-marathons and full marathons. For us weekend warriors, we usually do it over the weekends. It's normal to wake up at ungodly hours on either a Saturday or Sunday (or any public holiday that falls on a weekday) so that a morning long run can be done and finished before it gets way too hot.
For me though, I'm too darn lazy to wake up at 4am nowadays. I was crazy enough to do it in 2012 but now? I go out a crazier hours. Imagine starting a long run at 8am and get completely fried by 10.00am! Hu~
Today's run. We started our run at 8.34am (yes, I can be precise) and I ended my run at 11.45am. Thank goodness it was cool and overcast the whole morning. Otherwise, I don't think I'd be able to complete this. I'm such a wuss. Heeee~
The route. I started at the foot of Taman Wawasan's hill with Zaini running alongside me, and we ran together all the way to Presint 4. He left me to continue on to Presint 3 while I do a few hill repeats before running up the Jambatan Seri Gemilang and then made a toilet stop at Taman Seri Empangan. A drama was being filmed there by the way. Dunno what since I rarely watched Malay drama.
From Taman Seri Empangan, I continued on to Pullman then up PICC and then back to Jambatan Seri Gemilang and ran on a straight path all the way to Masjid Putra. Double back and ran to Umai Cafe for a water refill break before finishing my run where Zaini was waiting for me - under Jambatan Putra. Saw another shooting near Umai Cafe. Putrajaya is sure buzzing with shoots today. ^^
Had initially thought of doing more than this 22km but then, it was almost lunch hour. Pity Son & Hubby also lah...
Lunch was these. Ikan bakar and for me, to replenish the sodium lost due to all the sweating : cencaluk! Salty. Very salty. hur hur
My reward for any run done that exceeds 1 and half hour : a malta drink. Nyummzz
Now : laundry time!
How's your weekend so far? :-)
And oh! Before I forgot. There's an interesting event in May. A relay event called Pisang Relay. Instead of holding a baton, you run holding bananas. And no, you cannot eat the pisang while you run. You'll be disqualified. Who's joining?

Hello Weekend Warrior! I try not to laugh..... imagining you holding a pisang as you run.
ReplyDeleteIt would be an interesting sight. ;p
DeleteThough, a great way to train how not to be to tensed up while running. We are not supposed to grip our fist while running. :)
HAHAHAHAHA......
ReplyDeletetak boleh tahan :P
Not joining you for the pisang relay.
No?
DeleteAwww.... it'll be fun. Just don't eat the baton! ;)
Piesangresies (banana race)? Yes, please! :D
ReplyDeleteThough knowing you and what you do with fruit, I dread to think what you're going to get up to with that banana. Please don't tell the Cucumber Cleric.
You ran non-stop for three hours this morning? Gaaa. (@_@)
I won't do anything naughty with those squishy bananas! Promise! ;p
DeleteThree hours with three stops (7min). It's a slow jog anyway, nothing to be awed at. xD
I don't believe you. So there. :p
DeleteAnd I'm going to ignore you and be awed anyway. Heh heh.
That's why I put that shot of my Timex for you to scoff at my pace. ;p
DeleteI am awed at your tenacity walking in all kind of weather in unearthing obsecure places, Ru!
So there!
Tenacity or jungle stupidity? :p
DeleteHow far are you with the Daibutsu? Doing another LSD, are we? :D
0 progress.
DeleteWay too much leftover energy. Can't sit still and read. Can only browse and fidget... a lot.
Chotto matte ne. ;p
and oh... Mishandling the bananas will result in disqualification, madam. So no inappropriate bananas action during the relay. :-P
DeleteWhen Lina reached finishing line...the banana will be in between her legs!! Muahaha
DeleteIyer... No likey mushy things lah... better put terung kecut than a mashed up bananas. Wakaka
DeleteK.lina.. shooting lah skali patutnye.. u missed to be the heroin lah! Hahaha.. anyway malta tu rasa apa? Never taste it before.. mcm nk try lah!
ReplyDeleteKakaka... buruknyer heroin kalau I masuk! ;p
DeleteMalta - rasa caramel. Coke pekat tak cukup gas kata my son. Rasa milo campur coke kata my hubby.
I byk stok. Leh je bwk sample kalau jumpa. ;)
Oh pleaseee mmg nk rasa.. hahhaa.. tempting gile tgk botol je baaru.. :)
DeleteFor me, yg dlm botol lagi sedap dar yg tin. Nak2 tambah ais. Pergh...
DeleteDua-tiga hari ni nak gi kedai ubat cina kat Cheras beli stok sekaton.
Bila nak rasa minum? kekeke
U join LSD dlm uniten.. so that ribena nano n ur malta boley combine.. I untung.. hahaha..
Deletekakaka... boleh dirunding. Tapi kena bangun awal lak. Takleh start time rentung. ;p
Deletethe watch seems to be cool with build in GPS function~
ReplyDeleteSomething that runners need for their runs and training. ^^
DeleteThank you for visiting. :)
I also agree. that is really a canggih watch..
Deletewhat can it do beside running exercise?
other exercise also can measure?
It's a GPS watch. Anything you want to count distance, can use la. Also it can monitor your heart rate.
DeleteIt's a triathlon watch. Running, Swimming & Cycling.
wah lau weh 8.34am baru start rum till 11am plus...hot ler..
ReplyDeletealamak...didnt know you like cincalok else borong the other day from melaka
DeleteToday weather good. Cool until around 10.00. :-D
DeleteI love cencalok but only me eat. The other two tarak makan one.
Sat weather was very nice..
Deletecold and windy not so hot..
I had a great jog too..
Good for you! :)
DeleteToday's the opposite. SO sunny....
betul got pisang relay ah???by the time finish the pisang already lembik liao ler.....
ReplyDeleteThat's the fun part la. See how well your "hand job" is, to handle pisangs. Wakaka
DeleteBTW Ru, I won't and really won't mishandle any bananas during the relay. Cannot promise after the run though. :-D
that is deend on how pro are you and your hand..
Deletewell with the hand only meh?
You want to use what, SP? ;p
DeleteLSD: Lovely Sexy Diva.. just like what Mak Rempinator is!!
ReplyDeletetersembur air reading that! LOL
Deleteluckily just sembur air.. not pancut air xxx.. wakakakaka!!
DeleteApa difference between sembur and pancut? Kekeke
Deleteof course got difference.. sembur means spray, pancut means shoot.. the latter one uses and gives more force!! :D
DeleteAh Boy clever lah. *pat his head*
Deletenow SK is good in Malay grammar..
Deleteexpert in air keluar masuk..
I bet not only air la. Apa apa keluar masuk pun expert. Miahaha
Deletehaiyoyo, you started your run so late today, luckily it was rather quite cooling today huh?? or shall i say because the sun wasn't scorching hot today, so it's considered cool?? hehe, and i can feel some CNY breeze starting already..
ReplyDeleteLately, it's always a late run.
DeleteBut today really lucky lah. Last week totally cannot run : heavy rain all morning. o.O
CNY approaching, must rain kaw-kaw right?
eih, no no no.. CNY is supposed to be very very hot.. and just before CNY, there will be breeze and wind.. have you noticed this?? it never failed to happen lah..
DeleteYalah.. I mean rain before CNY then habis all the rain for CNY.
DeleteThe whether has gone bananas too. it rained few tines during CNY. Crazy la....
DeleteAnay,
DeleteListen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen
You made an error. Or is it a mistake.
Weather la. Not whether.
xD
Oh my idiot iPad auto correction again....hmmm
Deleteeih, this is home cooking or tapao from outside?? i just love the fish lah, looks so scrumptious!! but then i think i saw some "terung layu" at the side, hahaha!! the terung layu because losing too much water and sodium after the run?? :p
ReplyDeleteTerung layu because it kena boiled lah... hahaha
DeleteI like that terung tau. Looks layu, but not totally lembik. Still got crunch. ;p
replenishing sodium with cincaluk?? errr, why not salted fish or salted eggs?? got sodium and also protein mah~~ :p
ReplyDeleteBecause no salted fish or eggs la, that's why. ;)
Deleteaiyah, malta in coca-cola glass!! so salah lah.. they are competitors lah, though not direct competitors.. and i thought what is that green thing behind the malta bottle, rupa-rupanya Raimie's shoulder, i thot got "hunt-too" lah~~ :D
ReplyDeleteThen? I don't have a Guinness glass. xD
DeleteApa hunt-too in the middle of the day? ;p
pisang relay?? who the hell came out with this idea?? i am afraid when the runners get too kan cheong during the run, they will ramas ramas the bananas, either get it mashed in their hands, or the force makes the banana to sembur out of the skin, and the winner just brings back the banana skin at the finishing line.. like that disqualified also??
ReplyDeletethat's why your hand-job must be good. wakaka
DeleteHandle with care. Raba raba only. Cannot ramas. Must be gentle. ;p
They will look like monkeys running! We at hhbc will sponsor Kote Mamak for Lina...long and black ones!
DeleteLater all other monkeys see, they jealous pulak! Muahaha
Deletehaven't heard of pisang relay before..that would be interesting. At the end of the race, it would be fun to see whose banana is crushed.. :D
ReplyDeleteSure will.
DeleteIt's gonna be a fun one. :)
I also like ikan bakar..
ReplyDeletethey got put ABC sauce ..make it sweet ..
Good..
Don't like sweet. I love salty! xD
DeleteIkan Bakar should be saltish and spicy....baru ada Ummph! !!
DeleteOoooooo...love the food! The fish looks awesome! Yum! Yum!
ReplyDeleteSimply grilled talapia and ikan kembung. But very yummy. :)
DeleteCencaluk! Dah lama tak makan. Kadang2 I masak 'Ayam Cencaluk'. Hmm must find the recipe again hehe.
ReplyDeleteI was running while occasionally wiping my nose today. Not a good after-run-sight hahaa
Share share share recipe, PLEASE! :)
DeleteI time run takde snot tp stop je, mcm paip bocor.
Flu ke? Get well soon! Jgn kesat hingus dengan baju Huduh! wakaka
Awesome LSD workout Kak Lina... Me myself, haven't done any 21KM++ LSD for this year... coz normally i started running late n the sun is microwave hot n crispy already... Only afford to do 16KM ish last two weeks... T..T
ReplyDeleteBtw, luv the overcast weather last Sat, drizzling a lil bit around Bangi - Serdang. Awesome for outdoor activities like hiking too..
Wahh... antoo cencaluk and petai rupanya kak lina nih... sayangi makanan warisan turun temurun kita... ngeri nak makan cencaluk, udang2 geragau tuh looks alive n had these creepy eyes... @..@ yet super salty... goshhh.... =D
Kalau lari time dah panas, kena adjust pace and be careful about hydration la kan? :)
DeleteI eat budu, cencaluk, tempoyak, petai, jering, kerdas... dan dalam kata lain, apa orang Melayu makan, I makan. ^^
Minggu ni LSD berapa KM? :)
my wiken? ber LSD jugak.. 8.20km :)
ReplyDeleteselebihnye..jln2 ukur mall :)
LSD dlm mall pun membakar kalori... kannnn???? :)
DeleteHi Lina! :)
ReplyDeleteWow.. good job on your run! Nasib the weather was accomodating, I tak sanggup run kalau dah naik matahari. LOL!
Reading this reminds me of getting back on the running wagon. I put it off from April last year when I found out I was preggers, sbb hubby tak bagi. Although my doc said okay as long as I didn't over exert myself. Now, I feel like starting again soon. But le bambino is still barely 2 mths. Dah boleh lari, time pulak takde.
Anyways, that food looks really good. Oh I love cencaluk. Haven't had that in a while. YUMMMERSSS!
The Pisang Relay sounds really cute though.. Feel like nak join! IF I can ever find the time. -_-" Just thinking about it is exhausting. hahahaha
Hah hah
DeleteThese days, I memang start lari pukul 8.00am and usually habis pukul 10-10.30. Itu just 15-16K jelah...
Kalau hari tu panas, mau nak nangis nak habiskan that 22K but the show must go on. Lari saja. Sapa suruh bangun lambat. Wakaka
Take it easy dearie. Tak lari finishing line dikejar. Kekeke
Kot letak treadmill satu kat rumah senang sikit nak cilok masa lari, kot? ;p
Pisang relay - fun fun run sajer.... no timing no pressure. Tu yang best. I'm gonna enter with hubby and son. Just run for the heck of it and the plus : nanti everybody gets a medal. An incentive for Son.
Hari tu dia dapat a limited medal at World Diabetes Walkathon, happy gila dia. :)
Anyways, take care. Give baby a kiss from Auntie Lina! ^^
