Back To Basic Run
Pacesetter Back to Basic Run. Sep 8th, 2013. Min run 10km, max 30km or run as much as you can within the permitted 4.5hours.
No need to be kiasu though. This wasn't a race. It's just an organised LSD that you paid to enter. At the end of the run, runners get their medal and t-shirt. No frills, no hooha because the main focus is to RUN! To prepare for the upcoming Standard Chartered KL Marathon which is only 3 weeks away. *gasp* I am so not ready to tackle another half-marathon this time! @.@
There wasn't an official starting time, runners can start running from 5.30am till 11.00am, though the last advisable starting time was 6.30am. We arrived after the flag-off, parked our car like 3km away from the starting point and walked around before making our way to the starting point. Bumped into a lot of familiar faces who had already started their run way earlier.
Like Bro Fuad and also Uncle Oliver. Both an inspiration. ^^

This crazy fella did 34km! o.O
Awesome training, Neoh!
While I run, Zaini found a spot just after a climb and proceeded to take photo of runner friends. :-)
The venue at MAEPS, MARDI Serdang was very nice. Very picturesque. Rolling hills! A totally awesome place to run. I hope there are more running events to be held here in the future.
I was happy that even after not running for ages, I managed to tackle all the hill section without stopping for walk breaks though I did run very very slowly and at certain points, I ran of the grassy area because it was softer.
We kinda did a relay running that day. I didn't want to do much running but it was a pity to go home so early, so after I finished my run; Zaini took my bib and ran. Sorry organizer!
While he was away, it was my turn to ge behind the lens and pretend be a paparazzi pulak.
And of course, when all of us had finished, time for more photos. And makan. Tau foo fa. Hot Hot Hot and very sweet tau foo fa. Nasi lemak. Watermelons.
Zaini finishing up, goofing around too. Nice puffy face! xD
One for the family album, with the famous Tey. Tey gave some great advice on running too. Thanks Tey! ^^

You guys are great! Super healthy. Another run keeps you healthier...I salute you guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks Willie.
DeleteIt's an enjoyable activity. :)
It's funny to look at the face of Bro. Fuad. Do u know why? It's the white beard...very catchy. Aha!
ReplyDeleteThe white beard guy is Uncle Oliver. 70+ y.o. and still runs marathons! The 42KM kind one. :)
DeleteThree weeks after this run is another run? Standard Chartered run? OMG! You guys are seriously addicted to running. But of course! You guys are way healthier than me, who only ride an iron horse. Vroom......
ReplyDeleteWe're running together as a team next week at McD's Olympic Day Fun Run. Just a 3K run but it'll be fun.
DeleteThen, yes. It's SCKLM. :)
Ride iron horse also can enjoy the fresh air, right? :)
Good to see you in action again!
ReplyDelete:)
Thanks Neoh. Good to be out running again too! :)
DeleteI like this kind of run. At the end of the run, everyone gets a medal.
ReplyDeleteEveryone gets a medal, provided they earn it by running at least the min amount. :-)
DeleteI am just normal other runner,great to see u whole family come out support and cheers for runners in B2B 30k.
ReplyDeleteET Tey
You're definitely a cut above the rest, Tey. Your selfless act through any runs along with your photos taking inspire many runners.
DeleteIt's always a joy to run a race and see you. :-)
i've seen this abbreviation LSD so many times, and i remember you have explained it before, yet it's still so "running technical" to me that i kept forgetting what it is.. hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteand being SK, i again get my good friend Google to help.. ooopsss, Long Slow Distance, ah yes!! that it is~~ :D
Ah Boy good boy. Made the effort to google. Yeah, when runners talk about LSD, they're talking about ling, slow distance running and not about drugs.;-)
Deletei always go google for information when i want to know something lah.. it's just on our fingertips so why not?? not all the time need to ask people right if we can do it.. :)
DeleteAh boy is good.
Deletesome people rather demand for info than look for it themselves.
5:30am 6:30am or even 11:00am on a weekend, so early and probably i have not even started my activity for the day!! how healthy to rise so early in the morning and get your day started!! hmmm, maybe i shall try to wake up at 6am one day, do some blog hopping for a couple of hours, and then back to sleep till near noon!! muahahaha~~ :D
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteTotally beats the purpose of waking up early! :-P
Ah Boy should run at night lah!!!
Deletegreat fun taking photos huh?? and i see all the happy faces, not exhausted at all after the run, but indeed so refreshed and energized and rejuvenated!! right, indeed exercising in the morning helps, i remember i used to hit the gym before work many years ago and i felt the same.. not now anymore~~ :p
ReplyDeleteI used to hit the gym st 6am before too! Haven't done that in ages also... ;-)
DeleteGo slow ya...don't over do it
ReplyDeleteAdoi...maeps serdang ah....I went fir bbws in the hall there jln ady tired...you run there some more. I remember some of thecroads are really small
DeleteWe ran on those two-way roads la. It's organized so of course the organiser won't make us run in small roads.;-)
DeleteWah! How far you parked Meow? But then, some parking area there are quite far la...
This kind of run is unusual and is suitable for uncles like me! LOL
ReplyDeleteFor me, any run is suitable for anybody and all ages too. ;-)
DeleteI ran only 5km yet my body was sore! I blamed the drizzles which caused "angin" to masuk.
ReplyDeleteSure or not? :-D
DeleteBestnyaaaaa...
ReplyDeletetahun ni melepas lagi. Sobs.
Harap2 tahun depan dapat join.
Takpe. Sabo Sabo.
DeleteTak 2014, masuk 2015. Kan?:-D
Memang best Kak Nannoor... The ladies runners ramai yang join nih, nampak kak Guy n Zarinah also were having fun accumulating mileage yesterday.. It was a no frill, hassle free small event, totally back 2 basics... Wish you were there... =D
ReplyDeleteSeronok dapat tengok kak Lina kembali aktif dalam bidang larian... PF free finally... Hopefully it will stay away much2 longer...
Have fun running McD Olympic Run with Zaini n Raimie ok... Oh, kenapa muka Raimie ada lebam kat pipi tuh? Terjatuh ke? Poor Raimie...
Raimie is a boy. Needs to be tough.Come to think of it, girls pun better tough. Perfectly normal to have bruises n scratches. :-D
DeleteYes indeed, having bruises is ok... As long as there's no permanent scar on his face.. Boys and girls need to be toughen up equally... Dah bole masuk RMC nanti lah nih... =P
DeleteI don't really mean having bruises is ok, per se but kids being kids... It's kinda part and parcel of life. You have to experience to learn.
DeleteAbsolutely true... I fell down once on a rusted zinc roof and had a cut above my left knee and was rushed to the nearest hospital by my aunt n uncle... And I end up with a wide stitches... Ni lah padah nya main kejar2 kucing with my cousins when I was a little kid... ;D

DeleteI'll have the watermelon and watch you guys run. :D
ReplyDeleteGlad you're running again, but take it easy, ne?
Eat Nasi Lemak women & watch your cholestero level go up instead. Hihihi
DeleteTaking it wayyyyy easy now. I'm so out of shape. And fat. And dumpy. And heavy. Bpoohooohoooo
I'll go eat some chocs now.
Welcome back Lina! How did it feel? (kaki tu?). Emotionally, I'm sure you must have felt great! Tackle hills lagi tu! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's still a bit iffy. I ran on grassy patches hari tu when I felt a tinge of pain. Tu yg x lari banyak tu.
DeleteBut yeah, it felt soooooo good. :-)
Good also that hubby actually wanted to run too. ;-)
Tough gile lah kaklina.. conquer the hill I tell ya.. kipidap sista.. =)
ReplyDeleteOrang laen lagi tough la. Siap ulang loop tiga-empat kali. Hahaha
DeleteNannoor, sobsss jgk utk tak dpt join..
ReplyDeleteSabar, sabar. Tahun depan leh join. ;-)
DeleteIt's nice to see you and your family with the passion on running. I can't even last a mile..
ReplyDeleteIt start with a single step. I couldn't last a mile too, two years ago.
DeleteNow, I already did 42km. :-)
