Brooks Shoes And Brooks Half Marathons
Two of them, as a matter of fact.
I went to the Curve on Saturday to collect a pair of shoes that I won with the "Blog with Brooks" and helped a friend to collect his too as he was away, running a race in Singapore.
Winners with Brooks representative. Three lucky bloggers won the Transcend model. That's a RM759.00 a pair shoes! Lucky fellas.
Me and my (much cheaper) Pure Flow 3 shoes that I won. Still happy. I like Brooks' Pure Project range.
But dang! Gonna be hard to match the shoes with my outfit! LOL
Me and Andy, from Brooks Malaysia. Such a leng-chai, hor? hehehe Me? I looked like I just finished shopping with those two bags of shoes, right?
The prize-giving was done on March 1st, which was also the day of REPC for Brooks Half-Marathon in Bukit Jalil which will be held on Mar 9th.
Quite a subdued crowd so race kit collection was a breeze, I guess. Maybe the crowd will pick up on Sunday?
I didn't sign-up for the race because of the prohibitively high fees so I just went kaypoh at the "expo" area looking at stuff that were sold.
Zaini came after work and we went and kaypohed again. He met a few familiar faces while I went around snapping photos.
There's also a registration counter open for Brooks Kuantan Half-Marathon. Registration for the event/race is still open and the race will be held on May 11th.
There aren't that many races in the East Coast so if you are looking for a panoramic race in Pahang, why not try this half-marathon? After run, can relax by the beach there. ^^
I was tempted to join as it'll be held in my home state, Pahang but I've already registered for the Kuala Kangsar Run (which I probably DNS anyway). I know a couple of friends joining this event. Wish I can... but no $$$ to fork out to go for a holiday run there. huk huk huk
Whoever is going... I am so JEALOUS!
wah, finally Mak Glam was there to collect her shoes!! fuyoh, Pure Flow 3, eksyen lah!! and got one leng chai she met and took photo with (before Zaini arrived and saw it), hehe!!
ReplyDeleteso that RM759 Transcend model is the orangy one, held by the gentleman and the lady next to you?? so where was another pair?? your blue Pure Flow 3 also nice mah.. free one sure nice lah, haha~~
aiyoh, so nice can kaypoh kaypoh around at those registration counter, and good for Zaini to bump into his friends lah..
so really not making a second consideration for the Kuantan run?? eih, just treat it as a family outing while you take the opportunity to run, rather than purposely for the run while you have the chance for a family outing lah.. put it that way, then the purpose is different and you have a valid reason right?? :p
hehehe... before hubby sampai la can gatal mah! LOL
DeleteYup, Trasncend is/are the orange ones. The Pure Flow 3 are the two I held.
The Run... aiyoh, gotta travel la. Banyak cost.
ahem....must highlight this post to brooks...maybe if you wear their shoes to run they can sorta sponsor your cost ...muhahaha...
DeleteBetul what sk said leh. Previous year kan you say run sambil vacation.....
SK, it was all meticulously planned on her timing before hubby appeared! This is smart time management la! I salute.
DeleteThis year I'm not joining many runs la Meow. Need to spend time with son and study though we haven't been doing that much so far. huhuhu
DeleteAnay,
You understand me lah! LOL
No picture of the expo's stuffs?
ReplyDeleteGot but not putting them up here.
DeleteAm not helping them sell anything LOL
Wow, you're always running! How to catch up with you??
ReplyDeleteI run very slow ;)
DeleteI'm slower :D
DeleteYang penting, lari. Ye tak? :)
DeleteI am slowest yet I reached the end, not before resting and snacking always.
DeleteRun and have fun. I like that Anay :)
DeleteFuiyoh...nearly rm800 a pair . so lucky bloggers leh. ahem yours cheaper i think min also at least rm400 rm500 lo
ReplyDeleteGood shoes doesn't come cheap. hihihi
DeleteDifficult to match outfit ka? I see the colour like normal only.
ReplyDeleteColour normal la.
DeleteThe thing is, my baju mostly are red, pink one...
gosh. I know you are tall but he is so much TALLER than you....if i stand next to both of you I'll be dwarf LOL
ReplyDeleteMeow, I also had exact thoughts!!! I even tried to compare myself with him!! Siapa menang?
DeleteI'm at Andy's shoulder level.
DeleteAnay... can't remember. Have to look at our old photos la :P
Now after reading this post, I am very keen to drop by this outlet to see the Brooks collections again in more detail. The Penang Hill hike during CNY gave me 2 black toes, no thanks to the bad experience & shoes. Anyway, I was conned into hiking when the ladies told me it was just a spin around Botanical Gardens to see monyet in action! Muahahahaha
ReplyDeleteBrooks got a few outlets. One in Sunway, one at 328 in PJ, One at Curve. Can also buy Brooks shoes at Gardens Mall. You can actually ask them to bring shoes and try them at your home one, you know...
Deletecongrats on your win. With the new shoes, you can run more !
ReplyDeleteI wish! Lol
DeleteThanks ;)
I have to agree, the race fees for Brooks is simply exorbitant for a half marathon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win. Using the shoe for MWM?
Isn't it? It's almost the same as a Full Marathon fees, if not more! @.@
DeleteNah, I'm sticking with my trustee red shoes for MWM.
Maybe an Fm later in the year, once I got myself comfy in it ;)
Congratulations Sis on your winning... So lucky of you to have that Brooks shoes... Missed my Pure Flow 2 before although I had to stop wearing them as they worn out quickly due to the minimalist feature...
ReplyDeleteNice blue colour... Now u have more choices of shoes for your weekly trainings.... Yayyy ;D
