Jing Han's School Sport Day

Today is Han's school sport day and she has to skip the Dharma class. Since her teacher told her all the students have to report to school at 7am, she has to wake up as normal school day, i.e. 6am. After a simple breakfast for her, arrived school at 6.50am.

Many VIPs and parents still not here yet.

Han is at the far blue tent as she is in blue group.

After marching, students are here to listen to speech given by Headmaster and the other 2 VIPs.

Zoom in to see what she is doing there. She participated in gunny bag game but got the 4th place among the 4 colour teams. 😃😃 It does not matter, just a sport game. Sport spirit is more important than wining the game.

One of her habits, day dreaming  :)  :)

National Geographic Earth Day Run @ 22/4/18

Yes, finally.......the day has arrived for the 15km run....It's also the first time National Geographic organized the Earth Day Run in Malaysia.

Went to collect the race kits yesterday. Since the organizer is Gamuda Land. It's usual for them to do some marketing....the collection place was at TwentyFive7 at Kota Kemuning. It's a huge property projects and all are high end houses. The Ridge House Superlink priced at RM985k after 8% discount. We saw the show house and was nicely designed. However, kids wanted the Flexi Superlink, guess how much is the selling price ? RM1.49 mil after 8% less. They really know what is the best 😁

   Buggy cars fetching customers from car park to the gallery.

They enjoy sitting the car.... :)

Race is about to start....

Yes, completed the run with a finisher medal  😊

Main stage and many booths were set up there...

One of the booths is National Geographic to educate and promote zero waste.👍👍

 Of course the main sponsor has a few booths there to promote their projects.

Free ice-cream...but long queue

 Since it's earth day, no paper cups or bottled water provided. All runners were advised to bring their own bottles to refill the water.

 Petrosains, the Discovery Centre also has its booth there.

 We are reminded to recycling, to save the earth.

  14.51km in 1 hour 31 minutes. Beyond the target I have set for myself....within 1 hour 30 minutes.

Lucky number for this run

Finisher for every runner who has crossed the finishing line.

The route for 15km

Timing details....1005 kcal was burnt..but it only takes 3 Roti Canai kosong to replenish the calories. I got back my 376 calories with a breakfast of Roti Bawang Telur.  😁😁

Jogging @ 20/4/18

Last training for this week.....2 days to go for the National Geographic Earth Day Run. Yes, I am ready...

Jogging @ 18/4/18

It's Wednesday. 4 days to go for my next mission......

Jogging @ 15/4/18

Supposed to have a soccer game with some friends, started to rain at 4.45pm, followed by thunder storm, my soccer game was cancelled. At 6pm, the rain stopped. Decided to go for jogging. I had a roti telor bawang this morning and fried kuey teow in the afternoon around 3.30pm. Stomach was feeling not so good during the run. Many times, my devil mind told me to stop at 3km 👊but the angel mind encouraged me not to........finally, completed 5km.  😉  

Slow pace compare to last Friday's jog

Did not jog along Persiaran Kuala Langat since it's evening and more cars compare to morning.

Jogging @ 13/4/18

Yes, it's Friday. Time flies.....Have I made used of the time in the past few days ? Yes, one of the things I done was telling myself no matter how tire or sleepy, I must woke up and go for the jog.

So, I done it again this morning....started my jog at 4:54am. And I jogged faster today compare to the pace I did on Wednesday. Can I keep up with this pace ?

Stand-Chart Marathon Result 2018

Yes, the result is out today....also some of the pictures taken by some camera men during the run. How well was my 21km running achievement ? Let's have a look....

My target was to in the top 10% position....let's do some mathematics.  Total runners in my category (Half-Marathon) was 11,893 (according to stand-chart data). My overall position was 2340, it means that I was only in the 19.7% runner who was ahead of the rest runners.

Let's see the Rank, how far I have achieved.

I calculated the total runners from the list provided by Stand-Chart website, number of runner in HM Malaysian Veteran category was 1,857. My rank is 526. Meaning, I am in the top 28.3% who was ahead of the rest of the Malaysian Veteran runners. 

This is a good start for my half-marathon, let see if I can make it to the top 10% for my overall ranking in the PJ Half Marathon in July 18. But I have to do more researches to know how I can prepare better for my long distance running skills. During the run on Sunday, I found that I got the stamina but both my leg started not to listen to me command. I have to walk for a short while and then run again. Kept repeating this sequence after the 11km.....I believe if I can overcome this obstacles, I can achieve my target in my next run.

Anyway, let's see how I looked like during my run.....

  Can you see me ?

About to cross the finishing line.....my blood has dried up then.

Was I that serious until could not give a smile when crossing the finishing line ?

 And finally, I am proud to have this certificate for my achievement !
