Not noticing that the year ending soon with just a week or so , time is pasting so fast just like a blink of an eye. Today is just a great day with nice cloudy morning and no rushing to office as I am on my annual leave. I just finish cleaning my clothes and going thru the chat box and read some interesting stuff of some friends. Not much of running was done this couple of months as was quite busy in the office and moreover injury has not been totally healed.
Did only light running with slow pace, managed to cover 2 times Sri Hartamas this month since early August and glad I did it without much discomfort. Hope to run do it again this weekend and if no ache with my knee maybe to attempt the GE20k.
For this year I managed to travel a bit, I went to Macau and Hong Kong last month it was my first visit to Hong Kong and the experience is a memorable one and if any possibility I will go again.
I am looking forward to year 2008 and may it be a better year for the whole wide world.

PAR Trail Run
With exactly one week from now the PAR Run will take place at the very own training ground for most Pacesetters and Pacemakers the Lake Gardens. PAR is the most exciting run organised by the Pacemakers annually, the last was held at the KLCC park.
The run is organised in the form of relay consist of 4 runners to a team and a reserve, each runner have to complete the stipulated distance depending on the venue set. The previous venue at KLCC was 1.3km per loop and each runner was made to cover 2 loops which equivalent to 2.6km and since this year is held at the Lake Gardens and the loop is 2.3km therefore each runner has to run only 1 loop.
I was force to take part in this year's event by Ronnie , honestly speaking I am worried as running relay event is not my preference. This morning we did the time trails and it seem some of the runner did very well and this has got Ronnie to be vary about other teams on the actual day.
As for me I hope only to maintain the gap and the position nothing more nothing less and hopefully the anchor man of our team could spring some surprises.

"Tsunami Run"
Received confirmation thru SMS from Rachael aka PM21 to meet at KL Sentral 10.30am as Jack Toh is driving his Avanza to PD.
Pack my barang (stuff) on Saturday morning and took LRT to Sentral at 10.00am and saw Alonso and Pui Tien waiting for PM1 and PM21, a short wait and Jack was waiting at the opposite side of the road. The ride was smooth but a little jammed towards Nilai and Seremban caused by people going for Cheng Beng( respect for the death). Nevertheless we reach Lukut town for lunch searching for the King Bun ( Lucky Seafood Restaurant) recommended by Pui Tien. It was awesome and very delicious curry chicken "rapped" in a bun.
After lunch we headed to Sunshine Bay Resort which prior booking were made by PM21. The apartment has a very nice seaview and fit just nice for 6 of us. Alonso was kind to drive to collect the bibs.
Ai Ling our Singapore friend arrived at 3.30pm to check in and shortly after we headed for a swim at the Straits of Malacca, its was a pleasant and relaxing moment. Joviet Sim informed that he just finished his meeting and making his way to PD and probably be late so he will not join us for dinner.
We had dinner at Lukut town once again and had some seafood, it turn out to be moderate but no complaints. After dinner was just plain resting and eating deesert.
PM1 gave me a moring call at 5.00am when I was enjoying my sweet dream. The race was schedule to start at 7.00am sharp and we headed to the starting line at 6.00am and was one of the many few one to arrive. A little short while loads of buses and cars started to arrived.
By 6.45am it started to drizzle but we kept being optimistic that it would not be heavy and we were wrong just before the start off the rain starts to pour and all of us were soaking wet and our shoes became heavy like rocks.
7.05am the race was set off and the rain was no mercy for us it just kept on pouring and pouring and to make things worst the road was puddle everywhere and our visibility was also compromised. We had to battle the strong wind as well from the side and the front. I was telling myself that this is really silly to run in such conditions and was worried not able to complete the race but anyhow I kept on going and after the U turn I felt better and managed to hold on till the finishing line. Glad to have made it and collected my medal.
Overall the trip was ok and hope my fitness could be better for next run.
Thanks to PM21 for arranging the accommodation and Jack Toh for transport and PM1 for registration.
