It has been a while that I was not as active as before and less fit as I used to be. I am still finding opportunity to run whenever I could, since my "lay off" I have gained 4kg to 5kg and it has effected my endurance and also add more harm to my injured knee. I am still seeking for proper treatment which till now I never could get one, all that I got was advised from orthopedics "STOP RUNNING", how could I accept with such answers, I have been running for more than 20 years and running is my blood and soul. Nevertheless I still runs so much so to keep my fats down and geared up my endurance, not as much as I use to be just 2 times a week.
Lately I came to know few new faces just join the PM family and they are good runners and full of potential, glad to know them, well the PM family is growing from strength to strrength and in no time the membership shall surpass 60.
I had a great run yesterday and happy to complete the 20km without much difficulties and happy with my timing too.

New Year Run 2008
The day or rather the date that everybody have been waiting finally arrived, yes December 31 the last day for the year and everyone was filled with excitement and looking forward to the new year celebration ushering the year 2008. As for me is just another normal day as I had to work on the 31/12/07 mainly because I have exhausted all my annual leave as per my company's directives. My office mates were discussing where to go for count down celebration and to partying all nite long but as for me I need to get to bed early as I need to get up early the next morning (next year) to assit the Network Run as informed by Ronnie to be at Lake Gardens by 6.00am. When to bed at 10.40pm but was awakened by the loud fire works and fire crakers at 12.00pm and could not sleep anymore until I have to switch on the TV to watch Quickee (TV8) until 2.00pm and went back to bed but was still not sleepy and have shut my eyes and pretend to sleep. When I was about heading for the dreamland the alarm rang and is time to wake up (5.20am).
Drove to Lake Gardens and saw KP Tan and the gang already busy arranging the bibs and setting up the tables (6.15am), Ronnie the kan cheong no where to be seen, guess he FFK.
Participants arrived one by one and they collected their bibs and gifts from Phylis and Lai's wife. Everyone was in the happy mood cos is New Year and everyone seem wishing one another and also good to see some "old" friends came back for the run namely Joviet, Wan Lin, Justin the Hopper. Racheal the CEO gave instruction to the time keepers and also setting the medals and trophies table.
The race flaged off by Lai at 7.30am after the boring but important speech by Mr Bulu Man. The ladies were required to run 2 laps and the men 6 laps of each completed 2.3km lap. Water station was available on the 3rd lap onwards.
The time keepers were break into 3 groups comprising 2 person for each group and making sure that each runner completes the required laps. I had fun as time keeper and each time runner passed by I waved at them with my mini Malaysian flag and shouted how many more laps they need to complete.
I choose not to participat this year because I was not fit. After the run breakfast was served and each runner who completes the run was given a "Gold" medal and top finishers was awarded with trophies.
Overall it was an exciting and joyful day to start the year and thanks to all who make the run a success one and looking forward to more runs this year and hopefully I will be able to run again.
