Running Kaki

Last Sunday made an appointment for a long run with Chin. He decided to go to Ayer Itam Dam. So woke up early and wait at the junction where I am staying. Got to know another runner Tan (right) and then met up with another guy from India, Sam (middle).


It was a pleasant run as the road curved around the reservoir. It is shady, and cooling. There are some acceptable up and down gradient. I was told the loop is about 3km. We made 7 loops that morning and this is the longest run I ever did after the KLIM 2007. Now the legs are itchy again. Next plan Chin suggest to run the road hugging the seaside. It will be another good running ground. Keep you saliva dripping.

On my own, again

It had been 3 months more from my last post. Last three months were busy months as I got a job that run from 6am till 8.30pm daily. 7 days a week.

Now got myself up north to cari makan. Last Sunday drove to Penang Island. Got myself a small room. This will be my mini dog house throughout my duration here.

The location is Relau, just near to PISA. Let me show you around.

The hall is small and is facing the hill.

A look from the balcony. Nice view, leh and windy too.

Of course there is a pool and hopefully you can swim in the elongated pond also. This will make a good training facilities for Ironman.

This what I love most. A running track around the hill side. There is a 500m uphill and flat around the hill side.
Yesterday I went for an evening run after work. I ran outside round few blocks of apartment before I turn into this hillside track. The loop approximately 1.8km. Made 3 repeated loops and hopefully can do more often. To make a sub-4 in Penang Bridge Marathon you need to train in Penang and breath its air. Cheer !
