MPIB Run - 2013

First race of 2013, it's MPIB Run 2013 for 12KM distance. It's probably the first and the last race for short distance race in 2013. Previously, I always wanted to join race organized by Runners Malaysia, but somehow i missed it previous year. So come 2013, no matter what, how, why, where and when, i told myself i must join! 

As expected, MPIB run never fails to excite runners! I was surprised to see red balloons were given FREE to runners. So, without any hesitation, i went to get 1 balloon and tie to my hand! wahaha... Running with flying balloon....   

It's been such a long time since my last running photo during a running race.... Plenty of photographers were taking photo during a race!

Dont you just like love the balloons?

Runners Malaysia - Beginner to running

Runners Malaysia - A group of runners who have their usual short distance of 4 to 6 KM run on every Saturday  7.30am meet up at Bukit Aman Car Park (which at Lake Garden). Sad to mention it here that, due to lack of new beginners joining and everyone are progress to next level, there's only left one or two session runners running this 4 to 6 KM route on Saturday 7.30am. (it's sound bad, but it's a good news for runners)

Glad that saw this photo below posted by Jamie (one of the co-founder of Runners Malaysia together with Mr Wan) in Runners Malaysia Facebook group.

I dont know what's is coming up, but with the title "My First Run Clinic" it's going to be not your ordinary meet and run sessions. :)

So anyone who set their target to run healthy in 2012 next year can follow updates on Runners Malaysia Facebook group for latest development.

Orange Run 2011 @ 24 July 2011

Orange run. It's used to be free on previous year. This year 2011, they charge a nominal charges of RM5.00. Guess the inflation and cost of organising the run is inflate faster than the budget. 

Of all the races, I choose Orange Run, because it's the only run that start from The Curve. :) 

Group photo with Runners Malaysia's founder Mr Wan is on second  from left. 

I was first meet Mr Wan about 3 years back, it's 2008 August when I'm joining Runner's Malaysia Beginner program at Bukit Aman Car Park on Saturday morning 7.30am.  Back then I'm was a "Fat boy" as always mentioned by Mr Wan. Now after 3 years into running I'm the "signature finished product", a graduate from Runner's Malaysia beginner program who just completed 100KM Sundown Ultra Marathon 2011 recently. 

  I'm so happy im able to transform to be a healthier lifestyle which start from Runner's Malaysia. :)

MY K-Swiss Launch & Intro Session...

K-Swiss was founded by 2 Swiss brothers who became avid tennis players after moving to Southern California. In 1966, they introduced the first all-leather tennis shoe, the K-Swiss "Classic".

Today, K-Swiss premium sports heritage has expanded from tennis footwear, to also lifestyle, running, training, nautical and free running footwear that stands up to the performance demands of world-class athletes and trendsetters alike.

And for over 30 years, K-Swiss and Ironman have been symbols of quality, endurance and performance. Together, K-Swiss and Ironman create superior products for the multisport athlete.

The K-Swiss Running Club has been a global phenomenon in bringing together normal individuals to experience running as part of a healthy lifestyle. And besides that, to educate and to motivate fellow runners has always been the main objective. Running shouldn't be painful, yet it should be enjoyed and this is where we are to help fulfill this.

Come join us this coming 14 August 2010, where Malaysia will introduce our very own K-Swiss Running Club or simply MY K-Swiss in short. A global initiative to promote running and a community running project endorsed and supported by K-Swiss, Runners Malaysia and Runnerz Circle.
