Long long break after GE 20k

My life has changed a lot since the arrival of my first baby, Louise Chin. As I've planned before, I'll give up most of my time to take care of her knowing tat I'll be away from her/home due to overseas traveling.








What I had done for the past 5months? Well, life is never a dull moment with a new family member,moreover this is my first time life experience. Chatting with her, milk her, bath her, hug her when she cry, admiring her and of cos extra care handling of the producer - my wife during the confinement month is not an easy task I would say.

I've made to alert every 2-3 hours to take care of baby and tell you what, I lost weight even without hitting the road on regular basis. I do jog around the housing area whenever I feel I was long time not in action. Training schedule is not my priority at all.

To make this right, I told myself I must enter some races to discipline myself. So I've registered for Stan Chart Half Marathon and the favourite event of mine Port Dickson Triathlon.

Knowing my condition is far off from my last year standard, I just have a goal, to complete it without much stress and keep running or exercising. Many cases happening around me telling me that once I stop, my heart will stop soon as many diseases will chase up for those who are running slow in their life indeed!!!

I can imagine myself with big tummy, walking with thigh open (mengkangkang) due to obesity as my dad is one good example for me, I can't let this happen to me and I promised myself that I won't let this happen when I'm still able to exercise, no excuse for not working out.

Then, I realise my running is about time to overhaul. And coincidentally I read http://themiraclemiler.wordpress.com/ and found out that there is a campaign done by New Balance in selected store with selected shoes models.

With the mind of thinking I would get a good running shoes, I went to NB store last night at Garden,Mid Valley. I was once again disappointed by those fake and lousy rules and criteria of such campaign once again. Those "selected models" are outdated, and out fashion I would say. To me, if you really want a runner to buy your product which in fact they will still with you in the future whenever they are still active in running, you got to be sincere in pushing your product, no point bluffing people with those campaign.

I've shifted to Brooks running shoes since last 3 years and I thought I would give NB a try as my first proper running shoes was NB b4. Now, definitely no way for me to buy NB shoes again, NO WAY !!! technology wise, I think Brooks and Adidas put in more effort which I can hear from my friends who is wearing. Sorry to say tat, NO WAY TO NB Shoes!!!

I'll be off to Siem Reap next week and hopefully I can start back my calaory burning exercise there and prepare well for the most anticipate running event in Malaysia. See you all there :)
