5 days til Sundown

I just finished my 5k run around PWTC just a few short runs I need to do as part of the Sundown Marathon this weekend. It was a cool & wet training run as the rain already ended when I started my run. It was not tiring at all compared to some of the days where It was hot & dry night run. I hope this sat. we have a cool and few rainshowers before the race. It's 5 days to go til sundown and already excited to go back and run to singapore again but this time its happening at night. I wonder how my 3 teammates are doing with their own training? I do hope they are doing ok and in good shape come saturday night.

Last few days in KL

Its been a long while since my last blog update. I have been laying low in my running these past month due to an injury. Since the year 2008 until today I only finished 2 races , and the 2nd will probably my last run here in KL before finally I settled back to PI . The 2 races I have where I got some running buddies who also enjoys the passion for running. Below are pics from back to back NB races from Klang and Pacesetters.
