I am so ashamed by the PM

Tuesday morning jog
determined to get the mileage this morning after a lazy monday due to rain and mild sore throat.
Woke up at 6am, sneak out of the room so not to wake up Ashlee. Drank a glass of water and hit the road.
Did a loop with u-turn at 3km distance from house to PutraHeight.
Tried to pick up the pace when running but still watching the breathing and posture. The pace is tougher then usual but manageable.
Time is 37m25s. Not bad, but Target is 36min. Will try again.
Felt good for forcing myself to get up and run this morning.

Saturday "interstate" morning ride (3/April/2010)
Saturday morning. Woke up hungry, made a small bowl of oat meal and left house after saying good bye to Megan.
Got to Kajang toll by 6.45am. Good time. but miss the turning to get coffee at McD at the highway. No coffee before the ride, fearing the worst. :)
The party arrived at the RV point slightly late, quickly setup the bike and managed to starting rolling at 8am sharp, I will prefer to start at 7am.
The entire route starts from Semenyih sentral bus station go up to the highway towards Seremban and turn off at Manting towards Lenggeng and Broga, had a meal stop at some nasi lemak place (I will prefer something better) and heads back to the car.
Total distance is about 54km, took about 3.5hours because of some waiting for MTB rider.
I had a close call when foot slip off the pedal when pushing hard going up a small hill. really need to consider getting a right pedal and shoe.
IT was a hot hot morning. The picture will show how hot and un-ready i was to put on some sun-block. Lesson learned.
After the ride, rush home to take a quick shower before heading to F1 qualifying.

A busy Saturday (27/March/2010)
Saturday morning, woke up at 5am, after a late TT with some new friends.
After couple of peanut butter sandwiches, a small bowl of oat meal, hit the road with Ee, drove from USJ to Gombak OAH for the usual ride up to Genting Sempah.
This time, only 4 of us be riding. Me, Ee, Chai and Indran. Everything is ok, except due to the lack of sleep and lack of energy, didn't felt that good, but still match the previous time of 1h5m from OAH to the mechanic shop near Genting Sempah.
Got home around Noon after a heavy brunch of TeoChew BKT. Excellent way to recover and carbo load.
Took a nap with Ashlee and try to recover and rest.
At 7pm, drove to Cyberjaya for Energizer Night Race. I didn't registered for the event, but a colleague has an extra bib, I was thinking, why not. Even though I still have jelly knees after the ride in the morning. But I wanted to experience running in the race environment, absorb the atmosphere.
9pm, the race begins. First 1km was a little uncomfortable as my muscle was tired and cold. Yeah, I am such a beginners, no warm up at all. After that, I was getting into the mood and just keep putting one leg in front of another. The KM starts to get by (BTW, bad signage, can't tell the distance covered for 10k runner). Bumped into some friends and chat a little. I was determine to make sure I got back before the cut off time of 90 minutes, easy feat for some, but I am glad I able to complete within the time.
Final time on my watch : 73m25s.
Not bad for me. 6 months ago, I need 2 stops to do 1km run.
Next race : 25/April/2010 NST-MPSJ 10k run.

OAH to GS ride on saturday
After almost 3 full months without riding, took the Trek up to OAH with bunch of office and riding friends to Genting Sempah mechanic shop. Round trip of about 30km, more of less.
Didn't suffer much except the 1km between 37-38KM from Bentong (the milestone is a good marker), when one see 38km to Bengong milestone, prepare to grind, hard!!!
Anyway, good to be back on the saddle. Already plan for the next visit this 27/March and maybe u-turn at the air-panas on the way to Bentong.
