A Visit to the Doctor

Last night i visited the doctor to have a look at the achy feeling behind my nose while running last weekend..it was observed my cheek had swallen on the right side of my face and giving me sinus as well..the doc gave me some antibiotics, and other meds to reduce the swelling too..insyallah i will recover and have a better run next time

Say Hello to A New Journey

it has been a while me not blogging..pretty much had happened..new born and life as it is with its none ending challanges..

shoe- i have bought a shoe sometime earlier this year..a pair of newton trainers..which i wore them today on my maiden run that felt like ages to complete 5km..

nose- somehow my nose felt weired..hard to breath at times and also aching at times..maybe a visit to the doctor tomorrow will do some good atleast a resonable explaination i hope..

ankle- with me being overweight and clumsy, i sprained my ankle on my first 1km today..i am icing them as i am blogging now and hope nothing severe tomorrow..

motivation- running takes alot from you..time, sweat and you name it many others as well..at the moment my motivation has got me running today and hope i end up running my next half if not full marathon in better shape..

Feeling Grateful for a Wonderful Week1 Training

Week1 (w1) is a new start to my new journey in finishing this year with a great half marathon finish hopefully.. That is provided i train constantly.. Lets see what lies ahead and i will keep you posted.. completed w1 with a total of 22km (5+5+6.5+5.5) after almost two years of lay off.. Feet feeling great.. No aching here and there at the moment.. w2 starts today and i hope to finish some where in the 15km range.. One of my ipod nano malfunctioned last week and hope to find a replacement soon, as if the other one i am using now dies, i will be out of music on my runs.. I need music at the moment to get my body back in training momentum.. Happy traing guys & gals :-)

Picture of me taken ages ago when 10k was a piece of cake..

Lets Start All Over Again Amin!

i has been really long since my last run.. after a long holiday back from 'kampung', i have decided to continue my passion for running.. had a great 3k run yesterday..and hope to continue with more soon in these coming months..see yaa..bye

Sanity Check..

hi everyone..its been a while since i stop blogging and running.. yup, too much to juggle and in the end i sacrificed my health in it.. i do hope i can get all sorted out and start running sometime this weekend..

before i forget, i am very proud to inform that we had a new addition to the family.. muhammad hassan is muhammad muhsin new small brother :)

All Most Giving-up

please apologise as i have not updated my blog for quite sometime..

Week43 (my trainers)
my current trainers- cloudsurfer is wearing out fast on the outer sole.. searched for new pair was unsuccessful.. new balance fitted well but the cushioning were not even on both ankle.. ended this week with 26.7k mileage..

Week44 (busy)
i was busy this week and only manage to clock 13.3k mileage..

Week45 (newton)
finally got me self the pair of trainers i was looking for.. at RM410 (after discount), this sir isacc-newton trainers seems a fair bargain.. its the cheapest trainers i have purchased.. i was adjusting to the shoe, hence manage 14.1k mileage..

Week46 (no show)
i was unable to do my PBIM'11 this year as i was in a car accident this week.. its not that i could not run, its just the mood was not there.. ended this week with zilch mileage :(

Week47 (pick-up)
i began to pick-up myself and started training.. was not sure i had it in me.. hopefully i can gain some confidence after some hard weeks.. manage to complete 13k mileage..

Week48 (back)
back on my toes and running as usual.. manage to put up concentration back on my trainings.. piled-up 28.6k mileage this week..

the sacrifice and training- christ maccormack

Did 39.6k Mileage for Week42 :-)

what was i thinking when i signed up for pbim'11?

my post 15k run meal.. yummy yummy..

the missy that poke me twice on my right arm and didn't get my veins..

the third poke was the weirdest of all places where my blood were taken..

pbim'11 is getting closer and closer by the day.. as usual, i am getting more anxious too.. why not.. i am hoping for my best ever PB in halfmarathon.. hehe..

last week, week42, i did a wooping total of 39.6k mileage.. its pretty high if you ask me.. highest ever in my two (2) years of running.. that is why i am going slow this week, week43.. do not want to injure myself.. with pbim'11 less then 3 weeks away..

did a blood test last week @ BP Lab Kuantan.. i have yet to get the results.. will share the results once i have it..

i hope you enjoy this song.. still dont know what jagger means in the song:

Getting Closer to PBIM'11

me after a 13k run..

we are now in week42 and less than 4week before pbim'11.. i am almost in panic mode now.. so near and yet i still not confident of doing a PB.. hmm.. lets just hope my weekly target will account for some good timing..

some facts on my training up to week42.. 10.2k/week average.. 428k mileage completed.. done 206k mileage on my new pair of On CloudSurfer.. completed two (2) half marathons.. on a 24k/week training plan..

here is a song that got me all pumped up on my final 13k sprint today:

Running with my Ipod Nano Again

i have not been training these few days due to work commitments.. somehow i know i will still get my 24k/week training cramped into this week.. i sure do feel confident i can..

before my run today, i looked for my ipod nano.. managed to locate my ipod and downloaded 70 songs into it.. took me a few hours to get the songs from the web.. then i had to upgrade my itunes as i have not been using it for ages!! finally got my ipod ready at around noon time.. since it was way pass noon, i had to do my run after lunch.. had lunch at around 1.30pm and started running at 5pm.. ran 14k in 1hr 41mins.. a pretty long run, i must say.. with a pace of 7.21k/min.. sure feels gud after my run today.. only that i felt a sharp pain in my left ankle @ 4k.. somehow, after a some massage and applying pressure on my ankle, the pain was gone @6k.. why? hmm..

so, after downloading my training into my polar pro trainer, i noticed my run today was mostly at moderate heart rate.. maybe its the ipod causing me to run slow..

enjoy this song which was on most apple adverts..

A Crazy Week; Week40

a black & white pic of me.. not sure why the thumbs up.. hehe.. thanks zul for the pic..

completed week40 with a 30k of training.. sure was not easy.. all it required was some deep thought of not getting a pb for pbim'11 was all it required.. used fear to drive my training.. hehe.. read about training mantra in runnersworld magazine.. mine is a bit crazy.. changes throughout my trainings.. sometimes its... can can can.. float float float.. one two, one two, one two.. in out, in out, in out.. whats yours by the way?

something to rock you monday blues..

LMFAO- Party Rock Anthem

PBIM in 50days; Week40

me on my trainers (ON shoe)

pbim is getting nearer.. less than 50days.. i am still worried that i have not put enough training even though i know that my training this year is harder than last year.. i know i could have done better.. i know i could have put more time and mileage on my training.. well, thats all in the past.. the present is i will continue to train.. get my 25k/week mileage..

enjoy this videoclip on a sunday morning readers..

Towards a Full Recovery; Week40

thanks to zul for this yet another wonderful pic.. errrr, have to keep pushing..

its hard to self motivate and continue training.. this is when you have to dig deep and look into you inner self.. hopefully there is some reserves left for you to go on pushing.. thats what yesterday training felt.. i could have easily stopped at 8k.. somehow i feel that i had to keep pushing.. so, despite a slow run, i did manage to get 11k yesterday and complete my 24k/week goal.. it sure felt good and also sore everywhere:-) but then again i know that its worth every sweat.. worth every effort.. a stronger me in some way..

here is a videoclip to jump start your saturday morning..

Slowly but Surely; Week40

a pic during one of my 10k runs.. thank zul for the pic..

i have started training this week after a long week sickness (poisoning).. it is hard to train after resting so long this lazy legs.. nevertheless, i have to keep on the spirit i have built a couple of weeks ago.. i really want to better my hm time during pbim'11.. three day to end this week and i have 11k to complete my 24k/week run..

here's a song to my fellow readers.. can you image how it rained in the desert? watch..

Listen to Your Body, Week38

my blood test results.. some highs and a low..

this is the week i didnt listen to my body and i got terribly ill.. started to feel week and not myself midweek.. skipped a few lunch breaks and my body fell ill before weekend.. had a terrible sore throat for the whole week.. and then the final blow.. a terrible continuous headache + continuous nausea (not to mention the vomittings) + high fever (38++).. im recuperating now and also guilty for not listening to my body enough..

here what i think went wrong and to do better next time:
1. skipping lunch.. never skip a major meal
2. taking supplements.. make sure they are still good to eat
3. eating junk.. opt for more balance meals

enjoy this to my fellow readers.. kinna catchy the lyrics.. hehe..

since completing pbim'10 i have gone on running and pbim'11 will be my final half marathon and third this 2011.. i do really pray i will do justice to myself by doing a pb.. even a minute better than last years pbim'10 will do great.. i have been consistent since week28.. now at week37 i am breaking new pb's every other week.. thats a sign my training going well.. now its 8weeks to pbim'11.. i have to stick with my training plan..

mileage up till today vs last year same period: 343k vs 312k
current avg mileage per week vs last year same period: 9.3k vs 8.5k
current mileage on my trainers (ON CloudeSurfer): 121k

A day @ Taman Gelora

how do i look after a 10k run on a friday morning?

it was a pit stop at kuantan and decided i had to run @ taman gelora.. simply had to with no particular reason.. could not quite remember when was i last here.. woke up around 630am and started running at around 705am.. i do not have any specific target.. only wanted to complete my 24k/week.. running by the beach does have its advantages.. eg.. cooler than other running spots, mostly windy.. guess what? i did another PB for 10k!! amazing!!

Another 24km/week for Week33

picture taken in 2010 before pbim'10

yeay! last week achieved another 24km/week of training.. that makes it two weeks in a row of 24km/week.. will try to achieve the same distance again for week34 before going into week35.. it is most likely i would not be able to do 24km/week for week35 since its raya week..

my average training distance per week is currently at 8.2km/week compared to last year 8.5km/week for the same period.. my total training distance for 2011 is at 270km..

from this week onwards until end year will be doing another 280km to atleast achieve the same training distance as last year, 2010.. hope to continue this not so easy feat..

Yet Another 10k PB!! Yahoo!

picture taken in 2010 before pbim'10

was on my weekly runs yesterday.. was on my 7k lap when i decided to go for an easy 10k.. could have ran faster but i didnt want to exert to much energy since i was fasting.. anything can go wrong if your last fluid intake was 10hrs earlier.. so you can say it was an easy 10k even though not that easy laa.. finally downloaded my training data from my polar watch into the laptop today.. wow, i better my previous PB in 10k by almost 4mins!! now lets maintain training and see the results in PBIM'11!!
