2016 was a roller coaster year for me. It seems started well when I took part in the dragon back run and finished with decent timing of 2:14 for 23km. thereafter it gave me boost to train more so that I could prepare for my 1st ever overseas run and world major, Tokyo Marathon.
Things happened as I fell from bike just 1.5 month from the event, where I needed time to rest and didn't had much mileage. yet, I went to Tokyo to gain as much exposure as athlete cum backpacker. It was great experience running in winter.Meeting new friends and getting to know the culture of new people was definitely fascinating.
Thereafter, I took part in mini races i.e CLAP run and Square Root run in Universiti Malaya, which basically to bring the confidence back. In midst of personal life, wok and Toastmasters, I registered for virtual runs, so that it can boost me to keep running/exercising like, Bola naga run 1, Bola Naga run 2, Kabali run, Run for nasi lemak, singam run and MM trio run. Nevertheless, decided virtual runs would not be continued as I need to have face to face competitions.
Apart from it, I went through 3 consecutive week s of run, which I could say the peak ie AIA run, KL marathon and finally my 10th marathon (Kuching Marathon). Thereafter I called it a day for the year on competitive racing.
Overall, I took part in 8 runs (1 of my lowest in last 10 years). It's time to come back in 2017. Above are my pictures I took in gym and races.
