My dogs eat 2 meals a day. Morning and evening. So before I leave for the run, I will feed them, if not they will sure make noise cause they can sense me. Dogs hearing are just so sharp. Morning meals are heavy while the evening meals are lighter. But even with this 2 meals, both of them still so noisy. Keep asking for more food. I going pokai soon.

Alamak! Felix and Phoenix very a lot of difference leh. It's ok. Take your time to pay me back. As for Relay For Life, I guess I'm the only one confirmed going. Not sure about the others though.

Deadalus, thanks. It's indeed a good read.
Washabushi... Where got long? Go read lar. It's good info.

PowerBar needs to be taken with water to help the absorption of nutrients. As for the quads, try loosen it by strecthing a bit. I know you go to they gym for strength training. But did you know that when over do it, your muscles get very stiff and tight. That's why I attend Yoga and Pilates session to loosen my muscles. And I probably think that it's most probably in your mind saying that you are tired which you are not. That's the difference between running alone and with a crowd.

If my boy, I don't mind. He very obedient (for my standard). As for girl, if I leash her, she will drag me and run around. Then when stop, can see her mouth all the saliva coming out. It's quite painful. Maybe if free, will go without my dogs to check out first. No promises though. But definitely not this weekend cause this weekend I got 16 hours relay.

Yahlor. Previously not working wan. Now suddenly back to working life. Somore all messenger services are blocked! Sian...

Yahlor. Web one also kena block liao. Macam macam pun block. Lucky never block LowYat. LOLz... To make things worst, I already down with flu for the past 3 days. First day at work already sick. What bad luck.

I always opt for vanilla as it is caffeine free. Although recent research shows that caffeine does not causes dehydration, I think I just stick with the old rules. No harm trying to be safe. Deadalus, livita and red bull, please consume them in moderate amount. I believe it does more harm than good. For your "experiment" take it easy ok.

OMG! Best joke of the thread. ROFL...

Rashid! So sorry... I didn't hear your sms till 11.30pm last night. Before you go register for te Penang Marathon, would like to know on your plans first like accomodation, transport and timing. If everything is fine with me, then I will join you. Maybe will call you during lunch time to confirm.

Washabushi... If me and Rashid going, I think you can follow us too cause the costs won't be that high already for accomodation as the 3 of us can share a room.

The registration closing date has been postponed to next Monday, 4 June 2007. If everything OK, will register via Rashid this Friday.

Haiz... Really hope you can join us. But never mind, we got year end mah. No need hope. Rashid sure can come back KL with a medal. As for me, can also lar if I don't fall off the Penang Bridge. Hahaha...

Ya got. For every category except Fun Run. But as usual, must complete within qualifying time. 3 hours for half marathon rite?

I know got medal cause I went to their website. I called them up to enquire on the registration and told them their website was down. Then the person admitted, then the next thing I know, the website came up again. Hahaha...

Ya, I read your e-mail already. Actually, it was in his blog also. Thanks.

I think should be around RM100 to RM130 per person for the run, accomodation and tranportation. As for others like entertainment, shopping, etc... (if got time lar), that I don't know.

The cheapest hotel I found is RM100 at Hotel Malaysia.

Apa ni? Tak makan nasi for 4 years already and flaming KFC. Hahaha... Very impressive run. That's why I wanna join the challenge to help A27 challenge you. Too bad I don't have Nike+.

We are leaving on Friday (22 June 2007) night by bus and will be coming back on Sunday (24 June 2007) noon by bus. Just get a cheapo watch with a stopwatch. That will do as you need it to just clock your time.

Already inform andy on our plans. Will inform him on my contact once we settle our accomodation and transportation issue.

Is this your first time participating in a running event? If no, what's your time for 10KM, 15KM, etc... You mentioned you need guidance in the Penang marathon thread. What guidance you need? Just go ahead and ask. Each of us will try to help out.

Good luck mate. It's going to take more than stamina to finish this half marathon for you. You will is very important.

HUH? You are going to get a new pair of shoes for the Penang Marathon? Less than a month more to go. Do you think your foot can adapt to the new shoes? Runners always wear shoes that are at least 2 months old so that their foot can adapt to it. If not, the foot will be painful and blister will occur. If you are asking me to recommend, I will go for New Balance 767. Retail price is RM289 but if you are a Pacesetter member, you will get 30% discount. This is the cost-reasonable shoe I found.

Anyway, please continue this thread to here. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=464883 A new marathon thread has been created under Health & Fitness.
