Collect it & go sell to that guy who wanted to pay RM160 for a bib...

Parking wise, I think I'ma park at Masjid Negara la, c how la. I hope I won't be late again, I was late for Larian Bomba & Setia Alam....

Target for this race (10K) : break 1 hour...

Got parking space there ah ? That's closer than Masjid Negara or Bukit Aman I guess. But still, have to come really early....

Heheh... maybe I'll just sleep there la...

I collected my racepack at 8 today, not that many ppl. But judging from their speed of distributing the racepack just now, I mean, just to a handful of ppl... it was very slow. To have 12,500 runners taking part, they shud have a better system in place. Well, my number is 2091.. I've to manage my office's football team 2moro, hopefully won't finish late la the tournament..

Good luck y'all..

Hahah... mine is 2091.. maybe we can try to spot each other tomorrow !!

I'ma run with a flu & cough tomorrow.. & a slight temperature.. my wife asked me repeatedly just now whether I still wanna run tomorrow. I told her, unless I can't get outta bed tomorrow, then it's still on.

I dun think they will allow any changes tomorrow. But then again, maybe U shud just try Ur luck, just go earlier & ask the organizers la.

Lucky I got the correct one. 2 person in front of me tested the vests once they got it & it was the wrong type indeed. The 2 guys got the woman's vest instead.

Dun let this dampen Ur spirit. My first run this year I used my own vest.

Finished the run at 1:01 (my time) & at 1:02 (gun time, estimate). Quite disappointed that I didn't break 1 hour. But then again, considering my current condition (cold & cough), plus the fact that it was damn cold this morning, I guess that'll have to do. At least I've improved from 1:04. In the guidebook it says that the route is flat & fast.. If that was flat & fast, then I can only imagine what hilly would be like...

Congrats to all finishers...

Ishh... betul ke devilzzz ? No paper said that he'll be here, they gave publicity to somebody else...

Net Start: 06:59:03 Category: 10k Run 10km
Net Time: 01:01:09 Position: 248
Finish Timing: 01:02:07.07

My hand timing was 1:01.23. 1.09 to break the hour.... Must do it in Siemens Run...

Where 2 c the pics ?

Ayak... have to pay la...

Got password la...

Mizuno is having a sale. I went to their outlet at the Gardens last week. Mizuno Wave Creation is at 50%. That is.. if U like Mizuno la. Some Mizunos are around 100+ after discount.

I dun think it's up to Adidas to accept or reject. The registration is not closed yet I think, but now it's already in the late registration period, where they'll charge U RM10 extra. That's all.

Maybe U shud post this question in the Runners thread. There's a lot of experienced runners there who can give U good advice. Dun simply go for brand, there's a lot more to it if U're serious about running, i.e. feet type, goals, body weight, etc.

The last time I went there, Brooks the Curve was undergoing some renovation, so the store was in a mess. Maybe now settle edi...

That's for defects right ? Not if U dun like the shoes, or the shoes dun fit U well. If U can prove it's a manufacturing defect then it's a different story la.

ccube is right. From my experience, most products in the US they have money back guarantee. I recently purchased Livestrong bands & visor from Livestrong store online, they even include a form inside the package to allow U to return the product to them in case Ur not satisfied. Now, THAT's consumer power.

In here, dun like, keep quiet only la... what to do, purchased edi....

Why not try Nike Pro ? Some older models are going for a discount now. I personally use Nike Pro Vent Sleeveless sometimes for my 10K training run. I dun really feel any difference with it on or off, but it does make U feel compressed la. & it does make the sweat got an extra layer to go to before reaching my shoes & all.

Nike Alamanda Putrajaya. But not many models la. I'm sure other Nike Shops are having the same promo. Not really a promo btw, just, clearing old stocks perhaps.

I'm running on the track this Sunday, 10,000m. I know that running on track is different from running on the road. I wonder shud I invest on a pair of spikes ? It's more like a one-off event, I'll be running on the track maybe only once a year, for my ministry's sports carnival. Any sifus here can give me advice, whether it's okay to run using road shoes on the track ?

I've asked Mizuno Gardens, they do stock Mizuno Tempo LD spikes, RM299, after 20% less it's RM250+ like that... More expensive than my two pairs of road shoes !!! Hahah...

Well... I'm still considering all options. The Mizuno Tempo LD is for long distance track runs (hence the "LD"). There are cheaper ones of course, I went to GS Gill on Saturday, there was this Line 7 spikes for RM69.90 !

My other option is to buy another road racer, I have the Mizuno Wave Aero currently. I was considering buying the Wave Ronin. I can't find the Wave Universe (at 100g/pair, proly the lightest road racer in the market today). New Balance have got a really light racer I saw in their store @ Gardens, not too expensive too. Haih...

Training ? Hahah.. I've been running as usual la, after the SCKLM. Did hillsprints, tempo, etc. Next week it's gonna be the Siemens Run. My first back-to-back race this year.

As for the competitors, I've been told there's one established runner who used to run for BSN (which is also under my ministry). So I guess he's gonna be the favorite, unless I can suddenly run a sub-5:00/km pace. My goal would be to break the hour. That first, anything more will be a bonus.
