at what point does one cease to be able to claim they returned to the country 'recently'? i still tell people i recently repatriated. well, we have crossed the 7 month mark which means we've been back for more than 1/2 a year already. imagine that!:)
running
2 weekends ago we took part in our 2nd half marathon, PBIM. which we'd signed up for even before we returned to the country. i never would've thought that i would be a runner in my mid thirties - and yet, here i am about to run another half marathon in s'pore this weekend. it's been said that people are now turning to running and other such fitness crazes to get through their mid life crisis (instead of buying a ferrari ...). well, i can't deny that running is a rather crazy sport. and certainly, many things about the PBIM run were insane - such as the starting time (3am), the fact that it rained heavily during the run; and yet it has got to be the most enjoyable, exhilarating races i've taken part this year. i ran across the PENANG BRIDGE and BACK damnit! hmm. have lost count of how many runs i've taken part in exactly - a glance in the t-shirt drawer says probably half a dozen or so. klang pacers, new balance 11k, nike 101010, kl stanchart, new balance 15k ...
(this pic was taken after the KL stanchart - back in june - couldn't find any good pics from recent runs)
