Just got home about half an hour ago from our SunMed 5K Jogathon run this morning and though I didn't get a Morgan silver dollar medal, I did manage to get a personal best 5K time of 24 minutes and came out in position number 14 :D For a 44 year old, I'm pretty happy with my pace and position. I only wished it was a longer distanced race but there's always the New Balance 15K run in Putrajaya next week for that.
Even though it was a 'fun run' event, I was a little skeptical about the organization but I must say that it went pretty well and they gave what was promised during their promotions for the event unlike some race organizers recently. A thumbs up to them.
I'm also happy for wifey who finished the race in her personal best timing :D Kudos to her. She's going to be competing in her maiden 15K next week and though she's a little skeptical about that race, I know she'll do well :D
Ok, that's all for me for today, I'm off to collect my New Balance race kit for next weeks run in a few minutes time and have a hearty breakfast somewhere :D
Happy Sunday.

Wow! 5K in 24 minutes! I wish I can 5K in less than 30 minutes someday.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and wife in your 15K run next week. :)
Congrats Nick! 5km under 24 mins is amazing! :) I can't even do 3km under 20 mins!! LMAO! But I'm training up for that and I'll see how I fare after a couple of months. I'm just tired of doing workouts at home, to be honest. :) Running makes me feel way better. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat's a New Balance race kit?
Lina - You keep up your training and soon you'll be doing faster times :D It's all about progression.
ReplyDeleteShemah - Thanks you :D You keep on training and your times will get better. Like I told Lina, it's all about progression :D And I thoroughly agree, running is definitely way better :D
ReplyDeleteThe race kit consists of our bib numbers, t-shirt and timing chip for next weeks 15K race event :D
@Nick,
ReplyDeleteI will! I will! But I wish I can run everyday. No running when we stayed over my FIL's house (too much heavy traffic there at Jalan Bangsar). :(
But I definitely running from Thursday - Sunday! And I hope to get a better time, well actually cover a lot of mileage in one hour! :)
Lina - Actually Bangsar nice place to run, got nice giler hills ... LOL! But you're right about the traffic though, that one also giler!
ReplyDeleteGood for you :D One week you can cover a lot of miles.
@Nick,
ReplyDeleteSo takut to tackle any hills yet! The ones found at Tmn Putra Perdana in Putrajaya already made me so semput! @>@
Not bad at all! A personal best in fact. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat? OMFG! Wow! 5K in 24 minutes? IMPRESSIVE!
ReplyDeleteLina - Actually I also hate hills. I consider hills something you just have to do, the faster you run up in the faster it's over ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteThe World According To Me - Thank you :D
ReplyDeleteMeleah - Thanks but the legs ache the entire next day.
