1st UPR Run after the recent 4-Dec marathon event

A total of 8 hot-runners turned up today for the fun run together. This is the first recovery run for some of us after the marathon event.
Ms. A, Aik Lan, HT, Jason, Mark, Dennis, HC and Bok Hui turned up.

Thanks to HT for bring the water cooler with ice and HC for supplying 2 bottles of 100-Plus.


A lot of information sharing about the recent marathon events. Bok sort of "hit the wall" after about 33km. HC both legs cramped at 30km mark and not able to move at all right in the middle of the run for about 1 full minute. Bok said need "potassium" to avoid cramp and banana is one of the better source for that.

UPRs 18 and 11 Oct

18 Oct... UPR run was aborted due to presence of lightning as the rain poured. Too bad, have to wait for another week to get together again. Gan headed off to his gym and completed 10km on the treadmill.

11 Oct... 15 hotrunners came. Most of us were simply happy just being able to get some exercise in the transquility of UPR.
You can see the smile on Melisa as she waved and ran in on the home stretch.
We welcomed Poom to the group. She brought along a camera to snap some pictures of monkeys... yes real monkeys in UPR(not hotrunners).
Yip Yew Seng, a long time hotrunner joined this run. Hello. Long time no see.
At this time of the year, the sun set a bit earlier and it got dark soon while we sipped on the chilled isotonic. Rest n Relax.
Posed for 4 photographers before we left. (Yvonne was not in the picture as she had to leave earlier. )

It is always a new thing for me

I did it.... have not run with time goal for a while. This time, I completed the 6.4km in a few seconds under 40 minutes and I did not stop on the up slopes. This is a accomplishment for me personally as I have been slacking in terms of pushing for speed and distance for good reasons (off season after my event in July). The weather was good after the early morning rain.
Endurance Chan CS came. Bokz, Edwin, Melissa and Yit Kai were there too. A quick catch up and it is dark and time to go. Somehow, the 'drinks and chat' time always felt too short.... must be the good company.

Hope to catch up with the runners next week. Meanwhile, stay Healthy, lively and fun. See ya.

Misty Forest

Last week, we have a small party to welcome Daniel to run with us. He was introduced to the run group through Melisa. He was prepared and turned out in the Motorola lumi yellow running vest.
Hannif was enthusiatic about the run as well eventhough it was rainy the whole afternoon and gave Melisa + Daniel a ride there.
Esther, daughter of Hannif went for the run too. Now that Esther is getting to be a regular too, Bokz found a special XXS T-shirt for her to make part of hotrunners. To date, she is the youngest hotrunner at 5 years old. She has been running with the group for quite a while now.
The rain and last minute business kept many away from the run at UPR on that day including myself. I was told it was misty in the wooded area.... a UPR mood which was to be savored.

SAFRA AHM 21KM EVENT 4-SEP-11

More than 10 Hot-Runners participated in this Army Half Marathon event.



The weather was cooling in the early morning and all of us have a nice good run. Some of us manage to hit our Personal Best (PB) timing for 21km run e.g. Janto, HC, Cat, etc.




Some of those who (not complete list) ran in this race are HC Gan, Bok, Edwin, Alex, Jeremy, Andy, Yow Seng, Beng Hwee, Tim Teo, Janto, Kok Wai, Joe Tan, EJ Yap, CS Chan, etc.

Not forgetting the lady runners => Catherine, Margaret, Christina, Wendy Cheng, etc.



HC achieved PB at 2:09hr. After 3 weeks of zero running, he cramped his training into a single week => Sun 6km, Tue 10K, Thu 15km and Sunday the AHM 21km race. The main setback of suddenly cramping so much mileage in a single week was both of his center toes were swollen and arching.












Janto was very glad to achieved PB at 2:15hr.






Catherine PB at 2:10hr, etc. At 19km point her posture was still gorgeous and picture perfect like what the Adidas trainer has told us to maintain.

Edwin at 1:56hr.




Was glad to see CS Chan, Tay Beng Hwee and Tim Teo again since we have not met them for quite some time.
