6 people at the Track-24 run

Six people met up today to do the Track-24 run...GuanHong, Jasmine, ZiJing, CS, CK and HC Gan.
Two of them (CS and CK) are new participants, welcome !!

Look how energized and motivated they were before the run.

ZiJing and GuanHong were ahead of the pack. All completed the track-24. Thanks to HT for providing the cool tangerine drink after run. He did not join us today as he is still recovering from his flu.

ZiJing showed the team two exercises for cooling down after the run.

1st one is to criss-cross the legs (with knees straigthen), bend the body forward and try to touch the floor with your finger tips. Hold for 20 seconds. Then repeat with the other leg. This suppose to help out the knee area.

2nd exercise is to put one leg (the heel area) on a higher ground (e..g on a chair, table, or etc). Bend your body forward and try to touch your toes with your fingers. old for 20 seconds. Then repeat on the other leg. This suppose to help the hamstring area.

CK is from Penang visiting and he participated in marathon events before. He will be joining the Standard Chartered marathon event on 30-June-09.
HC is very tempted to join the KL event too (still deciding).

Jasmine did half marathon before and the Penang bridge run.



Everyone enjoyed the run today eventhough it has been a very hot day today. The group stay around and have a good chat while cooling down with the nice drink HT provided. The picture after the run is a bit blury but the group are still as energized after the run.

Two new members joining the run

Eight people turned up today for the 6km Track-24 run.
They are CM Lai, Doris Oh, Allan de T, YS Yun, BH Ong, HT Ng and HC Gan. Welcome Allan and Doris for joining the running group.

BK started the run early at 5:15pm. YS Yun ran from his home and met us at the Track-24. Doris and Allan started the run ahead followed by CM, HT and HC later as they waited a bit longer to see anyone else might be turning up a bit late.

CM has been joining the run group very consistently for Tue and Thu runs for the past 2 weeks. He started with about 2km run and today he was able to cover closed to 5km. Great improvement. Keep it up.

Allan was trying to get a new pair of running shoes. HT and YS gave their recommendations. YS Yun has privilage membership card with SportsLink which will get 20% discount. Whoever intend to get a new pair of running shoes, please contact YS Yun to borrow his membership card to enjoy the discount.

HT is joining the Triathlon in Bintang in May.

Oh ya.... thanks to HC for providing the free drink... 100-Plus.

Thursday run on Track-24

Four people met up at office carpark : HC Gan, HT Ng, JY Choo and CM Lai. HT showed up to say "hello" but not able to join the run due to flu.

This is the 2nd time CM joined us for the run. He joined us for the first time on Tuesday at UPR. At that time he did 1.5km. Today he increaed that to 3km, wow... good improvement ! Looks at how Happy he looked in the photo... must be a good de-stress for him and also keep him healthy.

Video of JY Choo and CM Lai below.

HC followed the whole 6km route closely behind CY who has been running very consistently at fairly constant speed of about 10kmph. Very good run today for both. HC felt still have a lot of energy left and he run another 3km back home plus another 1km. Click here to see HC's running data captured on his Garmin heart-rate, speed and distance monitoring device.

When running home, HC met YS Yun
along the YCK 10km route !
A pleasent surprise.

<= YS is one of our elite Hot-Runners... high speed and long distance.

=> HC as usual has been very inspiring and has joined us for both Tue and Thu runs.

Nine people went for the 6km Track-24 run

Nine wonderful people turned up today for a great run along Track-24.

They are HC Poh, HC Gan, Jasmine, Doris, YS Yun, Edmund Steby, JY and a new person from Penang. Last minute HT not able to join us or else it will be a total of 10 runners today.

YS Yun was way ahead of the pack and running solo at super high speed.

HweeChoo and Gan ran together and paced each other for the first 3.5km. HweeChoo did pretty well at speed of above 10kmph which is very good. It was an easy leisure run for Gan for the first 3.5km as his heart-rate are mostly in Zone-3 only (see more of Gan's graphs).








Steby and Edmund paced each other. JY ran with the new guy (what's his name) from Penang and Doris (a new member).
After the run, the team grouped together for a short chat session. HC brought along 2 bottles of 1.5L 100-Plus but without ice.

YS Yun's emergency name+contact tag looks really solid. Cost aboutS$30++ ordered thru internet and imported from US.

Everyone did 6.3km. After the drinking session, HC ran from office to home and clocked in another 3.46km making it a total of 9.76km.

Overall it has been a great run today.
