Back on track

It is good to be back on track! This is literally double meaning - back on track to blogging and also really back on track to running.

Yesterday was a first for me, I went all the way to KLCC park for a morning run - we were practising for Rat Race. Yes, this is indeed a rare occasion itself - my team is practising!!! The team this year has good spirit and is quite gung-ho about the occasion, and thanks also to my marketing manager cum old-school-mate friend, we round up a lot of enthusiasm in this event.

So, yesteday I got up earlier than all the workdays, was at KLCC at 730am which is already late for normal Sunday runners, but early for me :-o (as always).

We had a good simple easy run around 4 rounds (1.3km each) = 5.2 kms (Rat Race = 4.5km). This was a good bonding and easy start for us as running together meant we could chit chat, and this was the first time I had done so with my colleagues whilst running. Moreover I rarely see these guys, so it was good to just get a different group to run together. I also discovered more people who were picking up running competitively - this motivates me further.

We spent the cool down having breakfast at Lotus nearby, and hatched our plan to surprise the competition for the Rat Race :-). So watch out for Team Accenture... led by yours truly.

So this is my "back on track" plan :
1) Putrajaya Marathon - Half Marathon- hoping to be able to do this as my second half-m! We shall see, based on fitness levels...
2) Rat Race (4.5 km) - The event of the year. Watch out for Team Accenture, we will surprise you! Just hope it does not rain...
3) Terry Fox Run (5 km) - I am abandoning Mizuno Wave Run year 2 for Terry Fox - TF always has the atmosphere and enthusiasm which I always enjoy - a carnival like atmostphere not forgetting it is charity and lots of family goes for this, you can see dad's carrying kids and running too! Moreover this year it is sponsored by SF Coffee and my company's recreation club is specially urging us to go, so it will be a family day for my fellow workers as well.

See you there!
