Hari Sukan Negara (10.10.2015)

A friend at work told me there is Fun Nite Run at the Town Square in conjunction with National Sports Day on 10.10.2015. It was an eight (8) km run. So, I told her, please count me in and register my name. There were 41 of us from our company participate in this run which have four different categories. On the other hand, usually my sister A is very update with any available run in Sibu but somehow, this time she didn't know about this run. She can not participate this run because she is on night shift duty.

Meanwhile, my sister B was able to join the Zumbathon which was started around 6.40pm and ended at 8.00pm. I saw my aerobic instructor on the stage. She is now a Zumba Zin. Glad that she did it. I have fun zumba-ing with my sister B. I am sure I didn't do very well because I left aerobic class quite few years now and I didn't really do this workout these days. No matter what, I sweat out a bit before start running.

We were suppose to run at 8pm but the organizer was waiting for the YB to arrive and we only flag off at 8.30pm. It looks like the event is not properly organized as well because run at night and it start very late. This is my second attempt after I failed to finish my half marathon (21km) in August 2015. I only managed to run for 15km and then my knees was so painful and I can not run anymore. So, I was decided I must finish the 8km run tonight.

Somehow, I DID IT!!!... I finish my 8km with 50 minutes. I didn't stop at all and I just run at my own pace not push my self so hard this time. My aim is to finish the run. I am glad that I did it. Thanks be to God.

#4 ~ Zumba?

I was slow in doing my exercise these past few months. Been a while i didn't play badminton or jogging after work. Its only my working environment that keeps me sweat out and stay healthy. With the work that i did, i walk a few kilometers in the jungle, up and down the hills. But, i have a bit of problems, i lost some of stamina. I panting and lost breath catching up with my fellow workers when we hikes in the jungle. Therefore, i decide to start exercise again.

Girls in my office very determined to loose weight since one of them getting married this coming December. So, i decide to join their group and start to do some girls favourite workout, ZUMBA or Aerobics. I know, both have their differences but i just put both into one and create our own steps.

For the past weeks, it feels very awkward to do this in the open area. We don't have gym or close room to conduct our activities, so we just use the open space on the hill. Being the one that have the experienced with Aerobic class way back in 2006/2007, i kindda lead our group. However, i always very weak in memorizing all the steps.

Whatever it is, i think we catch up some steps from Shani McGraham and Sidnie Tatom for us to kick off our Zumba routine.

Whatever it is, if we wanna be good in this we need to discipline ourselves and start to do it in regular basis. Wish us luck!
