Tibi & Adination Run Weekend

This was my back-to-back running weekend.

TIBI RUN

First, i ran Tibi on Saturday, actually i pushed the stroller with my kids – hence the return of the Stroller-man.

This run considered as my strength training for the big event next year. There were many familiar faces at the start of the race, including Diket Mencanak and his sidekick Dett.

The route was full of hills and more hills...no prize for guessing why it’s called Double-Hills! Pushing a strollers weighted more than 20kg up and down the hills is no joke, but somehow i managed to finish this run as always, although we started from all the way back, we managed to overtook few runners along the way.

Thanks to Mawar, who paced with us during the early stages, before she zoom off to the finish line, she’s becoming a faster runner since coming back from Singapore Marathon. Congrats Mawar!

I completed the 8km run in a slow time of 1:02

Highlight of the day when a lady runner which i overtook earlier, stopped by at the end of the run and congratulated me on securing the limited medal. Thanks, i might left a good impression eh   :)

ADINATION TRAILS RUN

P1040438

The 7.8km Adination Trails run was my second run on Sunday morning. Limited only to 500 runners and the best part is that the registration is free, unless you opted for the Medal which cost you RM25. The venue this 4th Adination Breakfast Run was located at Cahaya SPK Resort at Puncak Alam, Shah Alam.

We started running through a lame trails, more of open clearing fields to be precisely, then about 1km we hit the tarmac running towards a hill, then after coming down the hills, we passed through a nice row of houses along the route before entering a lame construction site to the finish line.

I completed this run at position 60 with the timing of 45 minutes, i guess it’s enough for a warm up before the MR25 Ultra Marathon Trails next week.
