Joy and Nomi took the plunge and signed up for their first 10km running race ever in May 2010 in Singapore at the Sundown Race event...Then they trained for a half marathon in the fall of 2010, Joy's in Canada and Nomi's in Malaysia...Then, they finished their second-ever half marathon in Singapore May 2011 at the Sundown Race event, but this time they ran together!

Then their sporting paths diverged: Nomi went on to run marathons while Joy learned how to ride a bike. This blog charts their progress from 2010 to 2012.

Read their blog to see what their sporting adventures look like or just look at the pictures of Canada's capital city and Malaysia's capital city.

Rest Day

Joy here...So I was supposed to get up at 5am in order to do an easy run before the sweltering heat began to melt me like the Wicked Witch of the West. Unfortunately, it was hot and steamy all last night, and without any air conditioning in our home, I slept very little. So when the alarm went off at 5am, I promptly rolled over and turned it off. I didn't haul my sweaty self out of bed until about 7am, and by then the sun was high over head and the heat was sweltering. I decided to sit tight, watch some of the Tour de France and the World Cup semi-final (yay Spain!). After all that sport watching, I convinced myself to go for an easy 30 minute run in the hot afternoon sun. Today is supposed to be my rest day, so I tried my best to take it easy, but how is anything easy when you're melting? Tomorrow is hill work AND I'm going for a bike ride. Let's see if I don't melt before then. Ugh.
