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.

Running just for fun...

Joy here...Since this is my "easy week," Thursday's run was scheduled as just a simple, 30 minute run to get the legs moving. I didn't wear my Garmin; I didn't watch my pace; I didn't even have a watch. I just ran under the blue skies with the rippling waves of the Canal beside me and the cars taking their work-a-day commuters home. I felt smooth, fast, and light, and whether I was all those things doesn't really matter. It just felt good, and it felt fun. Nomi is right...running can be just about the enjoyment of being alive, feeling your legs moving, air coming in and out of your lungs, and knowing that your body is doing what it was meant to do. So that's what my Thursday run was all about.

Here are my run stats:
I ran for ???? minutes for a total of ???? distance at an average of ???? pace.

Today I really feel that I don't know and don't care how my run was in terms of numbers, because today felt good and today that's all that matters.

Over and out,
Joy
