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 back on track...

Joy here...After a few weeks of being sick (and spreading my own sickie germs to The Man) I felt like this past week was some kind of forced taper week due to illness.  To be honest, I wasn't really feeling all that great.  I hadn't made up my missed long run and hadn't felt like I had progressed at all.  But on Saturday, whether I liked it or not, I was going to be running.  So...out the door we went...

Here are Saturday's run stats:
Ran for a total time of 1:07:56 for a distance of 12.26km with an average pace of 5:32min/km and an average heart rate of 136 beats/min.

It was an easy, casual, and comfortable run, and I'm pleased with it, because I plan to run the first 12 km of the 1/2 marathon at about a 5:30min/km pace, and then pick it up for the final 9 km.  At least that's the plan.  So I'm hoping that things just might be back on track.


Over and out,
Joy
