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.

Throwing My Hat Over the Fence

Joy here...My husband has this saying - "throwing your hat over the fence" - which means that you're just gonna do something.  To take the metaphor to its fullest, if you throw your hat over the fence, it means that you're committed; you HAVE to go over and get it, whether you like it or not.  I'm less clever with my sayings, and I express the same sentiment by saying "grip it and rip it."
So I've thrown my hat over the fence, and I've gripped it and ripped it.  I've signed up for a 30km running race on March 27, 2011.  I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into.  But I figure I never thought I could ever run a half marathon, and with Nomi's courage, the two of us were able to pull that off, so now let's just see if I can pull off 30kms!

Over and out,
Joy
