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.

Something New

Joy here...In our never ending quest to beat these winter blues and be fit, happy, and healthy BEFORE the weather starts to turn nice again, we've decided to sign up for four weeks of personal training.  You see, the gym where I started taking my spinning classes every Thursday morning also offers personal training services.  So The Man and I met with she-who-will-be-our-trainer yesterday, and while the three of us sussed each other out, we decided to give this personal training thing a try!

Here are my cycling stats from yesterday's spinning class:
Rode for a total of 1:00:49, burning 404 calories and with an average heart rate of 131 beats/min.

From here on in, our week will look like:
Sunday:  long bike ride
Monday:  rest day
Tuesday:  run with strides and/or tempo
Wednesday:  short bike ride/short run
Thursday:  spinning class AND personal training hour
Friday:  short bike ride/short run
Saturday:  long run

Of course, lately, I've been lucky to get two runs plus my spinning class, because as I said, sometimes life just gets in the way.  I figure it's better to have an ambitious (but realistic) plan, and then hope to achieve "most" of the goals in that plan.

Today I'll try to get my butt out the door for an easy-ish run, and then tomorrow I'll try to run for 2 whole hours!  Ack!  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Over and out,
Joy
