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.

A Rwandan Story...well worth a read...

Joy here...While SK couldn't join us for our epic two-loop bike ride through the park this Sunday, she did share an article about cycling from the New York Times with all the "sisterhood" via email.  I suggest it as a must-read for anyone.  I think that each of us who read it likely didn't get to the end without tearing up a bit.

Here is the front page photo and caption:

“This is the land of second chances,” the coach of Team Rwanda says. The riders—Hutus and Tutsis—find that cycling gives suffering a purpose. Above, team members compete in the Tour of Rwanda, in November, 2010.
