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.

"Can Eat Eat"...Malaysia Styles!

Nasi Lemak
Joy here...Well, in addition to our first couple of barefoot runs since arriving in Malaysia, we've found time to fit in another couple of barefoot runs, at only 30 minutes each, and The Man has squeezed in a few good bike rides.  I chose not to bring my bike on this trip to Malaysia, and I think I'm regretting it.

You see, brief, 30 minute runs, no matter how fun they might be (and they are fun), are not really enough to stave off the midsection growth engendered by all the yummy Malaysian food we've been eating.  Even though we try to stick to our Paleo Diet food plan , i.e. no salt, sugar, gluten, starch etc., when we're in Malaysia, it's always extra hard to eat healthy and clean.  Add to that the fact that it's the holiday season, and you have a sense of the fact that trying to watch one's food intake is particularly hard.

So at this point, I think we're just on damage control and minimizing the problems caused by eating stuff that is, well, an indulgence!

So in the spirit of indulgence, enjoy these pictures that show just the kinds of goodies that we've been eating over the past week since arriving!
Yummy antipasti platter

Marinated Raw Fish
Beef Bourgignon

Homemade Indian food (courtesy of Cross Mansions)
Salmon Platter (both cooked and raw)
Now go and get something to eat, since I'm sure your mouth is watering just by viewing this smallest of samplings of what we've been up to since arriving!

Over and out,
Joy
