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.

New Blog!

Joy here...Some of you have noticed that basically since sometime in 2011, my entries on this blog have had less to do with running and more to do with some other sports that I've taken up, including cross-country skiing and cycling.  One of you even suggested that it's about time I changed the name of the blog to something that reflects this.  I've taken this to heart, and I've started up a new blog:

So this is my fond farewell to this East and West Running blog, and from now on, if you are interested in my updates as I chart my training progress from knowing nothing about sport to running a couple of half marathons and starting to race bikes, check out the new blog:  www.trainingjoy.blogspot.ca.


See ya at the new blog!

Over and out,
Joy
