What If You Can't Run Anymore?

I had always excitedly spoken about running and about how running makes me happy. One day, a friend asked me, "What if you can't run anymore?" In my heart, I sort of knew that I would continue doing something even if it meant paralympics as to quit never really seem like an option. So it finally happened. I literally couldn't run. I couldn't bend my knees nor my ankles. I had trouble walking what more about running. I could barely walk up the stairs. The pain of it was amplified by the fact that the heart and soul wanted to run so badly - so badly. Having...

The place to go to treat injuries. First time for everything! My first injury came from cycling NOT running. *evil laughter* I was cycling towards Balik Pulau and did an acrobat on my bike and tada - a fall! 2 spots on my right elbow and 1 spot on my right hip and yes, a crushed shoulder and chest.

Malaysia Women Marathon 2013 (MWM)

How I got Myself into This? When I first heard of the Malaysia Women Marathon, news came from my darling fellow runner when we were in Yangon, Myanmar back in January. My initial reaction was, "So I registered Langkawi Ocean Marathon and Borneo International Marathon which are two weeks apart and now there's MVM in Shah Alam. Can I handle 2 marathons in a month?" The next part of the fun was that for anyone doing a half or full marathon, one can...
