Winners from all the categories posing for a photo after the prize presentation of the Melawati Run 2020.

I am back, albeit it was a last-minute decision. I only got to know that the organiser had an extra media bib available the night before the race. Better late than never. So, I decided to say yes to repeating the Steroid Hill and all at the Melawati Run 2020.

It's My Third Time Running the IJM-Allianz Duo Highway Challenge and Why I Keep Returning to the NPE...

I always love running on New Pantai Expressway (NPE) ever since the adidas King of The Road (KOTR) series in the year 2011, 2012 & 2013. After that, it stopped when adidas decided to focus on other stuff (like football) and abandon the immensly popular running event, KOTR altogether.  I couldn't be happier when IJM-Allianz revived the run on the NPE in 2017. Nothing beats the freedom of running on a car-free highway with thousands of other runners on a Sunday morning! 

RK Snail LSD - KL City Run 2019 (16 March 2019) - Goddess of Heavenly Queen Temple

Melawati Run 2019 - A Great Way to Kick-Start The New Year 2019!

This running event has improved over the year! In 2009, I had sworn not to participate in the event ever again after having a bad experience. There was not a drop of water provided in the route for the runners for the 10K runners and the traffic control was seriously lacking. But fast forward, 10 years later, I must give Kelab Rekreasi Taman Melawati (KRTM) a pat on the back for the many improvements done on the run.

The Last LSD in 2018: One "Dead Slow" Run To Bid 2018 Goodbye

We gathered near Pelita @ Desa Sri Hartamas at 5am. As usual, Abang Omar didn't let us know where was he taking us. We didn't what surprises in store for us.

So, today's menu was Desa Sri Hartamas - Taman Sri Sinar - Menjalara - Desa ParkCity - Sg Penchala - Taman Tun Dr. Ismail - Bukit Kiara - Desa Sri Hartamas. A total of 24km. Phew!

From there we headed to KL city centre, passing by Central Market, Petaling Street, Pudu Sentral, Jalan Alor enclave, KLCC, Kampung Baru, Chow Kit, Sunway Putra Mall, Bukit Tunku before heading back to our start point via Padang Merbok.

Plogging in Malaysia: My First Plog @ Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur

Have you heard of plogging? It is the latest workout trend sweeping the world. And it has arrived in Malaysia.

This morning I plog for the very first time in my life. Plogging is a form of excercise said to be originated from Sweden, where the term was first coined.

Plogging comes from the Swediesh phrase "plocka upp" which means to pick up. Well, basically it means picking up trash while you run/ jog.
