Happy Feet: November 2014

Sunday, November 30, 2014. MRCA Charity Run 2014: Race Review. I've been on the lookout for a 10k race for quite a while but the thought of having to drive to some obscure location in the city or Putrajaya always dissuaded me from signing up for one. It's just not worth having to get up so early and drive so far just for a short distanced race. Julie, the MC. How she can be so chirpy so early in the morning baffles me! This race was one race in a long time where I was on my own. The wife decided to s...

Happy Feet: February 2015
http://happiefeet.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Under Armour SpeedForm RC Vent: Quick Take. The past three years have seen me running in almost nothing but Skechers Performance shoes. No, I'm not sponsored by them or anything of that sort. I'm not elite enough to go down that path but I do get the opportunity to test and review their newer models for them. Blog, I simply had to get one. It helped that they came in my favourite colorway of lime green though officially its colorway is labelled as High-Vis Yellow. Speaking o...

Happy Feet: Saucony Kinvara 6: Initial Review
http://happiefeet.blogspot.com/2015/07/saucony-kinvara-6-initial-review.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Saucony Kinvara 6: Initial Review. I received the Saucony Kinvara 6 (K6). From Frank of Running Lab, courtesy of RSH (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd just about two weeks before the Gold Coast Airport Marathon. It didn't leave me nearly enough time to test the shoe out and being bogged down with an injury also made it rather difficult. So let's see if that assessment is justified. Saucony's trademark FlexFilm is attached to the upper and provides an exoskeletal support frame for strength and co...

Monday, August 25, 2014. Starlight Ultra 84K: Race Review. Right up to this very minute, I have no idea why I even signed up for the Penang Starlight Ultra. Since I need to blame someone for the pain I'm feeling in every inch of my body, I'll just blame Jamie for this. He was the culprit who first signed up for this and like an idiot, I followed suit! Pebbles, my ever faithful medal model . We had a couple of hours to spare before race start and as usual with the GC fellows, it was all fun and joking aro...

Happy Feet: Gold Coast Airport Marathon 2015: Race Review
http://happiefeet.blogspot.com/2015/07/gold-coast-airport-marathon-2015-race.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. Gold Coast Airport Marathon 2015: Race Review. Southern Cross University 10K. The Southern Cross 10k was planned as a shake down run for the team. This year we had a bigger group from the core GC team coming along and we wanted to have as much fun as we could which translates to a photo taking galore. So the five of us, Jamie, Choon Yuen, Foo, Leong and me decided to make the most of our stay there. The fun for us started from the word go. To be entirely honest, this was one o...

Happy Feet: September 2014
http://happiefeet.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2014. Boh Highlands Run 2014. It was a cold, wet and muddy affair at the Boh Highlands Run 2014 this morning but it was not without fun. The rains that came pouring down just before the race start and remained until the event was over didn't damper the spirits of those present. In fact, everyone reveled in the rains, mud and cool, crispy fresh highlands air. The infamous Brinchang Gridlock, and I thought KL was bad! We weren't short of places to visit seeing as how just a few metres...

Frank's Blog...: Comrades 2015 Travel Plan...
http://runnerzcircle.blogspot.com/2015/05/comrades-2015-travel-plan.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Comrades 2015 Travel Plan. As my fourth Comrades Marathon is fast approaching, it's time to have the luggage bags sorted out for. Though the packing has started last week, the planning started months ago. Nothing much especially in numbers has changed from last year, with the exception of adding in some hiking essentials this time round as the holiday seekers will be heading towards Namibia post Comrades. First ride, Hyundai i10. Nissan NV200 for Team Malaysia! A Ford Ranger camper.

Distance: 10KM per loop (maximum distance in 16 hours). Shoe: Saucony Zealot ISO.
