Some long due updates..

Been awhile since I posted... don't worry, I'm still working out, but mostly running than others. It's mostly a mixture of going to the gym on the treadmill, or running out there either in Lake Gardens or on the highway outside of my taman (ack!).

Anyway, just some minor updates..

Got a nice new shoe, probably the most expensive shoe to date - Asics Kayano 13. Got it in Queensway Mall in Singapore (thanks Jamie for the tip!), and they were apparently on offer, between 10 - 45% discount!! I basically got this shoe at about almost 20% cheaper than Malaysian prices! What a deal!

I'm seriously enjoying this shoe, as well. It feels totally different from a New Balance. Every NB shoe I've had, although a different design for each model, has a distinct feel to the wear of the shoe. But this Asics, wow.. it's a whole new ball game for me. I've taken it out for several runs - training runs and long runs, and it really feels like you're running on air! It makes running so comfortable, I forget I'm wearing shoes! The landing and push-off feel is just so smooth.

At the store I was torn between an Asics 2120 and this one, and after trying both out for about 10 over minutes, I thought the Kayano 13 would be a better choice. And after all, price-wise there was not a significant difference, so I thought, "what the heck, might as well pay for a good shoe, at a good price!". It looked mighty fine as well... while the 2120 was the blue design, which doesn't look as stunning as this.

If it takes a nice good shoe to motivate me to train more, why the hell not?

I missed the dateline for the NB 15K race.. bugger. But I'm gonna try out for the Penang Bridge Marathon, this June 24th. Will try the 21K of course. KT's agreed to do it as well, so I can't wait for that. I've been dying to join a race for a long time now. Nothing like joining one to keep that training bug going, ain't it?
