Run half way, Runners can eat LAKSA......Wow!!! So yum yum!!!

I don't carry key during my run. I put my key hide in somewhere that nobody can find it. Carrying key in running is bad coz keys are sharp object,

What to achieve in 2017? Runners here always think about themselves....never think about other. You mean, in life.....running....running...running. Achieving PB in marathon, no injuries and do more races in 2017 year...etc. I just share mine one....My resolution for 2017. 1. Running once or twice weekly to make myself HEALTHY! 2. Beside running, I must do charity or volunteer works to help people who are in need. My life is MEANINGFUL. 3. I don't achieve PB....it makes me more stressful. I ENJOY MY RUN in smelling flower paces. 4. Beside competitive run, I want to sign up few Charity Run such as Terry Fox, Metta Run and Run for Hope....these runs are meaningful to me. A way to contribute back in the running society. 5. All runs are expensive....save my money to run at ECP, Bedok Reservoir, Park Connector, Coney Island....FOC~! The money saved....I can travel oversea with my love.
