Just like many other runners out there, I started running in order to lose weight and burn unwanted fats. Believe it or not, I can’t even run more than 5 minutes in my early days. Running more than that makes me feel like dying!
The 1st run that I’ve signed was the Penang bridge half marathon. I do not know what came into my mind but that was it, my 1st race! It was kind of crazy because I’ve never tried 10km or even 5km run before. No proper training. No proper advice. The longest timing I did was only 45 minutes which includes slow running and most of the time walking. With these, you could have already imagined how I suffered during the race.
Scolded and cursed myself all the way, also promised that will never sign up for this kind of race ever again. Although it was really suffering, but I never gave up. All these moods changed when I crossed my 1st finish line. At the moment when the marshal hang the first finisher medal on me, all those pain, suffering, scolding, cursing disappeared just like that. It was a sense of joy and achievement which I could never describe. And that’s how my running life begins…..
My 1st full marathon started off in year 2004, which is in Singapore. Same goes to year 2005-2007, all in Singapore. That time, I only did one marathon per year. In year 2008, I decided to increase the amount of marathon per year so I did 2 marathons. Year 2009, increased again to 3 marathons per year. Year 2010 was crazy because I’ve did 11 marathons, 1 ultra marathon, and also bought a bike and move into world of triathlon!! And in the same year, I qualify for the Marathon Maniacs at the Silver (2 star) Level. I am now Maniac #3165 (Silver).As of today, I’ve completed 20 marathons, 1 ultra marathon, 1 12hours walk which I’ve covered the distance of 62km, 1 climathon, twice sprint triathlon, 1 half distance powerman, 1 biathlon, 1 The North Face 25km, and also plenty of races included 30km / 21km / 10km / 7km.
Pacemakers is indeed a well known community among runners. Have been wondering and asking around about the requirement for joining this club. And I was told that runners have to be invited in order to join Pacemakers, there’s no application form for it!! So too bad I can’t apply. =(
Recently, in Penang Round Island Relay, I as a “kau kau lat” Pacemaker’s supporter, was given the opportunity to become the second team’s photographer during the event. It was also an opportunity to meet with most of the Pacemakers members there.
On 10/01/2011, a mail popped up and it was from PM1 Ronnie See! Inviting me to join his running community as PM51!! Was very exited and happy that I’ve finally been invited!! Thanks Ronnie!
I am happy to join this BIG family and hope to improve my timing with the guidance of Pacemaker’s members. And the most important is to learn how to “pia”!!!And with the request from PM1, I’ve added some of my “leng lui” pictures! =)

welcome !

congratulations Winnie!!!
I've on all occasions liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of rightful dish out in days of yore staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to relieve stress and strain and just think just about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, instead of dolls and cars I've in any case sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, musical boxes etc. So I was most delighted when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Presentation Laser Outstrip Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a musical thump, a spinning better, and a berate show all rolled into one. Which is great relaxation! The gyroscope will whirl after around a minute. The laser enlightenment manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather unequalled fiddle with that my friends be suffering with also been most amused with.
My dogs are also pretty outr?around the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at principal they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss boast, and also because it produces music. But after they got tempered to it, they've stopped barking but virtuous keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also unbelievably amused by it. Off it's proper to take fun toys throughout the ancestry so that you can pull out the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you open to fit out viands or sock changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such toy with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a dainty exposition with red, obscene, and green colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that great but allowable plenty to consider any supplementary customer to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look very coolth, and slightly macho with that dragon imprint.
The music flare inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the b & b cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as correctly so that the laser brighten show produces a ideal effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a rather mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, at near the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping put in return all gifts and ideas in support of romanticist occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp upstage gyroscope can maybe be a superb Christmas gift in behalf of the toddler or in spite of the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a polite reckoning to the usual Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it just about the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests hit town in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject thus far again!
