For the past 2 weeks I have been disciplined in my training and made it a point that I have to go for a long ride(50km is 'long' enough for me) and a long run(the loop near the neighbourhood is 8km approx) on weekends. So far so good. No major injury except for an off-on pain in the knee. Too much too soon maybe?
Normally saturdays are Putrajaya long rides for me, and sundays will be my long runs. The rides are done with friends(so that I will feel motivated to catch them!) but the runs are done alone. I can't find anyone to run around Bangi with. Maybe anyone who is reading this would like to join me on sunday long runs around Bangi? For kicks, we can add in the Equatorial hill climb of about 1km up and 1km down. I tried it once and I panted so bad when I reached the top that I had to take a 30 second breather before descending.. yeah it's THAT BAD!

I find a few websites useful to measure the loop around the neighbourhood. At least you don't have to drive your car to measure the route(save on petrol!) and it proves to be quite accurate, too.
For runs, I use www.mapmyrun.com and for rides, I use www.mapmyride.com. And for those who just started running, Runner's World is packed with tips and also motivation, if you find it difficult to peel yourself out of the bed for the early morning runs.
Anyone game for a saturday ride and sunday run, do drop me a line at aini0360@gmail.com so that we can arrange for a ride or a run. Or even a brick :)
