Chasing the rain clouds



It may sound a bit like a song title from The Carpenters. Truthfully, the moment was plainly awesome. How I wish all running friends were there to get a taste of it. Old goat here can only bragged about the week that was and the steps put apart towards the weekend great getaway with the usual Geng Kaki Lambung.

(1) Old goat is tired and wasted from the non-running days before the weekend.

(2) Old goat can only dreamt of having the perfect evening weather to run. Weather was kind only in the morning when Old goat can only manage a short 70 metres walk to the Taska and back.

(3) Old goat's weekdays run were a goner.

(4) Old goat can only managed a core workout doing pilates on the motorbike through the morning traffic.

(5) Old goat squeezed in upper body resistance workout jamming the front brakes and hanging on to the handlebar five days a week two times a day. Threw in calf workouts from the rear foot pedal braking.

(6) Old goat stayed below the weather for three days with "selsema kambing" and sore throat followed with irritating coughings.

(7) Old goat was awarded with tight deadlines at work with bitchy boss breathing LT rate on his neck.

(8) Old goat can only held on to the weekend group LSD plan to motivate himself to survive the remaining days.

(9) Old goat with four other handsome buddies attempted 30km LSD from Lembah Kiara to Bukit Aman and back. The clan was rewarded with a perfect overcast, perfect "lambung sessions", perfect pace & stayed in a pack throughout and a perfect storm at the last 5km. Not forgetting the perfect watermelon as post run reload thanks to Shuk.

(10) Old goat addressing his most gratitude to fellow running buddies for the perfect moment.

(11) Old goat swigged in Carl's Junior double punch in replace to the traditional daun sireh as post run meal.
Post run meal...wordless

  7. So Haza, perhaps it was the same rain clouds. It was refreshing though. No worries la. That shower was pollution free X)

    Syah, but did you remember an aqua-goat was slayed to the bone from one of the biggest lambung that morning?

    We could've customised our pace for you, June. No worries. As long as you can blend in with all the jokes and nonsense along the way X)

    Kash, we just loved the beautiful clouds formation that morning and the shower that followed. Those were the only words that can justify it.

    Yo surf dude. Old goat's milk turned sour already after 30km XD

    Yes Ziff bro. I take it that bryani lamb is one of your favorite? It's definitely mine. Only that I can't get the hold of it after the run. Limping the whole day already la :)
