Age is just a number
Is age the factor for people not to do exercise, well I do hear from friends telling me that ‘aiyaaa old already lah ’.
Well too prove them that age is just a number , 2 person whom I met last for dinner, Francis and Teresa last week for dinner and just ask how old are they ?
Answer is, grandparents already la, that's their answer and yet still running as long their body can carry them.

Francis, 72yrs of age, just completed the New York Marathon on Nov. 4 and proudly show me the finisher medal and will be running 21km in SIM '07. Early this year, he ran the KLIM 42km and next year he will continue to run at least 2 marathons.
Teresa, 66yrs of age and started running at the age of 60 and will be running the 42km in the SIM ’07. She told me, due health reason she took up running 7 yrs ago and didn't regret the move that she took and able to meet new friends young and seniors.
So is age the factor, the answer in NO, said these two.
Wow, look like I have 2 decades to catch up with both of them, and hope that I still can continue running or do things to keep me active.
At these age, most of them will be retiring, to Francis and Teresa, keep on going on what you have been doing and I am glad to have met both of you.
So guys, hope that these two runners will give you the inspiration for the coming SIM '07.

Ipoh KRI - Nov 18
The Ipoh KRI 12km run ended yesterday, and who are the winners in our group.
Its the ladies day.... Maryann, Siok Be, Yen Erl and Ashley were podium finisher in their respective categories...
Salute to Siok B, after 180km cycling on Sat and have only 3 hrs sleep and got 5th in the 30 - 39 ladies category (which happen to have the most ladies and number of them can run) while Maryann came out 4th. Think the 'lai lew ha' and the 'tou fu' that we had for dinner prior to the run gave her the protein that she need to recover after 6hrs of cycling.
As for Maryann, hmm she could have done slightly better lah probably she misses leslie as her motivator...
As for Yen Erl (4th) and Ashley (8th) congrats to both of them 'cos on saturday when we collected our running numbers I told tham if both of them not in top 10, they have to take bus back to KL .
As for Eric and me, we tried our very very best but need to train harder..
The race started and 7am , and the route 98% are flat..
To Mavis, (Tawau lady) thanks for the support despite arriving at 2.30am from Tawau to Ipoh..
last bit not least , as usual team manageress Vivian, for her support look like guys the next 2 months have to bring chair for her to sit as 'junior' is getting bigger.
To Chong (KRI , President) and all the KRI members, thousand folds thanks for organising the race, will sure come and support.
Pixs will be posted soon.
