LSD 6: THE BIRTHDAY LSD!!!!

Long Slow Distance run training went abit farther to Putrajaya on LSD 6! In an effort to promote running society on the backdrop of healthy living, community at the CHIEF'S ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP organised a weekly running together-gether. The LSD was planned and organised by our Chief's original Bootcamp celebrity runner Ilyanna Aylin Ayob and Chief's Original Bootcamp Admin Rose Emini Pahamin. After exhausting their ideas to run in Klang Valley, they chose Putrajaya which is a safer place to run in the evening!! Why in the evening? Yes, because to give opportunity for many to run after their working hours. Why in the middle of the week from the usual weekend runs... it was because this weekend is the 1Vision run which many of us are running at Padang Merbuk but actually, I think Nana & Rosey purposely planned for me to run to end the day I was born on 1 March!!! Grrrr..

The meeting point is infront of the Palace of Justice and after being stuck in heavy traffic, Rose Emini Pahamin, Nawal Aini Zulkifli and me arrived shortly before 8:45pm. Our organiser Ilyanna Aylin Ayob arrived way before the expected time of running (ETR) 8:30pm. At 9pm, we began our running!! it was our first time running in the evening at Putrajaya!! Putrajaya at night was breathtaking!! It was an awe!! I thought I was in Paris!! Stupendous view and romantic landscape. The wind that constantly blew while we were running perfected the whole ambiance.

The whole town was lit up with amazing colours! This is Malaysia.. I could not feel more proud that now. The buildings, the sky crapers, the township architecture, the reflection of all the colourful lights in the lake was mesmerizing. I was lost in deep thought feeling so peaceful while Ali Rahimi Ferdosinezhad sharing some historic Persian stories. At one juncture, I wanted to just stop.. stop and stood still while admiring the beauty of Malaysia. This was my dream true.. to run and admire a beautiful scenery. I was overwhelmed with such a wonderful sight.

If this was a birthday present, it would be the most nostalgic gift. The gift of beauty, the sense of peace and the feeling of completeness. Life is just so great. Thank You Ilyanna Aylin Ayob, Rose Emini Pahamin, Nawal Aini Zulkifli, Afiza Abdul Halin, Advance Tan, Ali Rahimi Ferdosinezhad, Tan Wee Liam, Umesh Narasimhaiah, May Lyn Wong, Peter Chong, Shazny Az, Mira Ezwany, Abdul Adzim Zaharudin, Adam Heng, Abdul Fattah Mohd Mokhtar and a few more (sorry cant remember names,it comes on a package on every birthday) for running with me to end my birthday celebration.

Some of us ran for 15km and some of us did 11km but in the end, we all gathered infront of the Palace of Justice for the legendary-COBC-Squat-Hold birthday singing moment.. ya its my turn to be on squat hold.. yaaa. Justice is done infront of its Palace.
