run…run…run, run

i missed the stanchart run last year and my first run for the new year will be in another 3 weeks’ time! the safari zoo run 2011 will be held on february 12 2011, a week after the chinese new year celebrations – what a great way to lose weight after all the feasting.

each competitive runner will receive a finisher medal, the first, since the introduction of the run 2 years ago. the running tee is sponsored by 2XU and free ice-cream will be served! 2XU is an australian company that produces a range of sports apparel. their top of the line product, 2XU compression, delivers all of the benefits of their clothing lines, and adds improved circulation, and heightened stability and agility while providing reduced muscle fatigue and reduced soft muscle tissue damage. the other 2XU sponsored run, the 2XU compression run 2011, will take place in april. if registered during the stanchart expo, runners will receive the 2XU compression calf guards for free (sighz!).

after a hiatus of 2 months, it will take me another month or more to reach my optimized running level. already feeling breathless after a few flight of stairs, and the nagging pain on my knees. on a lighter note, my new adidas adizero tempo could help alleviate the uncomfortableness – new shoe = new running journey!
