Quek Mambo.

You know what got to me this week? That kinda struck a nerve?
The fact that I suddenly realize I have a terrible form while running.
I used to imagine myself running heroically, like those elite marathon runners you see on ESPN. Head upright, spine straight, arms moving swiftly from side to side, legs pumping steed like, ab muscles rippling to every sleek movement ( okay, maybe not that one).
When I saw 3 videos, one on Youtube and two from the marathon-photos website, I was mortified. I run like a duck. Yes, people. I waddle. With my arms swinging in a flap like motion. And my legs are humongous. And the grey pants are baggy sebijik cam MC Hammer.
And don't get me started on my finishing photos.

Here are some of my favourite finishing photos of the RBUs. They're all so heroic, stoic and stallionlike ( sorry aa you guys , I hope you don't mind)
I ciloked most from Ijam's blog since he's such a superb photographer-puji sket.


And the one that I like the most




okay, she's not an RBU but I like her pecs.
And here I am:



Pitiful.Just plain pitiful. Macam kanak-kanak Ribena pun ada.
Sigh.

    Most of my running photos lagi horror! That's why I myself can't look at them.

    And I'll nominate you as RBU with the most vague post-titles, can't guess what's inside just looking at them. hehehe. Hepi wiken!

  15. I kinda like your redah je style, Julin. From the way you said your hp can only call and send sms, to your grey running pants. You might not look mean and menacing, but you're speedy!

    You don't need to change anything.

  16. WHO CARES? girls my age run in shorts shorts and sleeveless tees and i run in large tshirts and long pants. it's all about the running baby, and definitely not the style.

    i love your individuality.

  17. At Dubai Marathon got some runners (caucasians) in cotton tees, didn't look serious at all, and they were fast.

    Yes, I love your individuality. Yours too, Nadia.

  19. OMG, I just reread this post and realized I wrote I like someone's boobies. Arggh. Ni la bahana writing an entry in a hurry and not rechecking it.
    I meant I like her abs, her 6 packs, not pecs.
    Sila gelakkan saya.

  20. Zaki : Haha..ya la. I'm airborne. But a little also like hantu tak jejak bumi. Ijam tido kot.
    Kak Haza: Did I tell you I love you? haha..you made my day kak! I feel like a million dollars. And as for the titles, it's usually the first thing that pops in my mind, tak kira la ada kaitan ngan entry or not. haha.
    Syah: Eh nak tiru..kena buat copyright nih. Sila contact ejen saya.

  21. Kak Kash: I have my kedai runcit in my pockets. right pocket powergel, left side water bottle, back one keys, ic, hp. No wonder so bulky kan?
    Nik: Weh tak paham la lawak karipap ni but FYI if I eat karipap before run, I get gas. Tapi okla no, daya tujahan.
    Syed: haha cute?? I seriously doubt it but I was sprinting to the finish line sbb I can't wait to get it done with. Senyum2 tu sbb abis

    Nana: I was hoping to meet you nana and see how comei you are in person. PBIM boleh kot no?
    Diket : Somebody also told me that when I was wailing away about myself. Janji happy ek?
    Syuk: bolehhh..tapi dia tak jadik 6 packs, dia jadik 2 pack jr..satu bulge atas, satu bulge bawah.

  23. KakJustiffa: Is Justiffa your real name? It's really pretty. Anyway, I was enjoying myself and you wouldn't want to meet me post race because I tend to babble non stop about the race.
    KakJune: You and your compliments, they're non stop. Thanks, Kak June ;)
    Nadia: I think we both have the same thing in common. We're guy-girls. That's meant in a good way coz we don't give a feck that we like sweating more than doing other girly stuff.
    Gerb : Arghh..arghhh..KEMBANG. Bestnya kena puji pagi ni. Baju dah tak muat ni. Yes, I love that picture kan? Very Epic.
