Got a lady colleague did the REPC on behalf. Very bad of me huh! Well, she benefited as she now knew where is OCM and its located in the same perimeter with Olympic Hotel, of which she never even heard of this hotel before this.
The REPC only contained a Panthera Jersey and a blank bib. Was thinking earlier, why a blank bib? Might as well do away with it for a greener environment. Come to think of it, this will prove that I am a registered and paid runner since I won't be running in that Panthera Jersey.

So are we suppose to write something on the bib? Got the idea from a running buddy and I wrote in my running group so called allocated number, i.e. Low Yat Net Runners (LYNR) no:5 and also my nick. Lets hope this doesn't confuse anyone during the run. A running buddy also commented that we should write some motivational or congratulatory message for our Olympic Contingent on the bib and pass it back to the organizer and have it pin up on a big board for the public. This is indeed a good idea.

LYNRers are also planning group run together on this event at a very slow and easy pace to promote our group. I managed to coaxed 2 new lady runners (my colleague and her friend) and hopefully they will like running after this. Until then, more photos will be up for this event after this weekend.
When first got to know about the new zero drop minimalist from New Balance, fell in love with it immediately but not when I felt it physically when it arrived to Malaysia's shore in late April. Initially only 2 colours, i.e. the white and lime green was brought in. Didn't quite like it at all as it looks....just don't know how to describe. When got to know that red colour has landed in Malaysia, went and checked it out at NB Concept store at the Gardens. Fell in love with it immediately. Without hesitation, bought it for RM 279 with a 20% being a PACM member together with the NConcept discount card.

| New Balance MR00 red |
As of today, this new addition has clocked 4km on my legs as this whole week was nursing as injury which I had while doing my maiden full marathon (BIM) in Kota Kinabalu weeks ago. The feel was superb it provide a little more cushioning compared to my VFF Treksport. Hope this MR00 will bring me through the next next 42km run.
First of all, this is my first encounter with blogging or rather 1st time publishing a blog as an individual as I was introduced to blog in my running group just a few weeks back. I was thinking, why not blog about myself too?
Why Leanman? I always wanted to look lean and slim. I was overweight then and I used this nick to register with a forum many years back. Hopefully by using this nick would make me look lean and slim hahaha!
So am I there yet? Almost, I would say. I lost about 10 kg ever since I started running in June 2011 and I never looked back. Running has became a passion in me and in no time I have graduated from a couch potato to a marathoner in a span of 11 months. To date, I have a completed my maiden marathon in Borneo International Marathon and numerous half marathon in the last few months.
I would always tell myself now, be dumb just run!
