BHP Orange Run 2017

Here comes the BHP Orange Run 2017 again on the 1st of October 2017. A cheap run of RM5 registration fee with no shirt and timing cheap but lots of goodies at the end of the run. What's more, it is right around the neighbourhood. So a run not to be missed even for the morning jog.

This year's route is new and takes us from The Curve to Tropicana to Bandar Utama and back. Totalling 11km (Garmin and Strava noted a shorter 10km+ though).

So I decided to sign up. No training for the last 3 months due to home duties. A week before, only managed a two short 2km sessions on the treadmill and that was it! And I suffered!

The BHP Run was meant to sort of get back into the groove of running, catch up with running friends and have fun. And so it was. Did a run walk run walk strategy with Terry (he was also on a come back run too) and it was indeed entertaining. We talked more than we ran though but good to be out here in the morning.

This reminded me of last year's BHP Orange Run 2016 where I finally managed to break the 1 hour mark for the 10km run. Looking forward to more improvements as I slowly come back to it with the new daddyathlon challenge.
