Returning to Bukit Aman car park after the 20km training run on Sunday 2 October 2005, we were pleasantly surprised to see a big crowd there. On that morning, Pacesetters Club had set up a few 
booths to facilitate the registration of 30km runs; distribution of free T-shirts; sales of running related merchandises. Not forgetting Nike Sales was there to promote their latest products on running.
Looking at Adrian (From Nike; whom I know later) taking photos at those gathered there, I regretted for not having brought my camera. We struck a conversation about online blogging. Immediately after that, Amanda, the Marketing Manager, came to enquired whether I come to know any lady runner. Without hesitation, I recommended Miss Chantelle – Pacesetters Club’s “leng lui” (pretty girl).
The rest was history. Chantelle was chosen as the representative for Nike Women. The good news was that Chooi Wan (another lady runner that runs with Chantelle) too was chosen as another representative.
They are to detail their running experiences so as to inspire other lady runners to run. The timing was perfect as Chantelle is participating in the Singapore
International Marathon (on 4 Dec 05) for the FULL marathon category. All her training experiences would be very useful to other runners, especially the lady runners. I hope that more lady runners will take up running after reading their running experiences.
This is the first time where a lady friend who runs with us is taking up the full marathon challenge. To make things more exciting, she is doing her first full marathon in a foreign land. Of course, the Penguin Runners are giving her the support. Our Mountain Sifu, Tony (Penguin-3), is doubled-up as her trainer to ensure that she crosses the finishing line within standard qualifying time for her maiden marathon race.
