Celebrating Chinese New Year

As forecasted, Year 2006 – the Year of Fire Dog – is going to be a great year for business because it combines with strong yang and bright elements, strong fire and strong earth element. Hmm… sound like these are the good elements for running too. Runners need the strong fire, passion and enthusiasm in taking on the challenges.

“The only job security you have today is your commitment to continuous personal improvement” a quote by Ken Blanchard. So, my extended version for the Lunar New Year would be: The only health security you have today is your commitment to running. Keep running, and don’t stop.

Other than the existing running events, we have two exciting new marathons this year: the Kuching marathon on 26 March and Putrajaya marathon on 10 September. In addition, the Awana Trailblazer is back on 3 September.

Let us usher in the Lunar Year of Fire Dog with a Bang. Since this weblog is soundless, please turn on the Chinese New Year music to initiate the celebration mood.

Once again, it is that time of the year where everyone is awaiting to ‘balik kampong” (country road, take me home, to the place I belong) to enjoy time with family and friends. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all runners and friends who are celebrating Chinese New Year “Gong Xi Fa Cai”. To the rest, do enjoy the holidays. See you all after the break.

There will be no posting for one week as I will be “balik kampung” to celebrate the Chinese New Year. My hometown is a small rural town 60km North-West of Ipoh, Perak.

Cheers!
