Hi, this is Pei Ling aka YN aka Yrannath reporting LIVE from TFB Media … Oops ..I am not reporting TFB Sports Channel NEWS .. hahahaha ..But YES!, a lot of people got confused with YN and Yrannath and Pei Ling and a lot has been asking me this question..”eh your name how to pronouce ah?” Well, just come and ask me and I will tell you HOW alright. :D

It is really amazing how I started to appreciate and enjoy running since last year (Y2008) which initially I do not fancy at all. I prefer to do more gym workout when I joined Planet Fitness Gym (now called True Fitness) in Y2001. Some of my favorite Les Mills classes includes Body Attack, Body Combat, Body Pump and Body Step and not forgetting some Body Jam and Yoga classes too .. (I am trying to find time to attend and I promise I WILL BE BACK ) ..

Part of the people who contributed to this new addiction of mine includes my 2 Gal Frenz A1 & A2. A1 asked me to accompany her to sign up for AHM06 which I did my very 1st Maiden 10km Run and 1st 21km at SCSM06. After which I did my 1st Full Marathon in SCSM07 without any training and as such I hit the wall at 35km and had to brisk walk all the way. It ended with me not being satisfied with the result and was determined to try again in Y2008.

However I was very sad when I injured myself in April 2008 where I couldn’t gym or train my running. Soon after my recovery, my Gal Fren A2 introduced me to i-Run at River Promenade to start and train my run for SCSM08.

I never regret taking the 1st step and here I am, glad to be invited and joined Team Fatbird (a current TFB Member) where I get to meet a lot of running Buddies and Kakis and alot of Sifus for sharing their running experiences and most important .. I was able to contribute my fair bit for the running circle by encouraging and inspiring more people to pick up running as a sport.

This year marked a very special year for me as I participated in a few events (thanks to some friends’ kind offer – you know what I mean, I shun elaborate here : ) and I am also excited to be part of the TFB SCSM Pacer 09 Team under 4hr as a Pacer. So guys and gals out there, do join me and my Teammates @ SCSM09 on 6 Dec 2009 – to achieve and complete your race with a different experience : )
