The Highs Of 2009

This was an exciting year for me and Team FatBird on the running front, which saw the growth of the Team FatBird running community and various marathon training operations. I had a 'quiet' year in terms of race participation, as I officially ran in one 10km, 15km, 21km and 42km, Ultra-Marathon race each. However, the successes of Team FatBird Runners & Marathon Trainees more than rewarded me and the team with their many PBs and rave reviews. The following are key highlights of 2009 as we welcome 2010:

1. Launched Operation NightHawk, a 12-week night marathon training program for Sundown 2009
2. Successfully organized Operation Kingfisher, a 6-week half-marathon training program for the Singapore Bay run/Army Half Marathon (SBR/AHM).
3. Achieved my half marathon PB of 1hr40min at the AHM (with no specific training)
4. Participated in run-leading and marshaling for the various Nike Runs and Race Preparation Training
5. Getting Team FatBird involved in SCSM09 Run For A Cause by recruiting runners for charity, and offering free marathon training for RFAC participants, and getting rewarded with a most meaningful and rewarding experience.
6. Getting Team FatBird Pacers team appointed as official marathon pacers of SCSM09. participants to achieve their respective timing goals. We had a larger team of 50 Pacers this time.
7. Extended Team FatBird to manage and lead more I-Run sessions
8. Fielded Team FatBird Athletes in the NorthFace 100 Ultra-Marathon
9. Achieved my 10km PB of 44min at the Nike Human Race Run (without training as well)
10. Completed a most successful Operation Sunbird, a 12-week full marathon training program for SCSM 2009
11. Initiated and implemented the Run With Marathon Pacers Program
12. Made lots more new friends and running kakis
13. Enjoyed a whole year of injury-free running

May 2010 bring more cheers and joys in running for me and Team FatBird :)
