Joy and Nomi took the plunge and signed up for their first 10km running race ever in May 2010 in Singapore at the Sundown Race event...Then they trained for a half marathon in the fall of 2010, Joy's in Canada and Nomi's in Malaysia...Then, they finished their second-ever half marathon in Singapore May 2011 at the Sundown Race event, but this time they ran together!

Then their sporting paths diverged: Nomi went on to run marathons while Joy learned how to ride a bike. This blog charts their progress from 2010 to 2012.

Read their blog to see what their sporting adventures look like or just look at the pictures of Canada's capital city and Malaysia's capital city.

Leaving on a jet plane...

..don't know when I'll be back again.  So sang John Denver, Peter Paul & Mary, and then my own fellow Winnipegger, Chantal Kreviaziuk.  Now those lyrics belong to me, Joy the peripatetic runner!  I've done my last two runs here in Malaysia; I've taken stock of my paintball bruises; I've hugged and kissed as many family and friends here that I can get my hands and lips on; I've packed my bags; and I'm about to hop on a plane to head back to Canada.

But before I lug my over-filled suitcases down the stairs and out to await the taxi in the early morning dawn, I figure I'll leave this one, last post as a shout out to everyone just to say thanks.  Thanks for running with me; thanks for hangin' out with me; thanks for playing paintball with me; thanks for feeding me; and thanks for reading about my adventures in this part of the world.

And now...I hate to wake you up to say goodbye, but I'm leavin' on a jet plane...
