Road to Climbing Mountain Kinabalu Part 2

 

Dimban Fun Run 

There must be a reason, why I didn't exercise more in March 2016 😊 When I checked my apps (Runkeeper), only a few recorded in March.  It was either my apps was broken or I switched to other apps (Samsung Health). I was using both apps last time but since my handphone cannot handle both, I stick to Runkeeper coz it's easier to use.  But in April, I paid back 💪

Road to Climbing Mountain Kinabalu Part 1

My first run - managed to get 5th place

                                                  

To climb Mountain Kinabalu, I was told, you must be in the best of health, fit and mentally strong.  There is no specific training.  It is all up to us.  

So, the first thing came in my mind is jogging and hiking.  I don't want to say much here.  I just share what I did prior to the climbing.  I used Runkeeper apps to record all my activities.

Road to Climbing Mountain Kinabalu

 

When I first planned that I wanted to climb Mountain Kinabalu, I said I will document it in a blog.  But I never get to my pc to do the documentation.  Recently, my son urged me to do it as a remembrance he said.  Then, here I am.

This happened in 2016.  

My brother who works at Sabah Parks booked a date for the climb.  It was on the 26th November 2016.  He booked it early January 2016.  He told us, you have 10 months to get prepared.  I've never thought that I could climb the highest mountain in South East Asia.  So I asked my brother, if it's okay that I climb up to Laban Rata a.k.a. Panar laban only.  His reply, "up to you".

So, the journey began.

Check on my next post 😅

Evening Run

 

3km only 

The sun was setting down

The wide and clear sky

Morning Walk

As I said in my previous posting, I wanted to go for a morning walk today.  And yes, I did.  But I woke up quite late.  Reached at the starting point at 6.55am.  Warmed up and did some stretching before I began my walk.  I thought of doing 3km walk but I ended up doing 5km.

Saw this buffalo. It seemed like he was having fun with the leaves 

Should I be afraid of them?

I did 2.5km in 32 minutes

Saw him again on my way back. Those leaves had gone

 5km in 55 minutes. This is no good.  I've done 13km in 1 hour 😅

It's 2020

I think my last post was in 2015.  That was five years ago.  Gosh! That long.  

Ok now.  It's 2020 and it is already in October.  Times fly so fast especially now as we are facing a tough time with this Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic.  Continue praying guys.  May God have mercy on us.

I was having a breakfast with my son this morning and we were talking so many things and one of them is about climbing a mountain where back in 2016.  Yes. I climbed Mt Kinabalu that year together with my husband and son.  So, were talking about the trips and out of a sudden my son said, why don't you blog your experience?  I said, ya I really want to, but I just don't have a time.  My son said, "Make Time".  So he set up my computer again and here I am.

Anyway, I will start writing them tomorrow (hopefully I'll remember doing it tomorrow).  It's late now.  Almost midnight (11.54pm).  I want to turn in coz tomorrow I intend to go for a morning walk.

Goodnight.

p.s. Today is the 5th day of CMCO of 3rd phase.
