DEEJAYS Linora Low and Mynn Lee from Red FM will not only be cheering on participants of the PJ Half Marathon at the Petaling Jaya Stadium in Kelana Jaya tomorrow but to compete in the race as well.
Linora, who has signed up to run her first 10km race, said she had always envisioned to run but never really got to doing it.
When the 27-year-old found out about the run from her colleagues, she immediately made sure she would not miss it.
Juggling between work and training has been difficult but Linora said she tried to spend some time working out at home on the treadmill, running as well as stair climbs and dynamic squats.
Raring to go: Linora (left) and Mynn doing some stretching exercise and jogging (below) during their training session. “When I have the time, I will drop by the gym to workout with my colleagues,” said the former aerobic instructor.
She added that persuading her colleagues to participate was one difficult task as they often too busy with work commitments or were not interested.
“The lifestyle here is different, not everyone is into sports and working out, hopefully I will be able to persuade them into running with me one day,” said Linora who hosts the Eleven-2-Three show on the station.
For Mynn, who used to be an active runner, work got the better of her, hence she had not been able to participate in runs actively.
Mynn, a former gymnast during her schooling days, said she would love to join Low but she had been given the duty of being the emcee of the race with DJ Jeremy Teo.
“We will there from morning cheering on everyone and Linora of course, I don’t think I am allowed to run in any event that day,
“So I will be at the stadium with Jeremy screaming our lungs out and cheering everyone on to the finish line,” said Mynn who hosts the Late Night Love Songs programme.
Petaling Jaya mayor Datuk Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman and Star Publications group managing director Ho Kay Tat are expected to flag off the PJ Half Marathon.
About 5,000 participants have signed up for the event with four distance — 21km, 10km, 5km and 3km fun run.
