These was the first marathon ever in my life - Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009, it was held on 28 June 2009... Sometime in this year, i registered myself for the 10km run. The race was divided into five categories - Full Marathon (1,900 runners), Half Marathon (2,800 runners), 10km (5,100 runners), 5km Family fun run as well as the kid's dash.
On the race day itself, i took the RapidKL bus from Taman Jaya to Dataran Mederka at 5.40am, it was so early and sleepy! The RapidKL bus carried full of 10km runners! Everyone in the bus looked so excited and happy!

My main objective is to finish the 10km run, not to become a winner! At least, i tried before! When asked about whether i've well train myself for the run? The answer is NOT REALLY! I only ran on the treadmill once a week after work! The max i can do was 3km!
These run was fun, i can said! All the runners have only 1 goal which is to reach the finish point as fast as possible! In the 10km run category, majority of the runners are young people (like me), but i did see old citizen who ran faster than me (oh, very empharising)! They must be the one who run every single day! Good for them! They will have long living life!
It was a long run for me! I should have train myself to run at least 10km on the treadmill before i go for the actual run! ("If fuction" always happened to me!) Half way of my run, i felt that my hands were nubbed and were swallon! I was so scared, i thought i was going to die, but my body was okay that time! My toes were so painful, perhaps because of my new Reebok Running Shoes! Haven't really used to it yet! Okay, after all these excuses, finally, i reached the finished point!! YEAH!!
My timing was 1:44:23.77 (i thought i finished within 1 1/2 hours! because from the timing board i saw it was before 1:30). But it doesn't make much difference between 1:30 and 1:44!! hahah!! My position for 10km Women was 1259 (was it good? don't think so!)
Kind of IN LOVE with Marathon, I decided to join Half Marathon next year! So, I should prepare and train myself NOW!! Am I crazy? hahah!! It is 1 stone kill 2 birds, because besides I can train for my Marathon, I hope I can lose some weights! hahah!
Thinking of joining PJ Half Marathon this year sometime in August... But don't think The Star has publish the event! I am waiting!
