But behold! Running has slowly replacing hiking as the favorite hobby!
People ask why I love to run. One simple reason, syok sendiri.
Other than that it's the process of pushing yourself to wake up early in the morning to train for the run. Slacked once and you will feel the pain.
It's also about achieving your target. The medals are what I'm for.
It's also about improving oneself. It's devastating if you didn't beat you personal best or achieve the pace desired.
It's also about overtaking other people. It's real exciting to speed through and say bye (not literally) to them. It's also about reminding yourself there's always someone better and faster out there...so it's still ok to be overtaken but as long as you are clear on your goal. No point chasing others' shadow.
It's also about exploring the roads with your own feet.
And of course, the free foods (not free, technically paid) after the run.
And 100 Plus tastes 100% better during the run.

Struggled at last 5KM, but an enjoyable half marathon. Crazy that I drove all the way up and back.

Was a last minute sign up. Lack of training. Disaster. Physically unfit after KM12..
and poor organising to make the run a bleh...

Missed the KL half marathon so it's actually a replacement. Just nice distance to prepare for full marathon. A lot of bananas provided! Didn't get hungry along the run.
One year of running and it will end with full marathon at Penang on 16/11/2014!
