I realized a lot of blogger that I'm following is actually a runner - a marathon runner to be exact. If you read My Workout Diary, you'll know that running is not really my thing. No, I do not despise it. It's just that I don't have the patience and endurance to end a running race.
I find it more to a mental challenge rather than a physical challenge. Sometimes it's very much obvious that my body still can go on, but inside my head I keep saying, this is bored, let's do other workout. My best record on the mill is only 4km.
Deep down of my inner heart, I always wanted to join a marathon run and finish it at least once. Previously I joined a 7km run by Sutera Habour, Sabah and I don't think I manage to run half way before I decided to quit and go back for the free 100 Plus refill. I think that was plus minus 7 years back.
Now that I'm in KL, I have all the events going on here yearly, and I shouldn't let it go to waste without giving it a try! Oh yeah, I'm aiming for that Adidas 10km run. No idea if they will still have it next year or not but for sure, one of my resolution for 2012 is to join a marathon run and finish it!
Eugene, Ying Ying and Massy, I think you all will be going for the Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 right? If yes then all the best! Perhaps we might bump into each other next year in some marathon race, haha :D
PS: Anyone else here is a marathon runner?

ReplyDeleteHave to start to love it since I'm planning to join a marathon next year :D
Oh I understand that feeling! Last time back in Keningau I always jog from Masjid Besar Keningau sampai Hospital baru then jog back again. I think its around 4km distance. Tapi sepanjang perjalanan takut kena langgar ni, haha.
ReplyDeleteOkay bah! Lets make a date to run together next year.
Hehe perhaps it time to join another one somewhere next year :D
ReplyDeletehmmm can't remember when's the last time i joined marathon....2007 i think..huuhuu i feel old! i wish i can join it again...
ReplyDeleteOf course you still can join! if you feel old then what about me? can keep me in the museum already, haha :D
ReplyDeleteaww penang marathon? i wanna join KL one!
ReplyDeleteyeah, i also noticed that the trend has slowly shifted from photography to marathon running now, haha.. seems like more and more people around me are going for the run except myself, haha.. and yes, i agree it's a mental thing as well as a physical thing..
ReplyDeleteI thought there is one going on in KL at the moment? Haha. Will wait for your post about that :D
ReplyDeleteHaha I never started with photography tho at one point I wanted to, but I figure its just not what I do best :D
ReplyDeleteCome la [SK]... lets join a marathon next year!
