Woooohoooo! Ouch. My back is aching, so are my hamstrings and calves. Just yesterday, Jason, Zhi Sheng and I, and many others that I know of had participated in the annual KL Marathon! I must say that it was a challenging thing to do, but we managed to cross the finishing line on time!
Our run was scheduled at 6.15 am (42km at 5.00 am, 10 km at 7 am, and the rest were later in the morning) and as they sounded the horn (or something like that), all the runners took their very first pace, looking forward to the finishing line. What some didn't know was that, the finishing line was still far ahead (actually it was just right behind us as the starting line was also the finishing line for all the runs).
The run took us from Dataran Merdeka (Merdeka Square) to Brickfields, then to the National Palace (passed by the palace) to Loke Yew, Cheras, then to Bukit Bintang (Starhill), up the Bukit Bintang road, then down to Istana Hotel, to Jalan Ampang, passing by KLCC, then towards Jalan Sultan Ismail, and turned off to Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, and finally to the finishing line. Well, it may seem that we've run a very short distance from my brief description here, but trust me, you won't want to do the actual thing.
Anyhow, we all made it to the finishing line in 3 hours. That's a lot of running to us. We basically pushed our limits. It was really tiring at the end of the day, but we sure had a lot of fun. And we sure had created a stronger bond in our friendship.

Are we ready?? LOL. This was taken at 6.10 am, just minutes before the race began.

The rest of the day was filled with hot rubs and cool patches on our bodies. Haha. But we had fun. Did you?
#Note: Someone passed away in the 10km run, it is indeed a sad thing for such an event.
Where my medal?
