2007 Marathon achievement

For those who known me well should know that I'm crazy in running marathon last year. I've been taking part of 6 marathon in year 2007. This interest is started when I was taking part my first 5km marathon in Ipoh sponsor by the Anti-Rasuah Campaign. I was being influenced by my big brother because he is the one who ask me to join the run. I really didn't practice or done any exercises for the run. Its only 5km, is make me feel tiring.

After this, I start to aim for the Penang Bridge Half Marathon. So, I start my exercise very frequent. I've join Fitness First, I go for jogging every weekend. Before I run for the Penang Bridge Marathon, I'd joined for another Marathon in Ipoh again to test my ability to prepare for the Penang Bridge Marathon. This time is 10km.

Ipoh 10KM Marathon held on 6th May 2007.

The Penang Bridge Marathon is held on 24 June, 2007. I finally completed the run in 2 hours and 50 minutes. The feeling of the satisfaction while finish the run is really hard to describe. I really like this kind of feeling. Its make me crazy about Marathon since then.

After that, I have joined for the Big Walk sponsored by MII. Its different from Marathon whereby the contestant is allow to walk only. The fees is paid by the company, therefore I volunteer to join and as a represent for Lonpac. haha... I really not expected I was getting 5th Place for the Walk.

The next tough Marathon is held on Singapore. But before that, I also go for another Marathon which is 10KM marathon in Subang Jaya on 1st August. What a shame that I disqualify to get any medal or certificate for the run. The qualification for the run is 10KM in 1h 30min and I was taken 1h 31min to finish the run.

The Singapore Marathon is sponsored by Standard Charted Bank. This is another half marathon I was taken on 2nd December, 2007. This was be so crazy that I purposely taking bus to Singapore alone to run for this Marathon. Before this, I was get injured on my knee because of playing badminton, and this make me more serious when running for the marathon. Its takes me about 3h 30mins to complete the 22.3KM. My knee was get injured until now have not fully recovered yet. I think this would be my last marathon in my life. Hopefully, my legs get recover, then I might try for the Full Marathon which the distance is 44KM.
