It is that time of the month again. First of all, here's to hoping I did not send the wrong message across. Just that its the start of a brand new month, another fresh beginning and this attempt to revive this little blog of mine is special too, its mid of 2010! But then again, looking at the past records, I dare not put much hope on this round either.
So, last Sunday, I went for the Standard Chartered KL Marathon which I missed last year due to late registration so this year, die-die also must run. Was almost late for the flag off as well, couldn't find any parking (unaware that DayaBumi wasn't accessible), bad omen. Actually, it was an unwise decision to run considering I just returned from a 4 days 3 nights 'walk-ation' in Siem Reap, Cambodia the day before. But I somehow managed to convince myself into thinking that everything will turn out just fine. Hypnosis?

Go! Go! Go! The number of participants were so overwhelming that it took me around 8 minutes to cross the starting line from flag off, can you believe that!
Turning into KL Sentral
In front of Kuen Cheng Secondary School I think (Jalan Syed Putra)
And soon enough, I realized that it was indeed a really bad decision to run because way before reaching the first water station, I was already walking due to fatigue. To make matters worst, I didn't notice any markers indicating the distance remaining along the way, so, I boosted at all the wrong locations. And in the end, I did not even finish within the qualifying time, which was the ultimate blow of disappointment *SAD*
The weather was good though, the soft, cool breeze that blew occasionally really kept me going. And along the way, I think I stunned some cheerleaders by expressing my gratitude a little too loudly unknowingly (due to my play list) or perhaps it was something else, hhmmm... Well, at least I managed to finish (just wanted to console myself, let me be), hope that I will have a better run (and timing) for the upcoming Siemens and Men's Health Night Run, both this month *Makes War Cry*
