Its under distance!! 39.36km according to my GPS...bluueeekk!!! My timing of 4: 31 was invalid...Ceh!!.
It was poorly organized! Most of the marshal went back already because there was none to direct full marathon runners when we entered the F1 track, no marsyal to direct you to collect your medal..oh wait...I don't get my medal and finisher T!!

The pit area was almost empty when full marathoners finished their run, compared to thousands of other categories what I heard earlier.

The route mostly hilly and pitch dark. I don't really know my pace was, i can't see my watch. Damn!!.

Managed to get hold of Speedy Yim Eng Fatt with a stunning 5.29 minutes pace per km (or even faster..crazy!!) until 1.2 km only. He vanished when i stopped at water station. What a strong runner.

On my last loop, I bump into che daud, who was walking. Told him to take it easy.

I got a few mild cramps now and then especially after 30th KM, then it disappeared. One runner who i knew had made only 4 loops..yeay...!!

Congrats to First time marathoners - Izzuan, Deo & Che Daud - not a virgin anymore. You guys rock!!!

Ah...as long i finished this run...enough said lah..!!..

SHORT POST : HOMELESS

Kasihanilah mereka...

KUALA LUMPUR: Close to 1,200 homeless people roam the city every day and the Welfare Department has proposed a one-stop intervention centre, to be later set up nationwide, to reduce their number.

Among the tasks of the proposed centres will be to provide the homeless with medical attention and help them find jobs. They will also provide an early intervention programme for drug addicts, mental patients, senior citizens and beggars.

Children found roaming the streets will be put in proper homes while efforts are made to trace the whereabouts of their parents.

A study, carried out by the Welfare Department between March and June this year, showed that the majority of the homeless were from the old, poor and low-income group, or runaways who had fled their hometowns to avoid peer pressure or large families, some with as many as 18 family members under one roof.

Some of them were gangsters, drug addicts, mentally unstable or former prisoners rejected by their family or neighbours.
