Daily Walk & Thots..... the Journey is just as Important as the Destination

Got up at 5.20am this morning....picked up Josh's fren Kin Wei and set off to pick Josh. The highway was closed for the KL Marathon and we had to detoured to Pantai in order to get to Taman Desa. As we set off we discovered we had not prepared properly....we are hungry. Good thing Josh's fren Foo Seng has some bananas...good source of energy.

Left Taman Desa in 3 cars and reached Padang Merbok carpark around 6.30. Dataran Merdeka was full of activities and soon there was an announcement that the lead runners of actual Marathon were only a few kilometres away from finishing line. These guys and gals can run.....just wonder what make them ticks.

Soon it was our turn to start off. Let the crowd go first.....and started a steady pace. Strangely stamina was not an issue (probably becos of the slow pace) but the tightness around the left ankle and ahemmm...the bladder gave some issues. Well, mind over matters....there will always be something that is not right with the body when you run these races. Continued the pace and finally around Sheraton Hotel (maybe 4 km) had to walk to ease the pain. Walked briskly for 200 metres and started running....strangely the pain went off. Smooth running all the way to the finish line. Good feeling.
