I believe I’ve done well for myself last year, in term of
running. Started running since 10.10.2010 and in 2011, I finally ran my first
full marathon; which was the Standard Chartered KL Marathon (SCKLM); completed
in 5hrs42mins – my running was erratic, still doesn’t know how to pace myself
back then. A good thing about running a new distance for the first time; it
will be a personal best no matter how slow or how fast. The moment I crossed
the finish line, ……………..…………….… (No word to describe exactly what I felt, sheer
enjoyment/disbelief?). One thing for sure, I was very proud of myself J
True to the saying
that once you start, you can’t stop; in November 2011 I ran my second full
marathon. This time we; that’s Masyur, Mat Rock, Afiza, Muzlifah, Izyan, Adi, Diana
and me; drove up north to run the Penang Bridge International Marathon (PBIM).
Since it is only my 2nd full Marathon, I didn’t put my hopes up too
high. I read a few articles; that your second full marathon will be harder than
your first; their reason is that when you run your first full marathon, you are
basically running full of adrenaline and excitement. Being reminded of that, I just want to improve
my time and run at my usual pace (by this time, I have known what is my pace).
Apart from the two significant events in my life, I also ran
two half marathons and a few 10km races. So here is a list of all the runs that
I participated in 2011.
So, in 2011, I ran two full marathons (PB: 4hrs20mins for
PBIM)
- Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2011 – 5hrs42mins
- Penang Bridge International Marathon – 4hrs20mins
- Energizer Night Race – 2hrs45mins
- Putrajaya Night Marathon – 2hrs26mins
and other distances run
(PB: 1hr04mins for Nike We Run KL).
- Siemens (10km) – 1hr7mins
- Nike We Run KL (10km) – 1hr4mins
- Men’s Health Night Run (12.3km) – 1hr18mins
- Adidas King of The Road (16.8km) – 1hr50mins
