5KM Fun Run - that's the category which I took part this morning. Woke up early in the morning, 4.20a.m, have my breakfast & shower, I drove to Taman Segar Leisure Mall to take the Rapid KL...But I missed the bus. I took a normal Rapid KL bus to Kotaraya & walked to Dataran Merdeka. By the time I reached there, the 42km, 21km & 10km event has been flagged off. I meet up with my friend there & lepak-lepak around to "kap chai" while waiting for our event flag off @ 8.00a.m. According to the official website, there're more than 16,000 participants this year, can you imagine that many??? Well as for me, I started with running, but i slowed down to walking before the 1km mark. I can't run but i can walk.....It's not so difficult coz I can manage to finish the walk in less than an hour time. I feel great, that's why I decided maybe next year can join the 10km run. Always set higher target for myself, start with the easy one first & gradually take the longer route....I think this will be good. I saw many many older people joining the full & half marathon, some uncles in 50's & 60's, they are damn fit...really salute them.....Mostly are regulars @ marathon events, I think some are belongs to certain running clubs coz they join in a big group. It's good to have interest groups training together for events. It must be FUN...cheering for each other......All in all, a good experience for me & I learned that I'm still physically fit (my standard)...LOL!
