The "Noise & Fume" Half Marathon
I was told that last week PJ Half Marathon (Sept 18, 2005) were ran in a condition where there are heavy traffic along the way, coupled with the road construction along the stretch to Terminal 3. Runners inhaled carbon monoxide plus noise pollution where angry drivers of vehicles staring at a group of runners blocking their way right in the early hours of the day. This was bad and probably hard to do a PR even though the route is pretty flat as compare to PutraJaya Half Marathon. WoW!!!, this is sad and should never happen in a race like that. Anyway for those who ran the race, I hope you have enjoy it and maybe some will regret doing it because of the condition. (nothing against the organizer). Hope this won't happen in next year race and maybe not running along the Federal Highway. How about running along the housing estate of PJ, part of Universiti Malaya, Section 1,2,3,4....... and finished at Universiti Malaya
Cheers...............
Life is not all about work and making money. There is no life without good health, and my key principle in life is to stay healthy and enjoy the utmost of things that come along. I encourage friends that I know to do whatever form of outdoor exercise that they like to stay healthy. For me, running and mountain trekking is one way to challenge myself all the time and see how far I can go, and on top of it stay healthy.
