No this is not the time I set for myself for this coming KLIM07 full marathon. But this was the time I achieved when I last ran the KLIM on April 19th, 1987. Yes that was exactly 20 years ago. While going thru all my certificates I stumped upon on the KLIM87 certificate and my position for this race was 169.
This Sunday I will be at the starting line again, waiting to start another KLIM race after 20 years. To some of the frenz that I came to know in the past one to two years after my comeback, I believe some of you were just born or still drinking milk from the bottle or just reached puberty in 1987. And that was how long since I took up long distance running and I cannot claim to be any younger now.
Anyway it feels good to be able to run another 42k race at the KLIM again, bringing back the good old memories. I am looking forward to catch up with some of my old running buddies from the Kelab RoadRunners Ipoh too.
For this weekend race, I will stick to my motto "I will run to my fullest capabilities". No timing pressure and I will definitely enjoy every moment of it rain or shine. So I seeya all at the starting line this Sunday.
And the saying goes "Its not a miracle that I finish a race, but its a miracle that I start the race"
All the best to everyone running in KLIM07.
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.
