Documentation: My Results in Past Major Running Events

One of the reason why I started this blog is to train my writing skills. But slowly due to busy and lazy, I almost forget to open this blog. Sigh!

I supposed to have my very first full marathon in my life on last Sunday 30 June 2013, the Standard Chartered KL Marathon. But sadly, it was being postponed due to the stupid haze. You may imagine how much time wasted, how much cost wasted, how many people were affected (there are total of 30,250 runners this year with more than 3000 overseas runners). 

For myself and my buddy, we can't reschedule our flight and hotel, although we booked our budget flight during promotion but because we have to come again in September, we need to spend extra RM200 for transportation + accommodation. Anyway, the organiser is not to be blamed as they were making a very hard decision to postpone it for the sake of the majority runners with the unpredictable haze situation last week.

I had run in various 10km races. But for distance more than 10km, till date I had run two 17km races and two half marathon (21km) only, but then I move to full marathon this year. Some people might feel that I am putting myself on risk or I am brave. But I just think that I can do it when I see my body slowly become stronger and my confidence increases through out this 8 months.

So today I am writing this to document my result for the past major running events for my own future reference.
