Forever 28~

Finally, I did it.

I completed my first half-marathon on 27th June 2010. It was a milestone for my running record. I started my very first run for 10km at SCKLM 2009. Then, I soft of addicted to running. Hence, I decided to take this challenge, to compete at half-marathon!

I was the 655th runner to complete the half-marathon and it took me 2 hours 11 minutes 57 seconds. I am glad with my achievement especially I could complete it within my targeted time. I ran continuously without stop (except very short period for taking sips), and thanks to the flat route as well.

Should I challenge full marathon next year? This is still a big question in my head. As I aged, my stamina decreases drastically. Let’s finish all the up coming run in this year first, then only think about next year~

This will be the second time I joined Standard Chartered KL-Marathon (SCKLM). This is the biggest marathon event in Malaysia. I joined 10 KM run last year. Then, I decided half-marathon (21.5KM) this year.

I went to collect the race pack on the first day of the distribution. The collection venue is at Stadium Titiwangsa. I have no idea how to go there, luckily, they provide shuttle bus from Titiwangsa LRT station to Stadium Titiwangsa.

Compared to last year, the collection procedures are better than last year. At least it is in air-conditional environment. I went during lunch time and I spent less than 45 minutes to collect it. Besides, I like the NB vest this year. Finally I got a vest which is fit to me!

There is NB booth outside the venue. They give 30% discount on all shoes; hence I bought another pair of running shoe! At the same time, the running socks are selling at RM18 (original price RM49), so I grabbed the chance to get a pair too!

I am so excited for tomorrow’s run. It is my first half-marathon. See tomorrow!

Our next charity visit to orphanage is fixed on 7th February 2010, Sunday. This is the second charity event that organized by a friend of mine after Taman Sinar Harapan visit. Since there are some remaining funds from last visit, hence, they decided to have the second visit before Chinese New Year. This time, the beneficial home is at Ti-Ratana Welfare Home which is located in Salak South Bahru (Desa Petaling).

I get to know a friend from other charity event that I attended last time, we chatted through MSN and I informed her about this event. She is still thinking to join but she said she knows nobody there except me (honestly, I don’t know most of the people that I tagged along last visit :p). But, she decided to donate RM50. Then, she transferred the money to my bank account immediately. I think she really trust me, Haha.

Hence, I decided to post this event on my blog to see whether I can help in raising the fund. If you would like to donate money, clothes, or even foods, do leave me a message. I will try my best to arrange on goods pick up. If you trust me as my friend did, you can choose to transfer money to my account as well. Anyway, that would be better if you can join the event, the more the merrier~! See you there~

I woke up in the early morning on Sunday. Chinese New Year is just around the corner, hence I was volunteering to participate the “spring cleaning” at the monastery in USJ. I was expecting things could be done within half day but I only got back at 6pm.

I was stink after cleanup the kitchen and the drain. You wouldn’t want to know what I’d done to clear the drain. That was the first time I did that as well. Since I decided to do, then I have to do the best for them. At the same time, I get to know few friends as well.

After a tiring work, I was wondering whether my family has done the spring cleaning or not… Perhaps I should go back next week and help up my own family too. Have you done house spring cleaning yet?
