Hari Sukan Negara (10.10.2015)

A friend at work told me there is Fun Nite Run at the Town Square in conjunction with National Sports Day on 10.10.2015. It was an eight (8) km run. So, I told her, please count me in and register my name. There were 41 of us from our company participate in this run which have four different categories. On the other hand, usually my sister A is very update with any available run in Sibu but somehow, this time she didn't know about this run. She can not participate this run because she is on night shift duty.

Meanwhile, my sister B was able to join the Zumbathon which was started around 6.40pm and ended at 8.00pm. I saw my aerobic instructor on the stage. She is now a Zumba Zin. Glad that she did it. I have fun zumba-ing with my sister B. I am sure I didn't do very well because I left aerobic class quite few years now and I didn't really do this workout these days. No matter what, I sweat out a bit before start running.

We were suppose to run at 8pm but the organizer was waiting for the YB to arrive and we only flag off at 8.30pm. It looks like the event is not properly organized as well because run at night and it start very late. This is my second attempt after I failed to finish my half marathon (21km) in August 2015. I only managed to run for 15km and then my knees was so painful and I can not run anymore. So, I was decided I must finish the 8km run tonight.

Somehow, I DID IT!!!... I finish my 8km with 50 minutes. I didn't stop at all and I just run at my own pace not push my self so hard this time. My aim is to finish the run. I am glad that I did it. Thanks be to God.

It was my first time aware about this Ultra Trail Marathon event. My ex-lecturer from Universiti Malaysia Sabah inform me and i decide to participate. This will be my first trail run ever. I register for 25km run. Not really sure if i can make this but with a few other friends participate, i think we can do this together. To become a FINISHER. 

If you are interested to know more about this event, just click to the link i share above. You will be directed to the organizer website and more information about this event is explain there. 

The location of this event is at Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. The route is amazing with chill hilly area and i am sure you will be amazed by the beauty of the majestic Mount Kinabalu as well.  

Oh ya, if let say you don't have friends to run with you and you are not familiar with this place, you can contact me because my friends and i can be your running partner. 

I am much excited for this marathon even though i know the challenges i will face while running this trail. 

All the best runners!
