Im still running- Seremban Half Marathon

some wonder if Im still active running. Yes! I am. “once a runner, always a runner” The only thing is that, I have to find time to update my blog. Last sunday, I travelled to Seremban, the capital city of Negri Sembilan, 70-80km drive from K.Lumpur for my first long distance run after the Standard Charted. I intended to use this event as my long distance and a warm up run in preparation for Shah Alam Adidas King of the road on August 2. Running in a small city like Seremban flashes me back to Tagaytay. Its a bit rural, less traffic, less buildings basically like a small province city outskirt of K.Lumpur. The environment is green and better air compare to K.Lumpur where it is covered with haze and pollution.

It was a solo run as usual. But able to chit chat with some other runners. Many asked my race as Im not a chinese neither am I a Malay. My answer is, Im an Iban tribe from the Land of Hornbill- Sarawak. And Im residing in K.Lumpur. The moment I mention that Im an Iban tribe, they think of the famous long house, the Iban headhunters and great worriors of the 50’s and 60’s. Well, its always great to run among the major races  (Chinese, Malays, Indians) in Malaysia. 

Well, I have no specific target for this event. I came for a long run, whatever the finishing time! I’ll be happy, what more if I came finish the event below 2 hours- and I did. 1 hr. 52mins. Not a suprise finishing time for me. This event is not my race, Im looking forward to Adidas King of the road- 22k next month. And I hope to make a new PR for myself.

Im still running! – the smile on my face as I reach towards the finishing line. This is a local race, and I don’t expect it to be professionally organize. It was a simple event.

Post at the finishing line. simple but well organize.
