This year, after completing a gruelling Bike Rally 2008, I looked forward to the 10km AHM & Bay Run. Alhamdulillah it doesnt disappoint either.

Together with Raihan and Fuso, we became part of 70,000 participants for this year 2008 AHM marathon which sees a marked increase as compared to last year. Being my first 10km run after NS days, I set a humble target of going below 1 hr and when I crossed the finishing line just last sunday, I clocked 1.00.59. 1 hr exactly. Alittle disappointing coz I knew I can go faster. Probably 50mins is achievable next time around.

Nevertheless, I knew that 2 weeks going to the Marathon, I didnt have time to train wf faisal and I didnt run any further than 6km so I started the 10km slow but steady. With Daud's Oakley sports sunglasses, I ran alone leaving Fuso and Raihan who came in at good timings themselves. Im satisfied that I didnt stop to walk and with thousands running in the 10km route, it gives enough motivation to keep running.

For me It was a start. A start to many marathons to try and go for.

Hopefully I can get a better running shoe (other than given by Army) so that I wont get the same 2 huge blisters at the end of last sunday run.

TN700 GEL KAYANO XIII 9393

So now I aim to get this Asics shoe that is now selling at Asics Concept Store and many other sports shop. In the website it says "The GEL Kayano XIII continues to offer the ultimate blend of support and cushioning that the series is known for. All the fit and comfort features return as well, with the added benefit of new high-tech upper materials and an expanded GEL Cushioning System"

One word: WOW!
