The 1st Standard Chartered KL Marathon , held last 28 of June 09.

The run started at 7am and I finished with a new PR of 55mins & 22sec. The event was participated by 12,000 runners, weather was good at that time since it was cloudy and some rainshowers earlier

I arrived at City-hall at 4:30am from 1 of the shuttle buses in Tampines Stadium. The Full Marathon race would start at 5:30am. I was 1 hour early so that I’ll have plenty of time to warm up and stretch before the race begins. I also took and ate my powerbar breakfast while looking around and admiring the city-hall which was glowing beautifully from afar. I can’t imagine the excitement I felt
