Penang Bridge International Marathon is just round the corner. I just wanna make the best of my Penang Bridge Marathon this year. Last year, I ran while I was still in my sadness & mourning mood over my father's death. I even cried in between the run & luckily no one noticed. But I realised later, the sadness turned out to be my strength to finish up the 42.195km run. So, this time, I'll still be remembering that moment a year ago, crying on the Penang Bridge. Finished by 5:20:00 hrs at the 19th position of Women Open Category, behind Reita K, the Fear Factor Season 1 Champion, I said to myself last year, "This may not be my fastest marathon, but it will be my most special."
Finally, for once in a year, the Penang Bridge will be closed for 7 hours on 24th June 2007. The race is back this year & I wanted to make the most of the race day. I'm browsing thru my marathon "checklist" again for my own updates & reminder.
# Keep on training & to be ready to adjust my pace on race day.
# Best advice & to keep reminding myself - "Start easy - don't push the pace,"
# To practice running easy up & down a hill to strengthen the quads
# To decide on the running shoe - Saucony Phoenix Grid 2 or Mizuno Racer
# Running attire - DONE!

Double route via Double Hill
New Balance Pacesetters 15km Run
Sunday, 20th May 2007
Padang Merbok, KL
Put on my Saucony Phoenix Grid 2 for the 15km run. Felt good & the softness supported my ankle throughout the run. The Double Hill route was not that bad. I love running uphill actually. At first, I aimed to finish by 1:15hrs but later changed my mind to finish within 1:30 - 1:45hrs. Finally, plus-minus, did it by 1:43++ I think so, will check the online results at the Pacesetters website soon. Met Julita, Haza, Zailan, PM1 & frenz, the SG runners & all the familiar runners. A very well organized running event.
While walking to the car to go home, dropped by at the Pacesetters tent & saw Ms Jenny sorting out the GE-Pacesetters 30km Run Certificates (with photo) which was held in January 2007. She told me that I could search for my own certificate, so I did. A nice certificate. Call up the Pacesetters's office if you want to have yours.
