International Penang Bridge Marathon 2009

Penang Bridge International is back ! but what’s up with that ? no no … I am not going back ! Last years run is my last, I am officially putting a stop to my marathon run. I started participating in International Penang Bridge Run in year 1997 and never stop running ever since, but I am putting a stop to it this year and make last years run my last. It started off in year 1997 when my late aunt ask me to join her for the run and register me for the 10km run, I asked 2 of my friends to join for fun. After that year, I am seriously involved in the run and keep pushing myself to win the run. One year after another I push harder and harder. I will be very disappointed if I am not able to join the marathon and is willing to do everything I can with all my might to participate in that run. You can say that I am addicted to it, why ? I don’t know ! I even tell people that I run at least 22km a year compare to other normal human being, how crazy is that ?! Plus all the walking and other marathon, I think I walk or run more compare to other people .. haha ! ok ok ..enough of those crap … !

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2008 is my last run. As we all know in politic, last year the opposition party take over Penang and from what I heard is that, they don’t have enough fund to run the marathon and I almost cry because of that. When they finally decided to organize the run again, I participated and this time my brother is coming along. Year 2008’s run is a bit different compare to the previous one. 1st is organize by the opposition party, haha .. I don’t care actually … 2nd the run is 25 km instead of 22km. 3rd location is next to Queens Bay Mall instead of in USM

This year, year 2009, I am not running anymore, my brother is not here to be with me in the run anymore. Last year is the 1st time I am in the worst rank of my marathon run history, my run time screw up, I lost my winning medal too and I also injured my ankle thou I finish the run but my brother is the one who help me to the finish line, holding him on his shoulder and walk till the end coz I just won’t quit, to sit there and wait for the ambulance to come and take me up is not my thing.

Actually I don’t understand what I write here …. My writing seems to be out of order, but I need to get something out from my mind and most importantly from my heart, Penang Bridge Run has been .. like … very important to me … I won’t miss even a run … to stop this is quite hard for me and people even ask me a lot of question why … so the bottom line is … I am not going back for penang bridge run …. Why ? Coz I am not going back without my brother!

So here I am saying Goodbye to Penang Bridge Run.
