Penang Bridge Marathon!

Decision had been made months ago even before school reopen...that is go for marathon!
There was a Penang Bridge marathon on 24th June, about 3 weeks ago...Thank GOD my foot & ankle are recovering from pain...
Besides that, Penang Bridge marathon was a great experience ever...even with lots of obstacles but we still enjoyed it...
for full marathon: 42 km, time limit: 6 hours
for half marathon: 22.3 km, time limit: 3 hours
for fun run: 10 km, time limit: unknown (none of us join)
Men (different starting point) started first followed by women


3 of us joined the half marathon,
My dad reached in 2 hours +; my sis 2 hours ++; me myself 2 hours+++(almost 3 hours...just in time) still...those took more than 3 hours less than 4 hours to reach, also received finisher medals and certificates....

proud of myself...

worst that, we have to walk back to suite (hotel) after the marathon! It was about 3.5 km...OMG, know why? no cab around after the run...the bridge and some of the roads still closed... :(

according to my sis, this year's organiser wasn't good...the previous year's better...just agreed..personally I felt that too...even though this is the 1st time I run..



good thing is we have goodies bags & free food & drinks (actually included in the payment):





full marathon: RM 50, half-marathon: RM 25






all girls at Kek Lok Si Temple...










At Ghee Hiang,




a day before the marathon...






and I celebrated my 20th birthday!

at Fisherman's Manhattan at Queensbay Mall! Thanks to all bro & sis who made the celebration successful, I was surprised, I didn't even expect for this celebration...& I received 20 birthday sms...thanks to my dear friends! (I think more than that if includes the belated one)..LOL...
