when i had arrived at der guard house, der road to LG children playground was blocked by cones, i realised it was still very early and i was der 1st to arrive to der playground. i started my LSD by 4.40am, it was very scary to run alone bcoz i was scare that somebody come out and KO me even i m a black belt 3rd Dan, my mind had to be alert and make sure there is nobody come out suddenly.

after had completed 2 loops, i met ronnie and join him for my 3rd loop while he was waiting for stanley to come as his pacer. i ran with them and at least not as scary as der 1st and 2nd loop i ran. after completed 3rd loop, victor loh said he wanted to put his stuff inside my car booth, i stopped and gave him an offer, in der 4th loop, he was running also but he ran in a fast pace so i decided not to follow him bcoz i juz wanted to run in slow pace.

in der of 5th loop, i met with lionel and i was glad to run with him so that i could keep going for der next few rounds. after that kelvin ng came and join us too and really had fun running with him, at least not so boring, he made us laugh and 'kacau' ppl around. after completed my 7th loop, i decided not to continue anymore bcoz i still had almost half an hour to go for der NB15k,i was quite disappointed where i could not complete 9 loops b4 NB15k, i would continue for another 2 loops if i had more energy after NB15km. i quickly changed my vest, pant, shoes, and most importantly drink endorox to get fast recovery. i was quite tired already, and worried whether i could still continue with another 15km, somehow i had to continue since this was part of my long run.

i rushed to der starting point bcoz i knew it was almost 7am, i managed to find some space and squeeze into and found meyya, kelvin and ryan. der race finally flagged off and der human traffic was juz like jam in KL city, i pressed my watch only after i crossed der mat. in deer park, there was a lot runners stuck there and i juz hardly pass any runner. i juz wanted to follow ryan and kelvin today since my body was tired. after 2km i realised my fitness dropped guadually and lost der gap between them, i was very suffer especially in der hills. i had no choice and juz kept on running with myself. i saw rohaimy at der water station approximately 5km, i wanted to follow him desperately, i noticed that after awhile i lost him again as my pacer.

when came to double hill (ppl said!!), in fact many many hills, i was very frustrated and suffered like hell, i felt der hills were very long like no end when i was tired. der feeling was very different when i was fresh. i began to feel my muscles on my feet were pain, neck and hands tired, and stomach felt hungry like beating drum. after made u-turn at jln salahuddin, i felt my body almost condemn liao, after der long stretch, i stopped at der road b4 turning to der istana for almost 1km. very disappointed that i could not continue even my mind wished to. after awhile i continued running again straight to LG, however i need to run der LG loop again, i stopped again at LG loop for 200m, really could not take it, 400m to go, juz finished it with faster speed. with a lot of frustrations, i managed to complete 31km today, unfortunately i could not do another 2 loops to complete 35km.

i need to eat der hotdog bun desperately bcoz i was very hungry, cendol was my 2nd target but need to queue very long, no choice bcoz i need it! thirsty and hungry like kok! endurox 4 scoops, a big bottle of water. need to rush back for class also, what a difficult weekend!
