Nike Run 2010 'We Run KL' !

10 km in 1 hour 19 minutes was the time recorded. Well, I thought it was not bad as the last time I ran more than 1 km was 5 years back and that was only 1.5km. I had to go to Uni at 5 am because the bus left at 530am. We reached there around 615 am, there were around 30 of us from Monash but around 2000 people participated the run.

It was a whole new experience as I've never ran a marathon or an official run like that. I actually signed up for 5 km but on the day itself, I happen to find out that Monash signed in for 10km for all. So I was like ok, that's double. However, turned out to be fine because surprisingly I found 5km kind of short. 10 km was just nice.

Great to see old, young, local, foreign, etc people running. I mean I especially respect the adults who participated the run, sacrificing their sundays for this event or should I say exercise. It's quite cool running on closed highways where cars will normally travel at 80km/h. You get a sense of freedom and inspired to run even more.

Bad thing was I wore my futsal shoes to run because those are my only sports shoes. Bad because futsal shoes have a flat sole and I have a neutral sole [normal arch]. I'm planning to get a pair of running shoes soon, maybe end of this year, aiming for lunarglide!
