Perlis Marathon 2016

Assalamualaikum semua,

Perlis Marathon 2016 (29 May 2016) adalah tahun kedua dianjurkan. Berbanding dengan tahun 2015, tahun ini memperlihatkan tambahan bagi full marathon 42 km dan dengan penambahan hadiah wang kemenangan.

Seperti biasa, saya hanya mampu masuk half marathon 21km. Tak mampu lagi nak ke full marathon. Untuk yang 21 km ni pun, training tak cukup. Nasib baik dapat menamatkan perlumbaan dalam masa yang ditetapkan.

Dalam first 10km pertama, larian agak steady. Saya lari dengan pace yang constant tapi perlahan. Mission saya, asal perlahan tapi constant, maintain the same pace. Masuk the next 10 km agak memeritkan, maklumlah training pun tak banyak dan tak constant. Tapi gagah jugak perlahan-lahan menamatkan perlumbaan. Apa yang saya buat untuk saya keep running sewaktu letih ialah dengan mengikut lari dibelakang orang yang lari lebih laju dari saya. Macam gunakan diorang sebagai tarikan...hahaha..memang berjaya dalam untuk the last 10km. Finishing time saya untuk kali ini slightly better than NTRC 3 States Run april lalu.

Dari segi penganjuran, traffic agak bagus, water station pun seperti apa yang sepatutnya. Perlis Marathon 2016 banyak improvement jika dibandingkan dengan tahun lalu.

Yang bestnya bila pergi marathon ialah saya akan jumpa banyak kawan baru. Ada yang datang dari Lembah Klang semata-mata untuk marathon. Teserempak juga dengan rakan UIA saya dulu sebelum marathon bermula.

Itu saja untuk kali ini, jumpa lagi dilarian akan datang. Sekian, terima kasih.

Relaxlah!!!

Assalamualaikum and hi all,

I'm again. I don't have specific title for today. Just to update few things that I'm currently doing.

1. I start recording my own video. Not every day, but only when I feel necessary. The purpose is motivated myself. I've a lot to say but since nobody besides me, so I say it in front of camera. It's like releasing something that I have deep down in my heart. I might share some videos here if I feel necessary and if it can motivate other people.

2. I currently reading the book title The Death of Money, by James Rickards. This book explain the global monetary system aka fiat money. I'm halfway finish this book and it look like this book providing me the answers for some the questions that I have in my mind for long time. Insya-Allah, I will write my review on this book if time permit.

3. I start thinking to do the investment in gold. I wanna but gold and keep by myself. This is not investment on paper/electronic paper. This long term investment where I constantly but gold every month and keep myself. When I need instant money, then I can just go to Ar-Rahnu for exchange.

4. I will turn 30 next year. People keep asking when I want to get married. Some people who first time met me assume that I am a married man. ermm..nampak sangat dah tua...I personnaly don't know when I wanna get married. No Idea, no candidate, no money and I'm still looking for what I want for my life. Feel my life a quit kucar-kacir since few years. I now focus more on helping and make sure my little brothers finish their school and universities and then have work and family.

5. Marathon- I'm not joining the Penang Bridge this year due to the time constraint of training. But I'm focus on the next year with Bornea Interntional Maraton and Perlis Marathon will most likely I will participate. And most probably unable to participate for my first triathalon - Triathalon Putrajaya next year, due to many factors.

6. Need to save money for registration Tabung Haji for my mother and myself. My mother getting old and hope she will have time to go to Mecca. Bring my mother to Hajj is a gift to her for her long life struggle to raised us and give us best education. I need to keep money about Rm 3k to open the Tabung Haji account for me and my mother.

7. If you reading this, please pray for me. If you first time visitor to this blog, I just wanna say hai. My name is Faizal...and you?

Run Again

I run again in marathon (this time was Perlis Marathon) after the last Penang Bridge International Marathon last year. This run wasn't the best one. Last minute registration and without training, I clocked time 1 hour 33 minutes for 10 Km. My little brother did better, reached 11 minutes earlier than me.

In term of organizer, at finish line there was no free water or food. Participants has to buy drinks and foods from food stalls located not far from the finish line. Water station available along the race route. As the event will be come again next year and with additional full marathon (42 km) category, hope they will improve on this.

My hope on that day was not to win the marathon but to get main lucky draw, a Kia Cerato. But I wasn't lucky enough...hahahah..


That's all

Thank You.
