My next road race in which I'll participate is the PBIM - Penang Bridge International Marathon - to be held in
November 20th.  Expected number of runners from all over the world will be around 20,000.  The run has four
categories: the full marathon (42 km), the half-marathon (21 km), the quarter-marathon (10 km), and fun run,
(10 km).  I'll be running the quarter-marathon and last year I clocked 69 minutes for that distance.  About 7000
runners took part in this category and I met one runner from Singapore who is 80 years old - how great!  To
experience running on the Penang Bridge at 6.00 am in the morning is simply heavenly - my adrenalin rush!
I have already decided to make this Penang Bridge Run to be my annual pilgrimage.  More, on my next posting.

There is another jogging site and this is more challenging: it's called Taman Hutan SUK.  It's situated just below the Selangor Govt. office complex.  The jogging path surrounds a small lake and undulates up a hill right up to
the war memorial monument. This hilly path  is more challenging and one is breathing hard and panting by the
one reaches up the highest point - the war memorial monument.  Sometimes one hears the chattering of monkeys up the tall trees.  It's exhilarating and one feels close to nature.
