Marathon runs are becoming more and more popular.  It is not unusual for a marathon event to have
20,000 to 30,000 runners taking part.  It can be the London Marathon, Boston Marathon, Berlin
or our Penang Bridge International Marathon where 27,500 runners took part and I was one of them.
Taking part in a run are moments of happiness for me.  The sweat, the exhaustion and then feeling
triumphant when you ended the race - what a good feeling.
Another interesting phenomenon: the Kenyans are winning most of these races - in most marathons
all over the world - both for men and women.  They must have trained very hard for their superb performance and they certainly deserve the win.  Anything worth achieving must be earned by working hard for it.
You must work hard for your education, you must work hard for your career and you must work hard
for your health.  Another good exhortation by Steve Jobs:  stay hungry, stay foolish.  I aim to stay
hungry and to stay foolish.
