Malakoff 12km 2009
An interesting morning ... it was indeed an interesting run today.
This year's run was very well organised without any hiccups or anything in between to complain about. However, the following surprises were surely worth mentioning:-
- No run for Captain Steven today! He had to contend to being on the sideline with the cheering crowd due to the pain on his right knee. Possibly an injury sustained during the PBIM last month. We know his feet was itching to run since he had his gear all ready just in case. But alas, it's a risk not worth taking if he does not want to be on the sideline again in the coming Putrajaya Night Marathon.
- A race to a marriage proposal ... ha! a special occasion indeed. We were all at awe when a young chap ran across the finish line with a bouquet of roses in his arm. Upon crossing the finish line, he made the beeline for a pretty lass among the spectators, knelt down and you got it! A newly engaged couple!
Wonder when's the wedding day? Who knows ... perhaps one of these days, a bride and groom might be running with you to a wedding reception at the finish line. Wow! then all the runners can toast "Yam Seng" to the lucky couple. - During the New Balance KPAC Half-Marathon on 7 June 2009, Captain Steven gave his half-marathon medal to Lavin as a reward promised to her for finshing the 10km race as a phanthom runner.
Today, Lavin so graciously extended her appreciation to our captain with her own medal achieved today. They are truly passionate runners with big hearts.
