A Sudden Bereavement So Felt By The Running Communities

Forever Young
by Renee 'nay' Kristen Kristen

Trapped in the glorious years
within the memory of belief, lost of all grief.
Take the reasons,
which once seemed so clear,
but never mind, you have nothing to fear.
For you my friend will be, forever young,
Forever in the heart of memories.

Lost in the glory of all time,
the wisdom was there within that smile,
You see you could have told us,
there within lies the mystery.

So shed a smile, and grin a tear,
For you my friend, will be,
Forever young, Forever young.
Forever in the heart of memory,
We see not through or misery.
Forever young, forever young.
There's a new angel tonight.

This poem is a special dedication for Gary Leon Robert who was so suddenly taken away from us yesterday after completing his run at the Shah Alam King Of The Road half-marathon. It's sad that he had been alone when he left us but he will no more be alone for he is now placed among the angels in heaven.

Our deepest condolence to his beloved family and friends. May he find eternal peace in the Kingdom of God.

Shah Alam King Of The Road 2009

Shah Alam King Of The Road 2009, the much awaited half-marathon is finally here. Everybody was looking forward to an exciting run this morning, what with the anticipated undulating route that's going to be of great challenge to all the runners of Kota Kemuning Pacers, veterans or the noobs.

We had quite a surprise the evening before when Cheryl informed that there'll be a few school-boys from Ipoh who will be joining us at the race. Wow! It's such an honour that one of our neighbours,Sandy had chosen to seek our assistance to lead the out-of-towners. In fact, she also joined the 6km run at the very last minute, albeit using a J category bib (Senior Boys). Today, we also had more noobs for the race, young and old and school kids.

At the run, some did fantastically well while some slacked and others maintain their performances. A very warm congratulations goes out to Lavin for finishing at the 10th position. The latest good news was she had been moved up a notch to the 9th position since the runner in the 3rd position had been disqualified! A pat on the back for Riq too for his efforts in pacing Lavin towards this goal (not forgetting the 20 odd kicks in the butt he claimed Lavin had given him ... hahaha!!!). Anyhow, well done on the teamwork.

Many many congratulations also goes out to Keiko, Shaunie and Marcus for achieving their very first running medal today. As for the noobs like Keith, Jia Mei, Jesslyn and Ai Ling, well done for completing the race in your respective categories.

Beneath all these, however, there was one big regret. CAMERA-FAILURE!!! Man, what a terrible time for the camera to boycott our camerawoman. T'was confirmed as a manufacturer failure for the Nikon D5000 cameras. Guess the camera will be going into intensive care soon. By the way, the camerawoman would like to express her gratitude to our very young Shan (9-years-old only) for keeping watch on her today ... her very own BODYGUARD wor!

Whatever photos that had been taken before the power failure, check it out here.
And to see the achievement of our runners, please click here.

Regretfully, a rather disturbing news was received just about an hour ago. A runner in the Men Open Half-Marathon (22km) category had gone MISSING! No one knows his whereabout. As at this moment, the search is still on and his parents had already filed a missing person report with the police. We pray that he is in good care and that there's a good explanation to the anxieties caused.

Everyone and anyone, if you have any information or knowledge on the whereabout of this runner, please contact the person and mobile as posted in this blog. Any assistance will be well appreciated.
