Yesterday (Thursday, 1 December 2016), on the urging of my good friend, I ran my first ‘run’. This is part of the Run for Fund program which is helping the Islamic School in UTM find funds. It is a 5km run, at night, with the track covering Kolej 9, circling the roundabout adjacent the Raja Zarith Sofiah Library, all through the back gates near the Senai highway and back.
I have never participated in any programs such as this, but I was glad I did. My goal was to experience it and finish. Finish I did.
I walked the 5 km. Funnily enough this one kid who was running, and was on his way back to the start when I was about just near the halfway mark.
Upon finishing, I was exhilarated and thankful that everything went well. I was worried about this, as I am not the most athletic. I wish I could try another program like this. Who knows, I just might be a regular!
We are finishers!
