Jarang kita dengar...

IPOH, May 16 (Bernama) -- Defending champion India and South Korea were declared joint winners of the 19th Sultan Azlan Shah Cup Championship after the final was called off due to heavy downpour.

I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought.

Report: Jogathon Warisan (Larian Kubur)

By Aiman Cheah

Date: 25 April 2010
Venue: Kwang Tong Cemertary, Kuala Lumpur
Distance: 11km
Category: Men OPen

This is the first competitive back to back event for me. The previous week being the Shoestring Run. Slightly better prepared. I manged to put in 18km run for the week; 4km on Tuesday, 8km on Thursday and 6km on Friday.

I turned up quite late at the venue - ten minutes to seven. I did not expect the run to be early as last year it started at around 8. Last year I was in the junior category.

Men open would be much tougher. My stamina was still lacking as I had to stop to catch my breath during the race. It was a good work out since the route was hilly. Finishing the race in 58:26 was good. However, I was quite disappointed to have missed the 30th position. 34th was not too bad. Perhaps, if I had started further in front, that might made a difference. I was held up for quite some time after the flag off.
