The run today was fine and weather was cooling in the mornng. Started early at 5 something in the morning. Split time at Petronas: approximately 60 minutes + (before running the extra lap at Petronas). Split time at the next 20 km: 2 hr 2 min + (after completing the extra lap at Petronas). Completed the run in 3 hr 00 min 56.75 sec. This was the best day and timing since it was a special day for me. I was confident that I could improve my timing further (depending on how fast I want to run).

After the run, I felt much better as compared with last week (giddy). Overall, I ran in quite a consistent pace without any pressure and with the help of music from my Digital MP3 player.

Thanks to the runners for the company in the 30 km long run: Tey (pm22), Tan Khee Meng (p2), Jamie (pm5), Chong Wah, Phyllis, C C Hoo and Hoo Ching Tai.
