宋卡，我來啦！ Songkhla,here I come !

今晚十時三十分就會與另外六名友人從富都車站搭巴士北上合艾，以參加週日舉行的第七屆宋卡馬拉松，感覺很有點興奮，但是不是初次參賽的興奮程度。

這一次將是我第三次參加宋卡馬拉松，與我同行的友人有Eric Teo couple,Yee Chai,Mahendran (from TTDI),Penguin 2 Tan Khee Meng and PM23 Jason Lim，相信會在週日碰上更多的跑友。

清昌與他的弟弟一行人已在昨晚出發，他們是去合艾旅行和鬆弛身心，而且合艾的傳統按摩确實便宜，二小時大約只需馬幣二十五令吉，對跑完馬拉松的跑友，將是物超所值。

在2002年和2003年宋卡馬拉松，兩次比賽都是超過五小時，主要是天氣熱及缺少準備，而這一次，吸取馬六甲馬拉松的教訓，在最後一週減少訓練量，不過心底頭依然有點擔心。因此只要跑出少於五小時，就感覺滿足啦，若是能四小時三十分，一切都有待那裡的熱天氣。

回去老家拉美士只有一次長跑，而且也因凌晨三點四十分到家，然後再捧世羽賽男單半決賽李宗偉對道菲的比賽，看完已是清晨六時啦，七點十五分跑二十二公里，在回程的火車很睏，斷斷續續睡。

回來吉隆坡，週一再跑十公里， 接著跑數次五公里，以作為鬆弛肌肉，讓肌肉有足夠的時間恢復。

相信今次會在宋卡見到不少熟口熟臉的大馬跑友，包括David Lee 父子，能夠在國外比賽見到來自國內的跑友，將會令人感到很親切和興奮，不會有落單的感覺，對自己也是一種激勵。

今次在宋卡不會刻意去追求成績，特別是認真一次全馬的比賽，就得需要準備三個月，而昨晚與一人的勸告後，頓時心中開悟不少，感恩！所以也抱著享受比賽的心態去宋卡啦！

過去兩次參賽，所帶去的朋友都會勝過我，那就由它吧，而且我會帶著數碼相機盡情拍照，回來可與朋友好好分享！

多謝不少友人的鼓勵和祝福，宋卡，我來啦！

我將會在週日於合艾上隊長的網站，屆時大家就可提早知道咱們在宋卡馬拉松的成績啦！祝大家有個美好的週末和享受在沙登的比賽！

Tonight will leaving Kuala Lumpur heading to Hatyai,take 10.30pm supercoach,others 6 peoples will follow me,including Eric Teo couple,Yee Chai,Mahendran (from TTDI),Penguin 2 Tan Khee Meng and PM23 Jason Lim.

My other gang like C.C.Hoo and his brother already left last night with their SINGER salesman,they went to Hatyai for travel and relax.

One of my climbathon friend Gavin Mah sms me last night said thanks for his photo which I toke long time ago,is through by PM1 handover to him.He will heading for Songkhla marathon.So..I am expect a lot of regular runners from PACM will join this marathon which enter 7th edition already.

After 2002 and 2003..all of my result in this Songkhla marathon exceed 5 hours,it was because of the heat and also less preparation.This time,due to Malacca marathon experience ,no dare to train over...just prepare for normal pace in Songkhla,aim to run sub 5hours will be enough.Is it too slow for me ?
emmm....may be 4:30...but it all depend lah the hot weathere there....!!

I should meet David Lee and his son Barry also there,cause I received David he said will run this year Songkhla,so....should meet a lof runners from Malaysia ,will be a good motivation,atleast not so boring like in oversea race.....!

Countdown to my final week preparation,I just did sunday LSD at my Kampung Labis ,Johor,about 22km...less than 2 hours,but is hilly route,it should be good workout for me,but due to less sleep after toke night train and also see world badminton champhionship semifinal between Lee Chong Wei and Taufik...aiya...until 6am went on bed and ran at 7.15am..it was jia lat...especially on train return to KL,so sleepy....!!

I manage to do a recovery run on monday and also wednesday and thursday ran each 5km ,for relax my muscle..didn't went TTDI ,cause worry over push to my leg muslce.

This year I will run relax,cause if aiming for timing,it need few months to prepare for it,especially after last nite listen advice from someone...so...release my pressure liao...!

For the past experience,which I bring my gang toke part,but all lost to them..this time....hahaha...I will bring my Digital Camera and run...but no bring water botlle,cause my weight now is lighter,so..it will be pressure on my performance.

Will update our results after back to Hatyai sunday afternoon....will leave message at pm1 site...!!
