Wrap Up: 2012 Running

Same as last year, completed 11 races, 9 half marathons and two 25km Newton Run. Both 25km Newton Run as Opening and Closing race of 2012.

 

Among the nine half marathons, did 3 at Singapore.

Started 2012 running with Newton New Year Challenge, been photographer after suffering from 25km rolling hills, but end up with forget to have a group photo with my gang.

Due to oversea business trip, I've skip few race in March.

First 21km of the year was Sundown Marathon, and also can consider the earliest flag off race I ever join. Ran the whole race in sleepy feel.

First half marathon in Malaysia, Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012, first time drove from South to KL for this event, instead of from North to KL as previous years.
