Start From Here - My 2nd Half-Marathon

Woke up at 4 a.m. this morning to run my second half-marathon at the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2011. The sky was still dark during the first 10km, with occasional drizzle.

Weather started getting better after crossing the Western Harbor Tunnel, encouraged me to run faster and break my own record. Continuously finding targets to chase over and keep my pace at around 5 minutes per kilometer. That yielded me a 1:48:04 timeoff when crossing the finishing line, a 13-minute jump from my November result.

A round of applause to every runner today.

My next stop - full marathon at Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, on May 1. More running sharings to come.
