The Borneo International Marathon 2009

I created this blog to record my experiences in the 50 days count down to the Borneo International Marathon 2009 on 11 October. I have registered myself for the men's 10km category. This blog wasn't designed for general readability, but as a record of what I have done to compete in the 10km run.

My objectives in the BIM09 run is simple: finish the run in 45 mins.

Being a newbie in distance running, but somewhat knowledgeable about sports training, I thought I could figure out a fun way to practise for this run, not put myself through too much torture, and yet achieve above average results.
