Its quiet at six in the morning.
And soon enough you hear it
*thump thump thump thump*
The sound of your heartbeat, pounding against your chest. The sound of thousands of feet stomping the grounds
The sound of horns blast through the streets
A group of Chinese men next to me start yelling out "ROTI ROTI" a call to the men who sell bread every day - honking their hellos
The rumble of newspaper bikes as they go around, delivering the morning news.
I wave hello as I run by.
Down old KL - past the beautiful old train station
Down little India; Brickfields - with its 24 hours mamaks open for business. Three Indian men outside yelling out hellos
Down the highway leading on the road I used to take back to my hometown
Down Maluri and past the stadium I used to compete in
Up through KL breathing into the new city - the twin towers twinkling in the morning
And back through Independence square to cross the finishing line
My first 21km
Experience - amazing
Repeat it? Well, lets see =P
