Good Morning! It is now 10.00 am on a Sunday (24th June 2012) and I just returned from the KL Marathon 2012. No, I did not run. I was there to take some photographs of the participants. It was like a fun run. Tired but happy. I moved around the route and chatted with the organisers and a few runners. One of the runners asked me whether I am with one of the sports news reporting agency! Most of them were sporting enough to pose for the camera and joked about me taking photographs of them.

There were quite a number of characters in the Marathon. There was a Japanese runner who carried a tuba weighing 12kg (according to him) throughout the whole marathon! What a guy! However, he had a motive, though. He was advertising his services and there was another guy running next to him who was spreading the word of God. An amazing group of wonderful runners!

Kudos have to go to the hardworking volunteers who guided the runners and handing out drinks and sponges at the water station. A few of them even shouted words of encouragement and cheering them on. A wonderful sight to make up a wonderful Sunday!
