I have mentioned before that I will only run two full marathons a year. So far I have only registered for two, ie The Island Ocean Marathon, Langkawi in April 2013 and the Penang Bridge Marathon in November 2013 which will be running on the new bridge. I have resisted the River Jungle Marathon which is offered as a combo series with the Island Ocean Marathon and of course, the KL International Marathon as it is just one week after the Penang Run 2013-2014 2nd series. So I thought my running timetable for 2013 has been set. Two full, 3 half and one 17K. Keep me fit for the whole of 2013. Although many of my friends do at least 4/5 marathons in a year or more.

| Borneo International Marathon. |
But because of the election on 5 May 2013, the Borneo International Marathon in Sabah was changed to 4 May 2013 and then was just postponed to another date. Then they reopened the registration again probably some participants have to drop out since the date has been changed. It was finally postponed to 25 August 2013. Why do they have to reopen the registration ? And the timing is just perfect. In addition, I have wanted to visit Kota Kinabalu this year or next year. The flight fare to Kota Kinabalu is less than RM200 for to and fro. So I will get to go on a holiday and run a marathon. What a perfect excuse !
The stars are all aligned for this marathon. So quickly go online and register but it is the full registration fee, RM130. This will be more of fun marathon rather than a PB (personal best) type of run. I was telling my friends, all my races seems to be more for fun. And this marathon, a lot of "Penang lang"(Penangites) will be there. Andrew has promised to take us for cheap seafood. And I heard it is a flat course as compared to hilly terrain in Langkawi. So 3 full marathons this year, one in April, August and November. Definitely not another full marathon for this year !
