i and frank want to go la, go by bus loo, i check sri malaysia can get rm130.

I think should be around RM100 to RM130 per person for the run, accomodation and tranportation. As for others like entertainment, shopping, etc... (if got time lar), that I don't know.

The cheapest hotel I found is RM100 at Hotel Malaysia.

i'll be at penang on 23rd and balik to KL on 25th.

lai lai we sama sama go makan makan jalan jalan.

what time u'll be going on 23rd? im working on that day, me and frank planning to go during nite time..with bus..

We are leaving on Friday (22 June 2007) night by bus and will be coming back on Sunday (24 June 2007) noon by bus. Just get a cheapo watch with a stopwatch. That will do as you need it to just clock your time.

Already inform andy on our plans. Will inform him on my contact once we settle our accomodation and transportation issue.

i'll be going up on sat morning.

Is this your first time participating in a running event? If no, what's your time for 10KM, 15KM, etc... You mentioned you need guidance in the Penang marathon thread. What guidance you need? Just go ahead and ask. Each of us will try to help out.

i never reach 10km b4 on regular basis , the most i did was about only 5km every 3 days per week about 30+min, only did 14km b4 for my company run....and that was like 2 years ago, crappy performance not worth mentioning the time.....lil girl also can go faster than me.

just need to know how to prepare for the long endurance. ohh yeah i should be getting new running shoes any recommendation for <250 budget?. my old cheap bata shoes seriously felt very heavy and painful for long runs.

Good luck mate. It's going to take more than stamina to finish this half marathon for you. You will is very important.

HUH? You are going to get a new pair of shoes for the Penang Marathon? Less than a month more to go. Do you think your foot can adapt to the new shoes? Runners always wear shoes that are at least 2 months old so that their foot can adapt to it. If not, the foot will be painful and blister will occur. If you are asking me to recommend, I will go for New Balance 767. Retail price is RM289 but if you are a Pacesetter member, you will get 30% discount. This is the cost-reasonable shoe I found.

Anyway, please continue this thread to here. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=464883 A new marathon thread has been created under Health & Fitness.
