Don't think too much. Do it and you will find ways. Thats what I did. With just a few clicks, I have registered myself for the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 on 28 June 2009. And when was the last time I ran a competition?? It was May 2008. And in late Dec 2008, I started running to get the momentum going but alas...it was interrupted by my involvement in company project that required me to based in Trier, Germany since Jan 2009. 
With Imperial Baths as background
So, after paying (only) RM50 (early bird rate) as registration fee, I put on my running gear and went for a leisure jog along River Mosel. At this moment, I just need to have my feet getting used to running. It was not that simple though coz I have not been running on regular basis. The weather in Trier at 7degree was slightly better than 1degree when I first arrived. In fact, I bought the cold season running gear in January because I wanted to experience running under cold condition. Lack of oxygen and avoiding running nose was the most difficult task. 
Getting ready to run along River Mosel
Speaking of task, its not going to be an easy task to train for a marathon in 3 months time. The attraction of running in the first ever home marathon organised by the banking group was too good to resist. Memories of SCB Singapore Marathon 2007 is still in me. Besides, RM50 paid is nothing compare to the rate for Berlin, Paris or Rotterdam Marathon. I will take it easy. In a way, I am glad I signed up. This is the only way to get my foot into my Mizuno shoes and hit the road once again...
