Level 42

Approximately 45 hours to go before the much awaited Energizer Night Race 2010. And I am standing in between hope and dream. My runs were never near to the same preparation as SCKLM. I started having weird dreams last night. Aiyah! Perhaps I didn't wash my feet before bed la kot. As of this morning, right now, massive spread of thunderstorm clouds i.e. Nimbostratus (Ns) and Cumulonimbus (Cb) hovering over most part of Klang Valley especially here in Ampang. I was fortunate to reach the office before chaos strikes. Browsing through Met's website, this is what I got:

Saturday, 27/03/2010
Morning : No rain
Afternoon : Rain
Night : No rain
Minimum : 24 °C
Maximum : 34 °C

Managed to squeeze myself between tight schedule for race kit pickup at Melia Hotel yesterday lunch time. Successfully securing myself with M size vest as opposed by many others who were complaining they are wearing dresses instead of a running vest. Had lunch with Shuk and Det. A quick enquiry with En. Rustam and En. Suhaimi of fellow Pacesetters about solat facilities. Details from the chit chat as follows:

Prayer tent location : KM16 (for full mara). Bottled water for ablution available. Sejadah and sarong also provided. This is so kind. May the gratitude be rewarded.

I have yet to prepare my race attire. My Tempo was snuggly left in a box for three weeks - which reminds me I have to run in it this evening. Rain or shine - chewah! Carboloading is more like "cacar merba" loading. I didn't even keep track of my hydration rate. And the only thing that is holding me together right now are words of wisdom picked by wifey this morning before leaving home "Sesungguhnya Aku adalah apa yang hambaku sangkakan". What I think best, Allah will give me best. Nowadays people call it the Law of Attraction - I think so.
