11月22日-槟威大桥国际马拉松赛

28年来都没有参加过任何一项长跑项目，什么marathon,，Jogathon，walkathon，还有什么thon的，都没有在我生命中出现过。但自我今年6月参加吉隆坡马拉松赛（KL-Marathon）以来，不知道是什么原因，就爱上长跑项目。今年9月抄，也参加Addidas King of The Road 11公里赛程。

得知槟城主办国际性马拉松赛，就迫不及待和友人报名今年槟威大桥国际马拉松赛（PBIM-Penang Bridge Internation Marathon）。赛程共分为全马拉松赛（42公里）、半马拉松赛（21公里）、四分之一马拉松赛（10公里）及欢乐跑（10公里）。我这种业余的，当然是报跑10公里的欢乐跑啦。

由于槟威大桥从凌晨2时至上午10时关闭8个小时，因此如果要过槟岛，我们就得要赶在2时前越过槟威大桥。就冲着一年中惟一一次可以从容跨越大桥的机会，唯一不开放给车辆使用的难得时刻，我舍弃睡眠时间，11月21日星期六晚上九时，友人驾着1.5的威拉以每公里170时速从巴生Star Cruise港口直奔槟城皇后湾广场（Queenbay Mall）。天啊！我都看不下去了，车子在大道上快速穿梭，好可怕噢。我都没眼看，我惟有大被盖过头会周公。天公保佑，3小时后，安全抵达会场。

10公里欢乐跑地于7时30分开跑

今年反映非常的热烈，共一万9千人报名参加。人多到。。。尤其是欢乐跑的项目，只要从上面扎一粒石头，都铁定扎到人，有够夸张的。

讲明欢乐跑，当然是心情轻松自在啦

很明显，Digi是赞助商之一

早上的双威大桥，景色迷人。徐徐的海风吹来，倦意全消

途中，人群开始跑散，但要跨越人群，还是的费一般功夫
