I was out with a bunch of friends whom almost all I met for the first time. Just so happening one of them, L was running for tomorrow Flora London marathon. And I related to him now I was planning to run the New York end of the year and it is also an effort to raise fund for the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary. He was totally gig for it!! He's from Sandakan that's why! That's as close as home can be for him. Guess he was amazing for the fact I am affliated with something so close to home.
But I did express my sceptism about raising the entire amount: volunteering fees and the trip to New York. He quickly replied, I can always include the cost of the trip to the amount needed to be raised. He doesn't mind doing the New York marathon with me and raise the fund needed!! He has all the corporate network that are willing to throw in $$! I was OVERJOYED. I just announced to everyone (mind me I just met them for like a couple of hours) L is my next BEST Friend. It is like a dream come true! Run in New York with a buddy and raise enough fund for Sepilok!!
Hahaha... that mean I won't really have to set up booth at Covent Garden, holding a banner saying 'Save the Orang Utan!' and wait hopefully for people to donate. Come to think about it, it might just be fun ya!
I will keep up with the progress on this. Let's hope that he is still keen on it. Do come back and find out ya!

Choice of marathon
Ok I am not changing my date for Sepilok, coz it costs me £50 to change dates. Hell no!!
And I am gonnna run in one of the European marathon to raise fund. No point sequeeze my ass off to go to NYC to run and be a pauper for the next two years!! Europe is a whole lot cheaper to travel (if I book early, I can travel for like £0.50!! Can you believe that??) Anyway, my end point is to raise fund right?
With this change in plan, I will have more time to train and raise fund.
More update on the running in a few weeks time. I am settling well with work schedule and personal life, but need to get into a routine now. I should be able to start my mileage build-up training again soon.
