[Budget] Sports Armband

I believe most of the people cannot leave their mobile phone behind, not even a second. With the advancement of the technology and communication, mobile phone has become an integral part of our daily routine.

For most runners, it is an essential gadget to bring along for jogging or running session. Some of them use tracking app to trace the distance and timing of their run. Some runners listen to the music from their mobile phone for running.

For running event, it will be hassle to carry your phone on your hand while running. Putting in the pocket will make it uncomfortable to run and adding burden to the runner.

The perfect solution is to get a Sports Armband. Not necessary an expensive one. You can get a cheap one.

Official results for Malaysia Breakfast Day Run 2014 available HERE

Malaysia Breakfast Day Run was successfully held on 20th April 2014 at Perbadanan Putrajaya. The crowd of 20,000 people have participate in this AWESOME event. Check out the official video HERE.

The organiser did a really good job in choosing Putrajaya as the race venue to accommodate the large crowd. The crowd is nearly double (or triple) compared to last year run which was held in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

I arrived early for the event as I knew the large crowd will be packing the place and getting a car park will be a tough one. Before I even near the venue, I already seen lot of cars parking on the roadsides (within my expecation).

The only thing that I was not expecting is way beyond the starting time, a large pool of runners already standing by before the starting line. I can't even see the end of the queue from the starting point.
