Today is Christmas. Nevertheless, we still go to Bukit Aman for a 20km run this morning in preparation for the coming Kuala Lumpur International Marathon on 3 March 2006. Before that, we were busy with Singapore International Marathon on 4 December, and that was over.

It was most unusual to have a Santa Claus doing a 20km run this morning with us. What costume would you expect Santa Claus to wear – heavily dressed-up costume with big belly? That would be difficult to walk 20 meters let alone running for 20 kilometers. Yes, to grace the occasion, we have JOHN TAN, The Santa Claus. Since it was a 20km distance, he was donning running apparels attire.
. . There were not many runners this morning. I presumed they must be taking a holiday break for the Christmas celebration. The morning air was cool and fresh after a downpour yesterday evening. It was perfect for a long distance training run.
. .Our Santa Claus was seen distributing sweets along the course. At Selangor Property area, one Philippine maid who was waiting for taxi was most impressed to receive a sweet from our Santa Claus. Further down the course, two Bangladeshi workers were given our Santa Claus extended admiration. Not many people have the luck to watch Santa Claus in running action.
.
Near the Bank Negara LRT area, I was running fast and competing with Santa Claus. He eventually outran me. Well, he is most qualified to assume the assignment for long-haul running Santa Claus in Christmas.
