Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Bulan Ramadhan sudah tiba di penghujungnya. Perjuangan berpuasa berlangsung selama 30 hari. Puasa yang ditempuh itu bukan sahaja sekadar tidak makan dan tidak minum, malah lebih daripada itu kepada seluruh pancaindera yang ada termasuk hati.

Esok adalah Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Aku masih disini, iaitu diperantauan, sekitar 400km dari kampungku. Jika aku mahu pulang ke kampung dengan maraton, beerti aku kena lari 20 kali maraton, baru sampai!

Aku akan balik kampung pada malam ini atau awal pagi esok, bukan dengan berlari tapi berkenderaan.

Tadi terdengar suara syahdu takbir dan tahmid hari raya. Fuuiiyooh..memang syahdu.

Di kesempatan yang ada ini aku mengambil peluang untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri..Mohon maaf jika ada kesilapan dan kelemahan.

Kisah Pelari Eropah

LONDON - Standup comedian Eddie Izzard completed a 1,100 mile (1,770 kilometer) run across Britain on Tuesday, staggering across the finish line at London's rain-soaked Trafalgar Square.

The cross-dressing comic, better known for running through his routines in drag than running marathons, said he managed the feat of endurance with only five weeks' training.
"I ... feel ... exhausted," Izzard said, raising his hands in the air in front of assembled journalists.
Izzard covered the country in seven weeks, clocking up at least 27 miles (43 kilometers) nearly every day to raise money for Sport Relief, a U.K. charity which works in Britain and abroad.

The 47-year-old entertainer, known to U.S. audiences for his roles in FX's "The Riches" and Tom Cruise's World War II drama "Valkyrie," said the run had wrecked his feet.
"The small toes have lost their nails and they look like alien monsters but I'm told they will grow back," he said, adding that while everyone kept complementing him about the shape of his legs, "I thought they looked quite good beforehand."

Sport Relief spokeswoman Jeni Ayling said a BBC crew was accompanying him in a rickshaw the whole way, filming him as he ran. Also following him were his manager, a sports therapist, and an ice cream van which periodically played the theme song to "Chariots Of Fire."
The double Emmy award-winner's run took him across Britain, from London to Liverpool, Northern Ireland, Scotland and down back to the capital, according to the BBC. The broadcaster said Izzard effectively ran 43 marathons.

It added that some of Izzard's runs had taken him as many as 10 hours to complete, although his last one was took just over five.
Izzard said told the broadcaster last month that "you have to be a little bit crazy" to tackle a challenge of this kind.
"But doing standup comedy is a little crazy," he said.
