heh heh..i know most people are shocked that i actually signed up for the marathon..but seriously, the only reason why i did it is because it's free..hahaha! anyhow, i wanted ver much to train for it...but somehow, i didnt managed to...haha! but i think i did a pretty good job!
basically, i managed to wake up around 6 on a SUNDAY morning..made my brother fetch me there...reached at 7am...got lost while trying to find my friends and bag deposit center...was late for my woman's 10km run...started running and wheezing through the girls...pretty excited...
actually frankly speaking..it was quite fun...it was quite an experience running along shenton way...looking at the buildings and running on concrete road..my first time..and the roads are clear but the traffic lights are still working...and i have the tendency to stop when i see the red light...hahaha..quite silly ya? however, i dont like the part where we have to run to marina south..it's all trees and it's pretty hard to run because it seemed never-ending...so for the first 5km..i was telling myself... I MUST REACH THE U-TURN! haha! and when i see the u-turn..i was sooooooo happy....then for the next 5km..i kept telling myself.... I MUST SEE CBD AGAIN! haha! seriously, i think i can motivate myself pretty well...
actually, i intended to only run 5km and walk the other 5km..but somehow, i refused to give up...basically i think quite embarassing to walk to the finishing line when everyone can see..hahaha! and guess what? i finished my 10km in 1h:11m:15s..seriously, i'm quite proud of myself...if you ask me..in fact...i came in 315th in my category, about 26% of finishers ahead..not bad right? so in return for my effort, they gave me a medal..which is now sitting on my desk..as i still have no idea where to hang my medal of glory! haha!
