hello world.

i completed a full marathon few hours ago.

i know its nothing la, but hell am i proud of myself even though i didn't run the whole 42.195km. the run was horrbile, torturous and super demanding.

at a point of time, i felt like i was a sadist puting myself through something which i've never done before. hurhur. i swear i'm not ever going to run a FULL marathon ever ever again. really. its just too, much. i couldn't even walk properly after the whole damn run.

we started off at esplanade, then all the way into marina south and out and back to esplanade and on the whole stretch of ecp to and fro and back to padang. like i don't ever want to go thru it again.

at the beginning was still ok, i did about 12km plus with much ease but after that, it was like walk run walk run until a point i couldn't even run at all. from my back to my groin to my knee and down to my troublesome ankle, i expereienced all the kinds of pain and strains i never really had before.

and best, nice watery blisters at my toe awaiting to be burst soon. heh.

saw so many of my friends la. cool. like suddenly u hear a, jiayou qianyi. turn around and see some familiar face. haha. i love surprises. nice nice.

but it was so demoralising because i wasn't even close to the middle pack i think. started off quite late because some don't know who took quite some time to get ready and we didn't even had enough time for a good warm-up.

but then again, i feel really bad for slowing gm down la. thanks hor, here's what you asked for in return. your, '1000words tribute'. nah. here you go. [ 1000 words tribute ] ok not funny.

after that met geoks around the 34km mark i think, and i joined her to complete the remaining distance. we both were like cursing and swearing la. damn funny. counting down to the amount of distance left and decided to run in at the 100m mark.

i tell you, walking wasn't a easy thing to do k. the knees and calfs completely nua-ed. every step you take is just so not easy. like omg, i never felt this way before la. but thank god for those crazy odac trainings i had in cj, i managed to complete it. because afterall, i've walked so much, ran so much, done so much, climbed so much. what is 42km. right. hurhur.

felt like giving up but then its like, come on lor, you've already ran 20km, just half down only. then when you reach the 30km mark, hey you've already ran so much just 10km more only and you've done it before. and thats what kept me going and going and going, till the finish line.

i'm just so proud of myself for finishing it. that has got to be my best 7hrs this year. somehow, it just sums up my 2005 year. all the mixed emotions that went thru within me, all the friends that i saw and all the talking to myself. rahh. good race. but won't do it again. maybe not anytime soon. haha.

next year, half-marathon.

i over estimated myself like totally. my first ever marathon and its a full one. i'm still quite amazed at how i managed to complete it.

horrible.

i shall go stretch properly and get a well deserved rest.

well done girl. haha. ok, i'm praising myself.

cannot ah? hard work k.
