Standard Chartered Marathon 2011!
Ran half marathon (21km) with bestfriend last Sunday!
Whoa, it was a really good experience and eye opener. I jogged continuously for the first 17km! Didn't know I could do that. So proud of myself. It's all about testing and pushing your limits! Well, for the remaining 4km I walked and ran here and there, and towards the finish line in 3 hours. 3 hours is a long time but considering all of us didn't train at all for the marathon, not bad I would say hahaha. I saw many people from different walks of life at the marathon! Young and old. Seeing the old being so fit, jogging consistently, pushing themselves to finish the race is truly inspiring. Some of the old couples ran together and some held hands as they walked along the route. It was a beautiful sight. It is always nice to see old couples still being so lovey dovey even at old age.
Well the most interesting part of the run was the run through USS! Other than that it was kinda of boring. Thoughts like: "Where is the finishing lineeeee, when is this is going to end, where is the water point?!..." kept running through my mind throughout those boring routes like the expressway. Haha. Well, Zhan Shuo reached the finishing point a few minutes before me, then Yanru and Yi Feng came about 3 mins later! After the run, I could feel the aching of my body muscles setting in already. Now my body is still in pain and I am walking like an old lady especially up and down stairs. Haha. I'd better train for marathons in future. No joke :/
Now I'm considering whether I should do Sundown Marathon in May 2012!
