Today’s Run: 17KM

Timing: 1hr 48mins

Venue: Bishan Park

I’m so proud of my new achievement. It was a great hike from my previous record of 14KM, and also considering the presence of the blisters from yesterday’s 11KM run at the track in school. It must have been the outrage of endorphin produced during the run that kept me going.

Generally, the first 14KM was rather alright, with a good pace of 10km/h. The last 3km was the most arduous� part of the journey, it was really a battle of determination. Devil Daryl was psyching me to stop and rest, while on the other hand Angel Daryl was pushing me on, not to give up.

Obviously Devil Daryl succumbed under the powerful Angel to make me push on that last 3KM. Actually, it was a pacer that made my last 2KM a great one. He was more or less about to overtake me already, when i pushed myself to pace up with him all the way to the finishing point.

While running at the park, its quite obvious that someone is trying to pace up with you or vice versa. There are only 2 outcomes out of it. One would be that he thins you are trying to compete, and do all means to outrun him. The other would be to pace. In order for the latter to happen, it would be best that a conversation is being strike.

Mere words of encouragements are more than enough, normally people don’t talk much during runs considering the already lack of breath. Surprisingly the last sentence he asked me was..

“So you running for the Standard Chartered Marathon?”

Obviously yes was my reply and there he went ahead with his run. For extensive runners, Stand Chart Marathon could probably be one of the greatest event of the year for them. It’s rather obvious that people (in the nice SC singlet) are getting intensive on their trainings recently, with the fact that its only 50plus days left for the event.

Alright, my entries are getting mundane and boring with run , run and more run. Shall share something that I’ve read next time. Time to get Angel Daryl to put me on work.

Till then,

Work!
