2nd December, the day many runners are awaiting for. The biggest event of the year, Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon.

I’m proud that i managed to finish the run, though the timing was scary. But nonetheless, I FINISHED IT. I thought i almost died in the course of it.

So much for not training hard enough for it. I only took my training up to 21km, and had not really run since alevels started and holidays was too exciting and busy for me to run.

One of the stupidest thing i did which i regretted deeply was to tie my shoelace too tightly. This resulted in the blisters appearance at the 10km mark, and i had to bear with the pain for another 15km until i finally took the marathon in the form of a walkathon.

Now that my whole lower body, the thighs especially, is in great sore now, also on my shoulder. My mobility level is almost zero. So if you are asking me out these few days, do expect a disabled person by your side.

But at least.. I finished my first marathon, i got my finisher’s medal and tee shirt.  The joy and triumph when crossing the finishing line, which makes all the effort and pain and sweat worthwhile.

The next time i join, i swear i would train hard for it. If not i shall downgrade myself to a easier course. Hah!
