Completed one of my resolutions for this year when i completed 21km at last sunday's Singapore Bay Run/Army Half Marathon 2009... My watch read 2hr 59mins when i reached the end point and so minus the 10 mins or so we spend waiting to go to the toilet, i took around 2hr 49mins to finish the race... Not exactly a very good timing as i had hope to complete in less than 2hr 45 mins... Well, it was a good effort though seeing that its my first long distance race in a long long time... Have to continue training as i have signed up for Standard Chartered 42km at the end of the year... Seriously, im still wondering why the hell i signed up for it!!! But its something that i always want to do once in my life so yep, gonna train like hell for it(hopefully)...
Thank god i took yesterday and today off as im really feeling the effects of the run... Not so much in my legs though... There is the ache in my calf and hamstring but the more serious ache seems to be at my shoulder area and back... Definitely signs that my conditioning wasn't really ready for such a race which is why im feeling the after effects now... I wonder how my body will feel after 42km at the end of the year???
Its a very funny thing really... I signed up for all these marathons at the urging of my platoon mates from 160... And when i tell people that im running all these races, all of them will be like - "wa kao, in army always chao keng don't want to run. now ord liao go run marathon. wtf!" Quite true though... Haha... But its different really... In army, you will get sick and tired of running coz thats what you do most of the time and you cant really run at your own pace as well... Outside, you won't have someone bellowing at you to run faster and to keep up with those fast people... And best of all, you don't have to sing!!! God, i used to hate singing when running when i was in the army... Singing while marching is still ok... But running??? Im already out of breath and i still have to sing or im gonna hear cries of "knock it down" very soon... So you see, its different!!!
Im dreading going back to work tomorrow... My guess is that my mailbox is gonna be flooded with mail for rsvp for a project that im doing right now... I just hoped that intern did not screw up whatever i asked her to do...
