I did it! I'm a 10km running legend...haha! :þ
hellos...those who do read my blog... leave some comments, will ya? let me know that there are people out thr who bothers reading my blogs...haha...
anywayz..i did my run of 10km finally today...!!! 5th Dec 2004! A day i will definitely rem...first time i ran a part of a marathon....finished it standing...and actually managed an O-K timing...! Was actually quite fun running...together wif so many people...it's v motivating... and oso cuz thr r so many people...thr are a lot of people to overtake... if i were to speak the truth...the thrill in running long distance is really to overtake people...u get a HIGH from that....i know i am being v brutally honest here...and those who kenna overtaken this morning will wanna kick me!!! but then...i tink i'm speaking the truth here..cuz i know of at least one more person wif the same sentiments... it's satisfying to overtake people when running....but can feel quite shitty when u get overtaken...haha...
ok...here's the lowdown on the full days' event... haha... not really v happeningz...but woke up at 5am!! gdness...tt kind of hr...and i actually slpt ard 1am...ok... but i felt quite awake at 5am though... guess i was real excited... took cab down to amelia's plc so we cld go down to esplanade together... was still dark at tt time man!! ok...so we went down to city hall mrt stn to meet up wif her colleagues ard 6.30am... thr are oredi quite a lot of people wandering ard the area... s'poreans can be early birds if they choose to, i guess..haha... when we reached esplanade area, ard 645...the full marathon people have oredi started abt 45 mins ago...and i tink the front runners have oredi reached back to esplanade area after their u-turn at marina south...and heading towards east coast park.... remarkable!!! half marathon started at 6.30am...the races were staggered to start at half hr intervals.... so my race started at 7am... me and amelia started out leisurely...jogging and juz enjoying the morning breeze...looking at people both on our side of the road and on the other side, those who have oredi completed the marina south area... very interesting indeed! saw a few people wif balloons tied to them...number bibs pasted on the balloons... creative idea...ya? and further down... saw an ang-moh lady wif christmas tree trimmings...apparently she's very into the festive mood! haha... and thr was a cake...fr SOS association, not sure their full name, and they were sort of promoting their organisation..and asking for more people to volunteer... ok...and there were a few more.. saw one guy in costume...one guy beside him carrying this big backpack....WOW! looks heavy man!
oso saw a few familiar faces either at the start pts, end pts or along the way... people from ex-schools, like this guy fr NTU, forgot his name, but it's funny cuz i juz sort of rem him a few days ago, i tink i saw someone who looked like him, then tried to recall his name, but cldn't...instead remembers his gf's name! haha... he's a senior attached to my NBS FOC camp grp. then thr are oso people fr the present, saw a colleague (fr NIE), who's quite a runner, though she looks like ard 50 yrs maybe... and she was doing full marathon...and she was apparently quite fast..!!! tink she runs v often.... way to go man! and oso saw fren of elena's bf, Youqin along the way at marina south... Din see elena's bf, Andy though...apparently they not running together...tt's y! so quite a lot of people were thr this morning!!!
oh ya..abt my own running experience...tink it's v nice running wif SO MANY people... and there were cheerleaders along the way to motivate people along too, tink tt's great! hmm..started running together wif amelia..but lost her along the way, ard the 2-3km stretch...so finished the race alone.. wasn't tt bad, considering i do enjoy running alone... pacing myself... motivating myself... though today self-motivation wasn't tt necessary cuz people ard u actually spurs u on...fr the thrill of overtaking people to the feeling of achieving something together wif a whole bunch of people, though they were strangers... it's a weird feeling... felt inspired to run... actually din stop much..except when i was holding this isotonic drink tt was served in a cup, no way i cld run and hold tt drink w/o spilling it...decided to drink and finished it before running on.... i din even realised it was almost 6-7 km... nvr ran tt kind of distance...but din really feel much tiredness... till i reached ard 8km... tt time was tough... but since i still had only ard 2 km left...i told myself to go on!! haha... and i oso had a secert wish of seeing the first marathon runner come in...i can only do that if i finished my race before he does... so i had to push myself on... was worth it... i was thr 3 mins before he reached...but still din managed to see him cross the line... juz heard him come in over the PA system...MC announcing...everyone was v excited... :)
quite happening at the finishing line area... MCs were funny....seems quite experienced...then they were making the whole event very fun wif their comments and one even danced along wif an MJ song... DJ was great too, providing a whole morning of great songs! me and amelia stood at the finishing line area for quite a while, watching the people come in... very nice to see people come in...cuz everyone looked relieved! haha... some look like they hvn't sweat though...eg. this lady who ran a full marathon...but she was so cool... look like din sweat and was wearing headphones oso... v stylo man! :þ
wah... long blog abt the running....! after the running, nothing much else... juz came home and slpt the whole afternoon... till 7 plus pm and went out meet amelia they all for dinner and drinks... but MAJOR achievement was that we finally got down to deciding some details abt upcoming Xmas party and THE trip.... though it's still a long way to getting everything fixed...at least we making some progress...
anywayz...tink it's late now... i ought to be slpg soon too.... 12.44am.... gdness...but cuz i slpt during afternoon..might hv some probs slpg now... i'm always like tt...
tink thr's nothing much else to else... great day!
