Me - A Marathon runner?
Wednesday, December 7th, 2005For those who have known me long enough, you probably would think that I am the last person in the world to be crazy enough to join a marathon. For one simple fact, I hate running. But in this year alone, I have participated in a couple of half marathons (Army Half marathon, Terry Fox Run..etc) and now my first marathon, (Standard Charted 42.195km marathon). I cant explain it. I was amazed my mind literally took over my body when I am close to dying from exhaustion at the 28km mark. I am equally amazed at how my mindset has changed. I am now convinced that Army half marathon is peanuts to me, considering the ordeal I have went through on Sunday. I have toughened up in mind and in soul. Next year, I have fixed my mind on participating some international marathon and half marathons. Anyone care to join me?
The route map of the marathon run….
The start of the run at 0600hrs.
Me at the finisher line after a gruelling 6hrs run+walk+run again…Not a good timing but who cares..
