Update of "the" day

If you have been reading my previous post I spoke about my run 2 Sunday ago. I was saying that even a minute faster than the past is still an improvement.

Now....Guess what!!! I reached the finishing line at 1:16, 1 minute faster than my last run!!!!! Haiz....Toto also not so chun lah...I was hoping to complete below 1:15. Argh well....it's over.

At least, this time round, I no longer have the mental struggle of "why am I making myself doing such thing in an early Sunday morning", which is truely, seriously de-motivating on my 1st time. This time the struggle came when you just can't wait to reach the finishing line and that your leg is getting heavier and heavier. Your body started to give some warning, pain in the knee, pain in the butt, just don't feel comfortable anymore BUT it's still bearable. At this point of time, you probably need emotional strength as much as physical strength to keep you going. Usually happen to me after clocking abt 45 mins. Slowly, you see everybody running past you. And you started to take a quick peek behind, to see are there still people behind you. You just want to make sure that you're not the last to reach the finishing line. Luckily, there are many many more behind you and soon you realized that you're not that slow in actual fact :) muahahaha

One thing I realized though...is...do not judge a book by its cover. The plum and clumsy does not mean they can't run and the slim and "fit" looking doesn't mean they can run either. hehe....

So...at the end of 1:16:05 hr, this is what I get:

- 2 bananas
- 1 orange
- finisher medal (ONLY 10km FINISHER can get hor)
- learnt to endure pain and exhausion
- great sense of achievement

More to come on 3rd Dec...............................
