D-Day Coming

I can feel that everyone is getting excited yet a little anxious and stress out. The month and month of hard training, sacrificing your sleep waking up in the wee hours like 4am doing lsd (Long Slow Distance) is simply ridiculous you would say or crazy or siao. At least for non-runners :) Not forgetting the interval/speed/staircase/hill training that causes both your legs screaming for mercy.

10 more days and you will reap what you sow. Worth it or not, you decide. Some people are so stress by beating their PB, some are just worried if they could ever cross that finishing line and not ended up DNF or DNS. As for me, I’m kind of relax..haha. Obviously I cannot compare with the full distance runner and more over this is my 2nd time doing a half marathon. To the full marathoners, this is really a kacang puteh. Oh well, a half marathon is achievable with a little effort but if you’re talking about achieving PB, then it’s a different story. To me, I just want to relax and enjoy the run. Having a PB is not that important but will be a bonus if I’m able to finish in less than 2:32hr..hehe

Many many month ago, I simply do not understand why people loves running so much. To an extend that if they don’t run, they feel grumpy, they feel uneasy, they feel that something is missing. On the contrary, running gives them a time to reflect, to find peace, to de-stress, to lose weight….and it goes on and on. It is part of their life. Just like you need air every day. In a few month time, it will be my 1st anniversary joining SGrunners. An indication of the time where I officially take up running seriously. Uh…officially as in I do hill training, speed training and all sort of stuff lah rather than just a normal jogger with no target. Probably I’m being influenced by all the siao people in SGrunners. I’ve probably gotten some bugs from them and becoming one of the siao one. Although not to the extend of siao-ness yet, I have started to believe why running can be so addicted. Hard to explain. You really have to try it to experience. I guess the runner’s high that you get at the end of the run, you may not be able to get it from any other form of cardio exercise. Why people still choose and insist on running even though at times it brought them pain and even bleed………. To be continue………
