Its the day which i've been waiting for..The Army Half-Marathon 05'!
well, it was simply great! Despite having NO SLEEP before the race, I managed to run non-stop for 21km and achieved a timing of 2hr 23mins, its more than 3omins faster than my previous record! haha..
During the race, my calfs started to ache at the 5th km onwards, but i have to keep telling myself that i must not stop before 18km coz i stopped at 16.5km last year so i must run better than tt this time.. And when i've reached 18km, i forced myself to carry on..i kept telling myself "fangting, you can do it..u're strong..u will finish the race soon, just keep running!"..the moment i ran close to esplanade at the last km, i took up speed and sprint towards the finishing line..
the feeling was WONDERFUL!..
I'm glad i have completed the race once again..now i'm already looking forward for the next Half-Marathon!
after the race, i went home to change before heading down to East Coast for the first mmsp interactive outing. This outing is for the 16 semi-finalists of mmsp to bond together before the semi-finals. Got to know a few friends there but the problem is, i duno if i should continue to participate in this event. Frankly speaking, i have zero interest in pageants. I dun have any talent to perform for the individual performance, i dun have the confidence on stage and i have slight stage fright. So..should i continue or drop out of the selection?
Aniway the outing was not-bad. We played a few games before going for cycling and bbq. Imagine after the half-marathon, i have to cycle the bike for an hour. Now my calfs are killing me...argghhh...!
oh well, gtg and grab some slp now!
