AHM half-marathon:
completed!! =D
Wasn't so chipper this morning though..I thought I wouldn't even make it to the start. Just before nick picked me up, I had gastric. Urghh. Really ultra
suay..don't even know why when I had breakfast!
Didn't get better as we were walking to the start line. I was super tempted to just turn back and not run at all. Think I gave him quite a scare when everyone else looked so hyped up to run, while I looked like I was dying even before reaching the start point. Lol.
Couldn't rendevous with bern and jc cos' I left my phone in the car..and we kinda reached there late. Started running after the flag-off time and seriously, if nick didn't run alongside me, I probably would have fallen into some ditch and died. HAHA.
Feel kinda bad that I screwed up his timing though..he ran with me more than half the way before taking off ahead since I was better. Whee. And to be honest, I'm not completely sure how I made it, but I ran all the way this time! I couldn't even do that for the passion run the last time..but apart from stopping at water points, I didn't walk at all. =))
Maybe nick telling me the wrong time worked. Haha. Somewhere at the halfway mark I asked him for the time, and he told me
8am. I almost fainted can. That would mean nearly
3 hours since we started! And only halfway! I kind of panicked. Lol. It turns out that he gave me the wrong timing after all..I think it was only 6ish or 7 then. -_-
At any rate! Eventual timing was below 3 hours I think..damn happy! Passion run was slow until it couldn't be slower, so I'm really quite proud of myself for pushing on all the way this time. =D
But now I have
cui-ed knees and I feel like a cripple. Lol. Hurts to the max laa. At least the ankle not as problematic this time..looks like I gotta lay off heels tomorrow. Haha.
It was super ridiculous after the run though. I was supposed to meet nick at some area, but we just couldn't find each other! In the end I walked back to the MS carpark, hoping that he would have the common sense to wait there. But just as I was afraid of..he really got worried that I fainted halfway or something, so he searched for me for
damn long. It was near 2 hours before he finally went to the car park and saw me. Phew!
Wondering now if I should register for the stanchart half marathon, or be crazy and go for the full marathon. Less than 4 months to the race event..if I do full, I wanna complete in under 6 hours leh. Nick's aiming for 5..so I guess I should aim for...5.5hrs? But this one really must train. All my races so far, inadequate training. Lol. I've been lucky..
Okays need to go for dinner soooon! Dedicated such a long post to the AHM..guess I'm still not really over the fact that I managed to complete it within a decent timing. Yays! =))
