Half marathon

I can't feel my legs anymore...as much as I love muscle aches, this time round the experience is wayyyyyyyyyy out of my league...ask fen and gage...they'll know how much I whined and gave that grimace- of- pain look with every slightest movement I try to execute.

Yeah...conquered half marathon without training...haha...ran 8 km, walked 13km...halfway thru the running I was so darn hungry...very tempted to run into Kallang Mac when we ran past it...and then came free bananas...which drove the walking me into running pace just so I could get one...never in my life have I been so happy to see bananas...yes...very funny...

Started the race with Angie, then ran off alone eventually...so the rest of the journey I was pretty much alone...okie...Kylie did keep me company quite a bit...

I thought to myself if I manage to conquer this run, I should be able to conquer anything else in life...still I find myself being the same old me...nothing changed or am I being naive to think one run can give me the strength that I'm looking for...

Anyway some pics from bkk trip...

no more night cycling!

o man...my butt is hurting like hell...so are my quads...i think i'll have humongous quads soon...

my first night-cycling trip today with the telok blangah CC...thanx to ah muan who jio me for this event...it turned out to be a mini AH gathering cos quite a no. of colleagues turn up...it's fun! made new frens too...one of them is matt from australia...new podiatrist in AH...fun guy to chat with...he was telling me stuffs about australia...pretty interesting...but at some point i cant quite get his questions cos of his accent...heng he's nice enough to repeat...die lah go aussie how...dun think all will be as nice to repeat themselves leh...cham...

am pretty hopeless in cycling cos first, i keep getting faulty bikes...changed like 3 bikes during the journey...no one broke my record for the nite...am i suey or what?? second, i dunno how to change gear...made myself ride like siao cha bo during up slope cos i used the wrong gear and thus making the ride such a tedious one...luckily during times like these i have ah muan to help..as usual, he laughed at me when i screamed+++ and complained+++ while braving the slopes...he knows how much i hated slopes...be it running or cycling...I HATE SLOPES....haha...juz wanna thank him for helping me throughout....

anyway the whole event was good...cos we have the traffice police to guide us and block other cars for us...haha are we cool or wat...haha i even have one of the big shot policemen to ride along side with me...cos i was struggling with the slopes....darn pai seh....

after the tedious ride back to the CC...we had debrief and were given certificate of appreciation...see still got paper to show that we did nite cycling...haha...first time in my life...i had nasi lemak...after cycling...at freaking 3.30AM! who on earth eat rice in the middle of the niet...anyway it was good...kinda replenish energy alittle...

now i'm all fresh and ready to go to bed...yes with my hair wet..i seriously dun care...if you'll excuse me...i've got an aching butt to nurse for the rest of the day!!
