yAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I COMPLETED ADIDAS SUNDOWN MARATHON 42km!!!!! wahaha...
was really glad that I managed to achieve what I set for myself at the start of the year and that was to complete a marathon. The euphoria and sense of achievement that I've gotten after running for 7 hours was unbelievably great. I'm so proud of myself that I managed to persevere, hang on and run despite the sore muscles that were taking a toil all over my body... Maybe it's the I-have -a-banana-before-the race effect or the fact that is running at night that kept me running continuously for the 1st 25km because usually my threshold is 10km and i will strt to walk thereafter.
SOmehow, I guess it was my mind that did a great job in psychoing my body to keep going despite the weariness. At the start of the race, I kept telling myself to run at least 21km for the first half before stopping. Otherwise, I would definitely not be able to regain my momentum. And so my body abided my mind's instructions and viola! I DID IT WITH A POSITIVE MIND THAT DRIVED MY BODY TO THE FINISHING LINE.
Nonetheless, I could still admit that running 42km wasn't an easy feat because my body went out of my mind's control while I was on my journey back. But thanks to junlong who was constantly keeping to my pace and encouraging me to move on, I conquered the 42km.
I guess this would be my first and last marathon haha... since I just want to challenge myself to a new limit and try for fun... Till then, it would be another 2 weeks before I resume running.
