after sckl marathon 2010, i m back on the road running like a mad dog... this is my third marathon after the hukm prostate cancer run which was shortly followed by the kl marathon. i dont know why i love running the distance which i would hatefully hate after each run. that awe full feeling doenst usually last long as after a week or so i will be back running..
the run stated since yesterday when me and ma running partner(sue) went to collect our running package at the wisma ocm, as we both are still considered as marathon virgins we had the most'fun' time searching for that dread full building.. theres always a positive side to a terible day.. we eventually learned that the place is infront of stadium negara and it is on jalan hang jebat... FYI, both of us are johoreans playing our cards in kl.. we are determined to know kl more than KL-ites themselves. i m sure we will continue to explore kl due to our marathon campaign. i would like to take this take this oppurtunity to thanks mohana's father for giving us some useful direction to that stupid building. (mohana is sue's gf).. the misery didnt end there as the parking inside that building is rm5 per entry and that place is in no mans land with nothing interesting nearby.. waste of money.. -lesson of the day=dont park your car inside that building-
then we did some off marathon activity for the whole day....
the next morning is the marathon day... as usual i get excited for every run that i couldnt sleep well and i ended up waking so many times that nite, notably at 1am, 2am, 3am and finally 430am(the supposed time for me to wake up) and then i got up and get some bananas and some milo with some bread..(the combination is not so nice but it did fill my tummy up well). n off i went to pick ma buddy up in mmu.. apparently he worked the from 6pm until 2/3 sumting and didnt sleep and was having some chill out time.. the first thing that came to ma mind was that he wont end up sleeping on the road... then we went to dataran merdeka and did some strecthing and off we went....
i left sue behind from the begining itself as i was a man on a mission .. ma mission is to finish the race and get some clock a gud time... and i think i ran quite fast compared to my normal runs ..
running a marathon is a torture to the physical side and also the mental state.. we cannot be egoistic seeing chicks and oldie runing past you, the only thing to control damage in those conditions is to keep running at our pace... and we must never stop running except when our body cannot take the maximum pressure.. the run was on a new track for me, it went up and down over and over again... but still i mange to run at a decent pace for most of the time... until about 8km when my legs were giving up a little bit, the leg said slow down so i slowed down....
and it went untill i finish teh 10km in 51 minutes, i was suprised with the timing as i was hoping to run in 40++ min, but its ok, i willl continue training untill i reach my target time...
but before that i must get g-shock to keep i track of the time... i was running in the oldest fashion, minus the sport shoe,.. i had no mp3 player, no water bottle, no stop watch, no accessories that all the runners have,, i wish i can buy some of the stuffs one day.... but first i must get a proper running apparels first...thats my next goal ....
n finally my puma is seeing its last days , it is only a year old and did some very gud mileage with me,, it has never given up on me.. but time is nearing for it to give way for a new balance...(i m gona buy it with 30% discount i got from sckl)...
n now i m gona take a week off and be back training next week for the next run i m gona choose to run..
