I DID IT !! THRICE !!!! 3 freakin' times ?!!
hehh. sorry ah head a bit big now. :P but dont worry it'll deflate to its usual insignificance in no time xD
but meanwhileee allow me the pleasure of indulging in the celebration of the end of my long&perilous journey.
im kidding la.
mere words alone can never describe one's experience during a marathon man.
exciting ? only when the start / finish line is in sight
excruciating ? ABSOLUTELY.
exhilarating ? umm..after ??
endorphin-release cum euphoria ??? yes that one is AFTER (x
something like all 4 of those words summed together.
funny they all begin with an "e" . LOL. im sure there are others but thats all's on my mind now.
woke up at 3am today to get ready.
tags gotta be pinned to jerseys
chips gotta be laced into shoes
vaseline to be applied to abrasion prone areas etc
bananas to be eaten
& of course the journey there.
there was like a million people there already when we reached.
we all jostled for our turn to cross that starting line.
even if you weren't enthu at all about it.. by then you'd be no doubt !
the atmosphere was just intense ! the dj did a great job getting our morale upupup (x
& after crossing that starting line so begins your really interesting 42.195 km to the finish line. i cant really describe interesting as it is cuz you'll hafta experience it yourself. & its gonna be one you'll never ever forget.
like getting all cramped up that you can actually barely take the next step when theres still like 8km more to go. then you'll try to psycho yourself that you come all these 36km already whats 8km ?!??!?! it works..for awhile. & then you'd be desperate for the next deep heat station. i was like plastered with deep heat luhh. like my shoulders, lower back , thighs & shin. who ask me never train the entire year. i suffer now & its all my doing i know. but i kinda like it ?? weirdddd Dx.
the funny thing is, everytime during the marathon id ask myself why did i sign myself up for this _ ,promising myself this will be the last marathon EVER. & only to come back again the next year. why ???? i need some logic behind this self torture im bringing upon myself & even ending up enjoying it.
seriously ?! D:
yes i really do enjoy it..the pain the experience everything. the journey has been a real hard one this time around ( cuz i didnt train D: ) so finishing it made it all the more worthwhile i guess. if you get what i mean.. :/
OH. did i tell you !! my mom did it too !! so did my bro & my xiao gugu !! well done (x
im so proud of them all. my mom especially.
her 1st marathon at the age of 44. amazing ?! absolutely. YAY MOMMY !! :D :D :D
daddy's not in the country..or he'd have done it too. he's coming home tomorrow & i can't wait !!
after finishing that grueling thing we went for a feast at newyork newyork. well deserved (:
& now ive a whole spring chicken in my tummy. i still couldnt believe i actually finished the entire thing. i must've been really hungry. ANWS (: it was an awesome meal.
& now im gonna isqueeze me poor aching shins .
i cant wait for tomorrow too (: finally seeing Yonatan after like a million years. xD
i just hope i dont ache as much tomorrow. but i highly doubt that. (; i actually dont mind the pain.its just that i end up walking funny. my bipedalism seems to have been temporarily reduced.
