completed half-marathon! feels shiok in the heart and blardy shiok in the knees butt thigh. hah if my knee permits i would like to do this again..

started off by waking up at 4am, slpt around 10.30 before that.. tried to make myself sleepy by watching witch yoohee but shippuuden special was up.. so i was not really sleepy. ok i tried to force the bread down my throat cos i know that i need some energy. then my dad and mom fetched me over to padang. before we said goodbye my mom said 'happy walking!' -wah piang this further motivates me not to walk during the run.

went to put bag and found szeling and suihui. suddenly feel like shitting and aft that i found myself queueing up to deposit my specs.. so blur of me.. soon we queue up at the starting point.. never warm up or stretch and instead we were chatting happily haha. so fun!

when the race started.. we were running slowly initially. everyone is overtaking us but we din care..continue to run and chatted a bit.. ran all the way to marina south and made a u-turn and ran all the way back. i think at about 10k we picked up speed ba. i knew the pain in my knee would be getting worse but i endured it. at about 10-16k the pain worsen. the kind you would just like to stop and then u'll find yourself limping or falling down. so pain la. but then i rem my mom's words and looking at the people around u running sort of motivates u too. so i just continued. at times i picked up speed and outrun the crowd. soon really really v pain at the point around esplanade and i slowed down a lot.. all the ahpek overtake me.. cant stand it but no choice. it's not the problem of stamina but the prob with the knee.. i know any faster i would definitely fall. so continue to endure this pain and 'anger'.. then run super slow.. at the bridge, from the butt to the thigh went numb painfully. seeing about 200m left,saw megan cheering and some unkown faces calling out my name or 'ex vj one'.. tried to kick, then the butt start to tear and thigh went from numb to super suan. wah it feels super shiok.

i was happy i guess at that point even though i din recall myself feeling happy. it was painful and damn shiok. but a while the knee was so bad that i slowed down to go along with the crowd all the way past the finishing line. when i slowed down to walk.. butt and thigh was so bad that i went quite 'snearndz' aish how shld i spell it.. but means brain getting super lag. walked like a zombie to get my medal.. then grab a bottle and isort of strained my left elbow trying to open it. in the end it cant bend itself. finally found suihui and zzz resting by the memorial they're so pro they did abt 2.00-2.15. my timing was around 2.30.. when i sat down.. whole body super pain. even my tail bone and the neck bone ached.. haha so sat down chatting again and i cant even stretch properly! afterwards they and suihui's friend went to koup some 100plus for me too. in the end i was stuffing 5 cans of 100plus into my shoebag.. haha free stuff!! actually me and zzz wanted to go walk walk but then i was feeling sneard and everywhere's aching..

so in the end went home.. thankfully dad drove me back from amk if not i dunno if i'll survive the overhead bridge. ate apples and then i knocked out for 2+ hours.. feeling sleepy throughout the day and i dozed off again during dinner.. now my kneecapS are aching all over at some bone.. dunno what's happening to me! and the butt area still aches. i doubt i can walk normally till next week. mayb i should do as what lingxiu says and see a sports doc.. its a long story about my injury. oh well. i thought i did a gd job considering that i trained only after my exams. before exams was like so slack too. mayb i should train harder after exams next yr.

gd job girls!! and congrats to lingxiu and aileen! i still dun have the courage and strength to do full marathon like them. hope the pain in the knee goes away
