42km. A goal. A promise.

I'm glad that the pain in my left foot is gone. =)

And I can finally run properly during my usual training!
Thanks to 'coach' who disciplined me during my 'injury time'.

So, I shall proudly announce 1 of my 2010 resolutions:

TO RUN MY FIRST EVER 42KM BY END OF THIS YEAR.

Tentatively, the most probable timing would be during the Penang Bridge International Marathon 2010 - 21st November 2010.

The marathon is a long-distance foot race with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards), that is usually run as a road race.

Been 'googling' Full Marathon world records...and well, I can only read those records in awe. =p

Hahaha...But I've taken my 1st baby step by beginning to DREAM about it!
So I guess I'm not so far from achieving. (in my dreams) =D

Run on Quin!

*peace*

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2008

Tears rolled down my cheeks when the Finishing Line crossed me.
I mean when I...when I...ME!!!...finally crossed the Finishing Line.

For a Newbie like me....

It was such great experience..to be able to run on the hassle-free Penang Bridge!
to have fresh clean morning sea breeze gently wiping my sweat!
to run in the dark (it was 5am when my run started)...and see the 1st ray of sun light on that wonderful morning~~shining on my path to the finishing line!!

All I wanted was to complete the race..time was not a factor. But to have completed my maiden 25km at the speed of average 9mins/km is not so bad after all.
A positive starting note for me. =)

My first 25km~~of sweat and blood and tears....
Now that I've proven to myself that I can do it...I'm more confident for the runs in future.

Next destination on my Running Calendar:
Singapore Standard Chartered International Marathon ~~ 7th December 2008~~

Just do it =)

the Marathoners from Taiwan...to them, 42km was 'sap sap sui' (super easy).
all of them completed the run effortlessly......scary. >.<



The 3rd Phuket Laguna International Marathon themed Run Paradise attracted thousands of runners from 21 countries~~I did not carry along my camera...would have taken more shots that would tell you what I witnessed and how I felt that day....AMAZING.


Me and sis at the start..........hahaha......we ended up at the 'end'...well winn would know what I mean. =.="


Great hosts for the big day~~~multi-lingual too.....
