My 1st half-marathon:Std Charter Run 06






Yeah! I did it!

I survived the 21.1km.. though my timing of 3hr3mins26mins wasnt actually that fantastic or even close to the average timing for this year's half-marathon of 2hr38mins.. Just knew about this and my standing amongst the runners through the official website.. Yap.. somewhat disappointing.. but not discouraged... I shall try again... Running can be rather addictive man!

I shall train earlier and aim for 2hr 30mins next year.. Honestly, with my old ankle injury, slight anaemia conditn.. plus my lack of training.. just at most, a week of intense running after my exams .. It is quite an achievement to have completed the entire distance.. At least I didn't cheat as I saw a few runners cutting short the full dist. I think I ran close to 13 km and walked the final 6-8 km ah...Oh yah.. slowing down too to take some photos of the nice views using hp camera & to reply to a couple of sms during the final lap.. Wahahaha.. No wonder.. i so slow right..

Somewhat a leisure run for me too after my nice pacer, Mr. Z ( the chap in above pix) proceed on to "chase" that pretty chick with hair tied up in a red band.. Oh pls dun be mistaken, Mr. Z aint that ungentlemanly ah, was motivating and pushing me on since the 8th km when I started to slow down much .. but due to my ill discipline and exhaustion, I managed to convince him to go ahead and run for his best timing while i shall meet him at the finishing point.. Better clarify this for him, if not..hehe..if not the swinging bachelor on the lookout may end up missing a few good catch amongst the younger female readers of my blog...not much though i suppose.. but just in case ah.. haha...

So any fellow frenzs in her early 20s, interested to get to know Mr. Z better? do let me know okie ;> shall send u his blog site at least..or even hp if he allows.. hehe...

Anyway, a big thanks to Mr. Z for being my pacer and company during the first 15 km.. He's good, man.. clocking a time of abt 2hr 30mins without any prior training cos he was a lastmin replacement for my cousin. I suppose his regular running really helps then..

Nonetheless, I endured through and completed the race at least..A pat on my back... :) gd effort!

Great job for completing the race! Haha...but pls u make me sound as if I am desperate. I was trying to catch up with my friend lah, not chasing the red hair band stranger. (But it does give you abit more motivation to try to see what's "ahead"...haha) Anyway, I am going for Saint John's first aid on the 26th-28th. Cya for the camp!
