KL Marathon 2012

So, I finally went to this marathon alone again, fanshu and cutebanana is flying me airplane as expected. I finished the race in 1hr27minutes, quite a poor record. Few factors, I can think of.

First, I haven't been practicing much this time, I only started since a month ago and I know it is insufficient.

Second, I didn't sleep since yesterday and go straight to the marathon. Yesterday was a busy day and I reach home around 12 midnight and after settling all the things, I start to lay down on the bed around 1 am and I just can't get myself sleep. Didn't know whether I slept or not, but 4.30am I start to prepare myself to go for the run.

Anyway, the main reason is that my left leg KOed at 9km and I finished the balance 1.6km by walking only. Seeing all those lenlui running passing by me make me want to cry T.T, and my sweat is helping me to cover my hurt heart, and not to mention a almost 60+ aunty potong me at around 10km T.T

Talking about my left leg, I only remember when I was young, very young that time, I believe is around primary school, I got a very bad fall down and I hurt my leg. And after that incident, when I stand up from the squat position, my left leg will make some sound. And I make it worse after running for 21km marathon last few years. Since then, my left leg always giving me problem.

My next race will the King of the Road on Sept. I think I will skip this one first. Need to monitor my left leg first before I go for another run.

By the way, yesterday is the dumpling festival and hope it is not too late to wish everyone a happy dumpling day.

About running

Well, finished the 1/2 night marathon last Saturday night. I got the result yesterday, ranking at 491 with 2:50 hours, and the first place finish his run about 1 hour++, I wounder how he do that -.-

According to fanshue's father, we should finish the run around 2 hours. So extra 50 minutes telling me, I'm very weak. My legs start to cramp after 2 hours of running and I can't really can run fast, so most of the time walk and run slowly. And the last 2km seem like 20km to me :_( so torturing. However, we manage to finish the run in time.

Before the run, fanshue told me he don't want to run for 21km for the coming KL marathon, but after the run, he changes his mind ^.^ another serious runner. So, me and him go to run for 21km again in the coming KL marathon fall on 27/6.

Lots of my friend also surprise, what happen to this sohai. I never able to finish my PJ (pendidikan jasmani, sorry, I'm too old to remember the subject already :_() running test. And after so many, I start to fall in love with this sport. Hope before 40, I can at least run for full marathon once.

So, take this opportunity to invite everyone of you to join this international event, KL marathon, no matter you are running full, 1/2, 10km or 5km, take this opportunity to test your stamina, create a habit of exercise, and to join the crowd.
