Marathon #2.

Can someone tell me why on earth did I sign up for this kind of torture again?

Had to drag myself out of bed way too early in the morning and having a badminton session the day before was a really bad move. And we had to park about 1 km away from the starting point - walking TO is all good but walking FROM was almost life threatening. And the running route was hilly, almost 45 degrees at some points. And the dude at the one and only water station gave me false hope by cutting out a kilometer of the actual distance remaining. And at 2km, the front runners have already completed 9km, heading to the finish line - so demotivated! Not forgetting the scent of sambal belacan when passing the student's quarters.


But all in all, although I didn't manage to finish the Mizuno Wave Run within the 90 minutes time frame, I slashed about 25 minutes off the time spent on my previous run, which I have to admit, is pretty satisfying. And the 6 cups free ice cold Milo after the run was so heavenly it brought me back to life, literally.


The one and only image from the run, thanks Jason for the picture.
