My Marathon

Ok, so i din go for the Standard Chartered Marathon this year. Anyway my knees are really getting quite bad even after 6 km at my usual speed of about 1/2 hour i am starting to like limp a bit after my runs. Guess its clear that my days of challenging myself to continousely improve on my 2.4 timings are numbered.

I woke up at about 5.45 a.m. this morning. Changed, had a little breakfast and had to head for Singapore Expo for my CFA paper. I slept at about 2 a.m. the night b 4 and after my morning coffee, i can feel that my head was feeling a bit... light. Something like a helium balloon, but i managed to make my way to the MRT and along the way i saw many people in their Standard Chartered running attire. Its sad i cannot join them this year. Last year i joined and i was late! My race starts at 7.30 and i woke up at 7.15 at home! Kenna sai! I still went anyway and completed my 10k.m. then i met Andrew and we decided to put all the stuff back with a nice breakfast at Plaza Sing Cosisting of eggs, coffee, toasts, Chai Tao Quay and Quay Chup! OMG! It was so damn good! This is what makes a marathon worth running! Haha. :P

My marathon this year was somewhat different. But still its 6 hours long and its really mentally draining and i do mean REALLY! The CFA paper consisted 2 parts one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each consisting of 120 MCQ questions. A lot of people turned up and it was honestly quite scary. Now i am just glad that the whole fiasco is over. This is one marathon i hope i dun ever need to run again.

Now for my holiday plans... i will be spending 2 weeks holiday back with SAF! So SAD! : '(
First exams then more exams and work and now ICT! Haiz.. I am really busy and tired. Hope this incamp will be a good time for me to recharge and relax a little. Meanwhile all u pple out there take care and see you soon! I am really lookign forward to the coming fun row and the aftrermath of the row ( which is also to put back what we burned, which incidentally is also the best part of dragonboating too!). Take care and see ya!
