Aftermath of the 10km run

Finally went for my first marathon for the year!

The Great Eastern 10km run held on 01 November 2009 (Sunday)

I was quite reluctant to wake up that morning. I felt I was lack of practice and will stress myself too much with it. On the other hand, I knew I would regret if I didn’t make myself go.

Thus, woke up at around 5am, prepared, woke Ed up (He was supposed to have a run with his pals at ECP after sending me to the starting point). Left home and reached Marina Square at approximately 6:40am. Flag off time at 7:00am. Its actually kinda disappointing this year, in the previous marathons (anyone of them), before the flag off, there is usually 5 mins of “warm up” with music and mass work out. Thus I asked Ed to stay till after flag off. However, this year there isn’t any! Everyone was just doing stretching and when the EmCee said that flag off soon, we just walked nearer to the start point, then he said “1 min of silence before flag off”… I heard some ladies said ” SILENCE?” Then the “BEEEEEEEE” sound came… Duh….

In the end Ed didn’t go for his run as well, his friend didn’t manage to wake up in time, he waited for me at the car park.

Anyway, I’m glad I went for it. Although I walked quite abit. Ended up with really sore muscles even till today. Hope I can complete the 21.1km for SG Marathon in 30 days!
