I did it!

Went for half marathon and completed it!
YAY~ busted my knees but all worth it!
Waiting for the timing to be released!

This year's run is pretty special to me, coz I'm running alone (no ah fat, peter running 10km with wife), plus I had no training at all. Thought of not running this year but I seriously felt very sad when I made that decision, so fuck care, just run and I'm freaking glad I did!!

The run started well, weather quite cooling in the morning and the crowd is simply crazily wild!! Well, who is not crazy to wake up at 4 plus AM to prepare for a torturous run that lasted at least 2 hours?

Anyways, it was a great run to start with, at the 5km mark, I still feel quite fit. Then something happened....... I was stalked by a lup sup uncle. Ewwwww..... lup sup + uncle = TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!

Signs that I was stalked by lup sup uncle:

(1) lup sup uncle first run beside me and chat a bit "how's the run?" "first time running?". Clever nono knew this uncle is seriously WRONG, so nono spoke a bit and ran faster.
(2) lup sup uncle no where in sight and happie nono ran with SMILES
(3) disgusted nono spot lup sup uncle at 20 degree to her right and he smiled his lup sup smile at nono, so disgusted nono ran behind him so he wont give her the disgusting smile
(5) lup sup uncle looked behind him, to his left, saw nono and smiled AGAIN (EW!!!!! I want to slap him at this point! He thinks he has charming smile? He thinks he is Keanu Reeves?? _l_ )
(6) nono cannot tahan anymore, ran behind him, to his right side. lup sup uncle turned to his left and cannot spot nono. he did it about 3 times and finally smart enough to turn to his right and found nono - again he smiled his lup sup smile.
(8) disgusted nono ran faster and lup sup uncle caught up beside nono and gave nono disgusting smile again
(9) nono lost patience and curse (roll eyes and cursed "oh god"). Then nono ran faster and left lup sup uncle behind.
(10) lost lup sup uncle so nono ran faster then out of no where lup sup uncle beside nono and said "hows the run?"

At this point, nono lost her patience and shouted "UNCLE, I DONT TALK WHEN I RUN AND STOP STALKING ME OR I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE MARSHALL!!" Lup sup uncle suprisingly calm and said "okayyyy" and pehhhhhhhh he ran to the other side.

What a cockster!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I'm glad I gave him a piece of my mind so I can keep running in peace! I bet he did this every year, stalking people, so I rather regret that I didnt bother to remember his number and report him.

Anyways, this year run's is quite challenging. Wah leg muscles cannot take it. I cramp 3 times and had to hop to the side to stretch. And freaking got hungry pangs at my 10km mark. HAHA!
Then this guy had to run in front of me with message glued to his back: "McDonalds' breakfast ends at 10am, so run faster!" I chuckled to myself while dragging my feet to move.

The real test is the fucking long stretch leading to the turning point at nicoll highway. Freaking hot and stamina totally gone. Thats when I had my first calf cramp, ouch! I think I was practically running on the spot, my legs just cannot open wider man! Then..... my greatest motivation came: I smelt BO! Aiyohhhh, I wanna die, so tired already still got BO smell... Dont know who was the culprit, so many people running at the same time. I forced myself to run faster to get fresher air! OH man, cant really blame the person with BO, it's hot, sweaty, wont be suprised got BO smell. But man... really...

But WOO HOOOO finished the whole run, though I definitely took longer than last year. I think last year timing was 2h30 min. This year, I think either 2h40 or 45 min. But the feeling after the race completion is fantastic! though knees totally busted, walked and climbed stairs like crab, it's worth it!!

Next year, full marathon. Hope ah fat can run with me in 2008. YAY!
