It's over!! At least I managed to crawl to the finishing line with my sweetie...heehee
Packed the night before...
Couldnt really sleep on saturday night... so end up in bed at abt 12 plus but couldnt fall asleep...
Then at 3am, got an sms from sweetie to ask me to wake up...wat?? 3am?
Our bus is at 430am near my place... so I thought I'll wake up at 4am 15mins to get ready....anyway, I got out of bed at abt 330am....didnt think slept much but I wasnt feeling sleepy too... too excited liao? maybe
Ate a few slices of sara lee and had milo!! Showered, bombed, changed and I'm out!!
Met sweetie along the way to the bus, sweetie took a cab down to my area... Later he told me the cab cost $20+!!!! I was furious!!! How can it be so ex? I know tat from my place to ntu is abt $7 and abt $10 with midnight charge... even with booking fees (sweetie didnt call the cab line to get the cab, it was someone's someone's contact) it shouldnt be so ex ma.... Mercedes Cab got so ex one meh???? I'm going to ask my dad about it...
On the bus we met Dennis...
Anyway, we reached padang at about 5 like that... Daphne havent reach so sweetie and I waited at one of the tents for her and we met Jeffery there....
Ex Vice Pres and Ex Pres of NTU LG hor, dun play play...wahaha
Then Daphne came!!
Okie, I know I super BHB la...cannot issit...
We didnt register together loh! Heehee....
Next, it's picture time for sweetie and me!!
We went to Suntec Adidas shop and they didnt have the sizes then they helped us call citylink also dun have and then we walked to bugis they dun even have this design...was so sad but sweetie was so nice, he went to look for it at JP and they got both the sizes... heehee
I didnt smile so another one...
Tradition... always must have self portrait....so here it is!!
Okie, so it's time to get ready for The Run!! Had to check in my bag so no more pics le....
We met Sumiko at the Baggage tent...
Went for some warm up with daphne and sweetie.... personally I dun believe in doing warm up cuz I CANT BE BOTHERED...haha
It's always the case that before any run etc, daphne will always be stretching and doing her warm ups while I'll always be squatting beside her and stretching my facial muscles...talking...
This is like the classic pose when I run with daphne... Miss staying in hall with her and training with her...so sad that she's no longer in NTU...
Anyway, when the run started, Daphne broke away pretty early... sweetie stick together with me throughout the run...
We started in front of esplanade.... then ran to shenton way.... I always get very excited when jogging early in the morning with so many people... I feel so healthy...haha!
Hmmm, then we run to marina south and then there's a turn at the end of it...we saw the Kenya runners...they are so fast! and so skinny! heehee... I really dun understand how a human can run 42km in that kinda pace.....
Saw a couple of friends.... after we got out of marina south, we ran back to padang area then head to national stadium and then to east coast park....
I think the east coast park is the worst route... think half way in, we hit the 21km mark... it's abt 30~32km when we finished with the east coast park area I think...
Sweetie and I walk for like 1km and jog 2km for quite a distance...aim is to finish the 42km... didnt train and I THINK I still want to be able to feel my legs so must not kill ourselves... too young to die liao...bleah...
I think the worst part for me is abt 35km onwards.... I start to get irritated, cuz it's really hot and I feel tat my knees are starting to give way...on our way from national stadium to esplanade, I start to have stitches and my knees hurt quite badly...but heng I got sweetie with me... he held my hand and we walked...
When we are abt to reach esplanade and less than 2km to go, we start to jog again...all the way to padang and the finishing line. Suddenly my legs seem to wake up liao...and I saw daphne near to the 100m mark area cheering...
so sweetie and me start to go faster...wah, finishing liao leh.... then at like 25m to the finishing line, I poke my sweetie.... he buay zi dong, must hold hands finish together ma...
We finished in 6hrs 6mins plus if I remember correctly.... it was abt 10mins slower than my first marathon but I'm still very happy... I did it with my Sweetie!!!
I dunno if he regret agreeing to join this run with me... we both agree that marathon is really no joke esp if you dun run long dist regularly... yeah... but I dun care la.... sign up liao pay liao MUST finish.... anyway, the finisher tee is SOO Nice!! It's the black version of our blue adidas running top with some extra prints loh but the MOST IMPORTANT thing is it FITS ME!!! My first marathon tee is way too big for me...sob sob
But I was alittle sad that this year they didnt give out the medals right after I run and someone will come and take pic for us... we had to exchange our timing chips for our medals and our tee...sigh...so no pic of us wearing medals...sigh...
Anyway, after we got our medal and finisher tee, we went to collect our bags. Saw a couple of friends there too... it's nice to see so many friends there... all stretching and mingling around...
After 42km, I cant wait to get out of my running shoes... so after we got our bags, we sat at the grass patch to change...
and since my camera is back, I shall take some pics...
He thinks I want to take a pic of him but actually I was taking picture of my foot!! >=|
My turn now...
Dunno why when I smile like this I always look like I'm going to eat ppl up like that...haizz...
So after tat we went to wash up and went to have lunch at NYDC...
Wanted to shop but both of us were so tired (sweetie almost dozed off at NYDC!! poor thing...)so I made Sweetie come over my place...heehee...
Had to take one more pic when we reach my house...
Wanted to watch VCD at first but I guess too tired liao, so I sweetie sleep on my bed while I give him a nice....
FACIAL MASK!!!
heehee..... had fun putting it on his face and then washing it away with sponge soaked in warm water k!
I'm so nice to him right?
Alright enough for this entry liao, have to really tidy my room today, tmr I shall start going down to IMRE liao....let the Nightmare (FYP) Begin....
I think everyone is already working hard on theirs...except me....haha...
