Alive!

HELLO! I am back, alive, and not really kicking because my legs are aching. I'm glad I managed to make it without stopping despite not training at all, but I took a horrifying 3 hours to finish, heh. I think walking might have been faster, but I just wanted to keep jogging/running. I'm so unfit now - normally, when I reach the 10km mark, I am encouraged because I'm still going strong and I just have to deal with pushing myself for the last 11km. Today, my legs already felt like they couldn't move at the 7km mark. Imagine how I felt as each km passed by so slowly, haha. And this year's route was horrible... in order to pass through the Marina Barracks, we had run on a stretch of gravel for a few kilometres. It was really so painful.

Nevertheless, I only wanted to go without stopping to walk, and I knew I could do it. While I was driving in the wee hours of the morning to the start area, I already felt like it was possible. And while I was running on that horrible rocky path, I also knew I would eventually finish! =)

Work, work, WORK!
