i completed the adidas sundown marathon! =))






A few glorious moments with the finisher t and the medal!... You could look at that "cui" super tired look on my face and know that that was right after the race.. after that oh so long 42km!!.. which i completed in 8hours plus... IM PROUD OF MYSELF... the marathon was so so tough that i almost wanted to quit halfway.. i ran till i couldnt run anymore at the 18km mark it started to get so long... especially in the ulu parts of park connectors and reservoirs.. on lesson i learnt i took from this marathon is you definitely need someone to run with you, and if you want to run a marathon, you need lots and lots of training... i could say that was the most killer 8 hours of my life... my feet hurt and my knee constantly throbbed, but perserverance pulled me through and im proud that i completed such a feat!... IF DANIEL CAN COMPLETE 42KM SO CAN YOU!.. hahah!.. after the marathon, i couldnt walk for an entire day cos my hamstring and knees were hurting like MAD.. but im a whole lot better now, it was an experience of a lifetime!!!... every km never seem to end, and i was way off my expected timing, but hey, its my first marathon man!! wooo!.. =))

Today's maths results... AND I GOT A D!!.. hahah thank the Lord for blessing me with a D! =).. if not for my careless mistakes, i couldve gotten higher than a D...oh well, whats done is done.. and 13.5 points are with me!... p.s this is already 3 times highers than the points i got for my mids.. and i havent got all the papers back yet!.. YYAAYY!.. hahah (if you wondered, i managed to limp walk to school and it got a lot better after that!)

A BIG THANK YOU!.. to all those who supported me along the marathon.. the people i made friends with.. the nice families along the route who gave me stuff to drink and spur me on with jellies!.. the nice encouraging volunteers along the way who were all smiles... you, who called me so worriedly after the marathon to check out how i was... marcus who waited for me even if he didnt have to.. all my friends who congratulated me... THE LORD WHO MADE THIS EVEN POSSIBLE!.. =))

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE, GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!!.. (please don't ever run a marathon if you're not prepared) =))
