5:36:04. Quite pleased with my timing, though I don't think it was my PB, but considering I haven't been running like how I used to, and managed to brave through the rain with my lousy knees that was on the verge of giving way even before the half way mark, it's quite a good end to my marathons.
The first 15km or so was enjoyable, running through the city, mbs with angmohs cheering the runners on with a mug of beer, marina barrage etc. Then my poor knees started to ache and my tummy too, I thought I emptied my poos before the run but apparently not. Then came my most hated ECP, it was a battle between mind and body, or rather legs. Around the halfway mark, it started to rain! Well, I was kind of thankful it was a distraction for the pain in my knees and the emerging poo as I was busy trying to keep my iphone dry. When I finally crossed the finishing line, collected my finisher's tee, I thought to myself: why the hell did I put myself through more than 5 and a half hours of pain just for this shirt, next time I'll just spend the money to buy myself some dry-fits!
Ok, enough said, I promised cheeky I'll take good care of my body to pop some monsters, so no more marathons :)
Took half day off on Monday to sign our lease and almost emptied my pathetic CPF. HDB rocks, take 5% of down payment on the spot and only refund the $2k booking fees one month later. Alright, next step will be taking the keys to our love nest! :)
Now that's my cheeky boy when I said "wait don't eat first, I take photo first!"
