Q: Who is naive enough to think that it's easier to run the marathon solo with a mp3 player and energy food?
A: Bun
Q: Who is stupid enough to go work instead of taking a MC after running for an overnight marathon?
Q: Who eventually still managed to finish the sundown marathon?
only till now i can sit down stretch my leg & relac my body....i have never felt so aching after a run before...if only i have a bath-tub i probably just slp inside with luke-warm water....
the sundown marathon is both physically & mentally tiring....cant imagine i still got the energy to work...best still im still quite awake now...haaaa
u know, i realised itz not easy to complete a marathon...esp not if you are running alone!!! itz probably the worst & best run i ever had since i started running....im really really grateful that i've met up with terence, terence's fren & albert....without them, i seriously dun think i can finish this run....and of coz my two besties, jon & des who stayed up at bedok jetty to support me!!! and those who msg me that wishes me luck....im really grateful....
thank you des for sending me to changi point and back home....itz really very xin fu to have transport to and fro....saving me from my troubles and hassles...and also bringing us to eat dim sum haaaa....and msg-ing in the middle of my run to push me to move on....ARIGATO!
thank you jon for eventually coming down to support me...i really din expect you will do that...a big surprise for me lolx!! though you keep pulling down my morale before the run, but u will still keep msg-ing me & even call me to encourage me and ask me how am i doing!!! itz really a motivation, my mr mean cum mr nice (depending on his mood) haaa~ anyway, ARIGATO!
thank you bert for running first half marathon with me!!! seriously if u never call me and run with me following my pace, i cant make it to first 10km!! the first part of the run is really very difficult...itz a very very long stretch of route behind the changi terminals....itz just like a never-ending route...imagine the first part aldy make u so demoralising, how to continue?? bert is so nice that he slow down his pace to mine, and we chiong the first 10km, relac abit and chiong all the way to 15km...that's where we saw terence & his fren at the 15km water point...after that bert continue to run with me, and we even drop by mac to buy food coz both of us very hungry...itz enjoying to run with bert, we talked rubbish, joke ard, talk abt food and looking at handsome guys and pretty gals....haaa~after 21km bert ran ahead of me aldy...and i was alone by myself...by 24km i msg jon saying im very very tired aldy....itz going to be 4am and itz my slping time!!! my morale dropped to the max....along the way see ppl sitting down chit chat, got ppl even fall aslp on the benches!! im really forcing myself to walk, run, walk run....saw terence & his frenz sitting down doing stretching at ard 27 or 28km...
thank you terence & fren for walking with me till almost the end!!! after i crossed the overhead bridge at ard 28km i saw them walking aldy....i also cant run any faster....our leg muscles is starting to ache!!! by the time reach 30km we literally just walk only...and it seems that 1km is further away from another 1km....even walking is hard for us now....muscles are really very aching....forcing ourselves to walk faster...and keep stretching now & then....we walk from 1 park connector to another....the connectors are just never ending!!! we were hungry, exhusted, pain, slpy and low morale.... at this point of time, itz no longer physical....itz mentally pushing urself to move on le....literally looking out for the big signboard to show we have finished yet another 1km...
itz really very scary....i've been thinking if i were alone for the whole run, will i finish it anot...i used up ard 7.5hrs to finish a 42km marathon...itz a long time, but glad i completed it...as a first timer, im just there to experience....and i learnt my lesson...next time must drag at least a friend to join...cannot do it alone!!! haaaa...looking forward standard chartered marathon =p

Height: 153cm
Weight:50.9kg
BMI: 21.7 (normal is 18-22, so im quite close to FAT)
BMR: 1174kcal (Basal Metabolic rate - amt of energy enpended while at rest; digestive system is inactive...normal ppl is 1500-1800kcal, so mine is super low!!! but i always hungry easily -_-""")
Fat Percentage: 22.9% (desirable range is 17-24%)
Fat Mass: 11.7kg
FFM: 39kg (FFM- Fat free mass; weight of my bones & muscles)
so all and all, my desirable weight shld be 49.1kg, desirable fat mass shld be 9.9kg...as such i got 1.8kg of FAT to LOSE!!!!
so pls dun say im getting thinner.... haaaa
and running doesnt lose fat...i run to build up stamina yea *_^

fri after work went to millenia walk to collect my race pack for sundown marathon....the queue was long and the race pack is big yet pathetic...the only thing i like is the adidas white singlet...after that rush my way to jurong point...to get a cake for michelle from the icing room..as im not an art student...so thatz probably the most ugliest cake she ever get!
