Too long never blog

Just did 8.4km run on National Day morning with Sgrunner Group. TLR's wedding run. Was suppose to do 12km run but because of the rain is was delay. Therefore decided to cut short the distance. Have a nice breakfast with the gang. Here is a small video clip. Must start training for AHM07. Two more week to train only. Thank God for my back is almost healed now. But still afraid to do LSD. I will do BG run this Sun to see how my body feels. I will use my new adistar control 4 to do the run. Have sign up for this year full marathon too! Still dunno got time to train or not! Not really sure want to sign up for Real run07 or not. $30 seem to be too much for the run. Inflation seem to be normal. But I guess have to think twice this time since there is so many race around the year.

Life after pacesetter

Finally had completed my first ever oversea race. To finish 3hr8min for the 30km route is somehow scary to me. Firstly never run the route before. Don't know how many slope is there? Secondly running in pitch dark area not knowing whether you will trip onto something. Thirdly have the feeling of getting cramp on my thigh soon. Thank God that my tummy din give my any problem. However did enjoy the crowd around me. But not the slope at the last 10k. No time to train for this run is the main reason for this timing. Nevermind, there is always next year. Meanwhile have to concentrate on my Navy Biathlon training now. And of course target to cut down my weight. Target for sweet sixty-four. 'trying to imagine my six-pack' Dream-on!

Cell group gathering

Today come back home early after work. Had a quick dinner then rush off for cell. Did praise and worship. Felt great after that. Teaching by cell leader was ok even though din participate much in the question and answer. We did had some great food brought by one of the member. There was chocolate rum, apple crum and other pastry.

My thoughts after the marathon My feelings now after the marathon on Sunday...... A bit confused, a bit disappointed but still is a joy to take part in is event and complete it. Confused??? Because don't quite understand my body! Why I got cramp?Why happen at 33k mark? I never thought it would happen to me. Could that be my wall? Disappointed! Because I didn't achieve my target. I won't feel so bad if not because of the cramp. Sigh!

Joy is for sure! Because this year my dear Sus is joining me in this event for the first time. Meeting up with most of the Sgrunners to fellowship is fun too. Got chance to share my experience with rest of them.

Lesson learned after the marathon:

1. If have cold during the last two days and follow by 3x diarrhea in the last day, don't push too hard during the race.
2. Lost too much salts through sweat! Must take salt tablet next time before such event.
3. Maintain a easy pace during the first half of the race.
4. Need more training under hot sun!

I guess there is always next year to try again. Mean time will let my cramp recovered fully. Then will start my training again for the year end Ultra-marathon. Once again prayed that everything will goes on smoothly.
