Somebody chop off my legs!!
I guess I get what i deserved for being over confident and not going for the training required. I almost bursted into tears when i reached the finishing point, anymore dramatic i think my picture will be the cover guy for standard charter marathon 2007.

I started off the first 23km at a super slow pace with wc. People like ef and yl already bypassed us by a great distance. i knew any faster will lead to dire consequences. Think that i'm lucky for wc to be there to control my pace, else i'll be going at my usual speed. So from the start we hopped from one person to another who was wearing motivational number tag behind. There were "its all in your mind", " jia you", "say hi to me when u overtake me"...etc.. its just so funny to read some of the people's motivational tags. I think i'll put something liddat on next yr to join in the fun. If i'm taking part.

Saw chris at the 15km mark. He was not running, instead , he was the runspirator! Along the way saw aloysius, chun hern, jeffrey, roy etc.. didn't expect to see these people to be there are all. Seriously.

The last 5 km was horrible. Both my legs were shutting down completely. It started off with acute cramps and pains which i ignored, the situation was so servre to the extent that i became numbed with pain (is there such desciption at all??!), as though its has been poisoned or something. It was then the motivator tag in front said "Pain is only momentary, achievement is forever", quite cool right?

Currently, i can't bent my knees and even stand up straight. Think i've over exert myself too much.. Alright then, time for massage!
