When I first told the wifey I wanted to run a Full Marathon, she was worried. But mostly pissed. 😆 Cos she was afraid I push myself too hard, and something bad might happen. Well, that was totally understandable.
But truth is, this is the fittest I have ever felt in all my 40+ years. Yes, even fitter when I was in TAF Club in Sec Sch, even fitter when I had to serve NS earlier because I failed my NAPFA test, even fitter when I was close to 100kg when I got married. So it’s really all or nothing NOW, in case it goes downhill from here. 😅
And that was why I ran 42.36km. Erm, I overshot the distance by a bit because towards the end, my tired mind couldn’t function at all and I wasn’t sure if the distance was 42.195km or more. So I just ran more to be sure. Lol.
The whole ordeal took me about 2.5 days to recover but the experience was worth it. Towards the end, it was basically sheer mental strength that pulled me over the finish line. Oh, and mental stress too… because I feared I had to do it all over again if I gave up.
And yes, once is enough for me. Just click through the pics to see how my energy levels slowly dip and you will understand why. 🤣
