hello bloggy!
i must blog this down. =]
2nd marathon!
every race is memorable in its own way.
but this is really memorable and smiles! =D

5/12/2010.
fe did her 2nd marathon!
n this would nt be possible without joy! *double happiness*
haha thanks loads kid! i will never forget this race!

always felt that life was a marathon!
there would be points of time when u feel like shit and feel like giving up and wonder what the hell are you doing here? but these time would pass and things will be ok =]
i used to have a dream to do a marathon!
n i did it.
n i decided to go every even yr 2008->2010->2012->2014..till i completed 10! =]
was worried when 2010 came n was thinking if i would really do the marathon.
it's really scary to do it all alone! =X
n it was when we decided to complete the marathon together in 2010!
haha whenever i say "yes" to marathon, i feel that i m mad.
n this time round, i pulled 5-yr-old kid into this whirl of madness too =X

n we started running on our own to train for the big race! =]
5/12/2010.
woke up at 2am and left hse to meet llz at 3am at bedok stadium.
it was raining when i left house! was chilling cold *brrr* ran in the rain and pray really hard that the rain will stop asap.
met llz and we boarded the 315am bus to head to our starting point.
nice songs on mp3 on the way.
somehow brought back the countless bus rides during the u18 trip.

n tada! reached orchad with all the purple-themed deco.
cool! orchad in the morning =]
went ard to look for toilet but din manage to find one.
put on the number tag and stretch a bit and we are set to go! =]
mp3 plugged in n we took our 1st steps to the countless steps!
was supposed to stop every 30mins but both of us felt strong n we kept going!
the view on the way was good! jus breathe in with good music and see the different places of singapore.
heard some cheers and encouragments! =]
always thankful for all the supporters! without them, the race would not be possible.
stopped for some water and a toilet break and made our way to ecp on time -- 7am.

haha we stopped n had breakfast + banana at ecp ard the 12km marker.
was really hungry! haha
n we continued our run!
the next 8km was a start on the mental strength when you see ppl running pass you on the other side. =X
kid was doing still well! thou there was pain in her knee.
while ankle was starting to give me tightness and the back of the knee.
but it was still bearable. =]

reached 21km and we jus aimed to get out of ecp cz it was really torturing.
haha the ecp stretch nv fail to kill.
both of our legs started to give prob but with the motivation of getting out of ecp, we hanged in there strong with the help of counterpain! =P

n finally out of ecp!
when we thought things will be better and as i assured kid tt things will be better,
it din turned out to be the case!
so sorry kid! haha din expect that we would be facing the construction site!
the heat was really madness and there wasn't any water points along the whole stretch!
kid's hand started to swell and it was really worrying.
learnt that it was signs of dehydration n just hoped that a water point would come soon. =X
felt guilty that i dragged her to this madness.
n jus hope that kid would be ok!

and pass 32km.
the sun was getting stronger and both of us were getting tired by the min.
the fatigue of the legs and the tiredness of body and the mentally torturing mind.
haha i can only say, the strength and support of a trusty friend pulled me to the end of the race.
for the last 10km, we pulled each other and we know that, no matter how tired we get, we will definitely make it to the end point TOGETHER! =]
that's why we came to this race together!
don't walk behind me, i can't see.
don't walk infront of me, i can't catch up.
walk beside me and we will complete this race together!
朋友一生一起走。
that's our promise for this race and we will keep to it!

the last few km was really torturing as ankle started to tighten.
n there was a upslope!
gosh. they must be kidding us.
thankful there was kid! =]
she pulled me up the slope and for the rest of the journey.
really thankful for i found a true friend who cared for me despite her own pain n fatigue!
i would never forget the moments when you pulled me into the shades to be away from the sun while you stayed in it!
for this, thank you llz! really thankful that we decided to do this race together!
without you, this race would not be possible!
hand in hand, we came to the end of the journey and with a smile..last 100m here we go! =]
we made it!!

这个马拉松真的很有意义。
因为，我们一起完成了！
谢谢你！
谢谢你陪我完成了这段路程！
这段艰难的路程，我们看见了彼此最脆弱的时刻。
我们给于彼此鼓励和支持！
我们坚持着那信念。
朋友一生一起走！（跑）
我们一起做到了！=]

n it's a really nice thing to finish a race together! =]
this will be something that we can put into our scrapbook and show our kids in the future! =]
