10-10-10: I made it! ^=^

10-10-10 ->> 10th Oct 2010 marked my 1st 30km. I'm so HAPPY that I made it alive.

1st of all must 'THANK GOD' for the beautiful weather else I would not make it within my targetted time of 4.5 hours. In the morning, it was raining and I thought... Oh no.... not another Yellow Ribbon run in the rain. Hahaha...then the rain stopped just when the race was about to start. Yippee!!! After the rain, the weather was pretty cooling all the way till 11am. Mr. Sunshine only woke up after 11am.
I only managed to run non-stop for the 1st 12km. After that, I started to have short breaks in between runs. The 1st 20km was still OK. After that, my legs started to get very tired though waist up can still make it. My waist down basically gave up on me after 25km. I walked a lot during my last 10km and was like dragging my legs at some point.
I took forever to complete my last 1km. The timing ain't great but I'm glad I completed my 1st 30km. I think I'm OK for 21km now but for full marathon definitely need LOTS and LOTS of training to avoid 'jelly legs'. Hahaha...
And here's the medal we got for finishing the race. This round's run have no nice goody bag and the running T is just a normal T. Anyway, a lot just joined to clock the 30km.
The next run wil be on 24th Oct 2010 - Nike City Run 2010. ^=^
