Standard Chartered Marathon Run 2011

Im here to post about the Standard Chartered Marathon Run 2011 :) credits to poh choo for pictures , am so glad she brought her camera that day ! or else this will be a picture-less post and i am definately glad to have pictures to remind me of my first 10km run!

days before i found out we're supposed to reach college by 5am ( so i needa wake up by 4am)  i was rather gobsmacked !OHMUHGAWD can imagine a sunday morning where everyone in your house is sleeping like theres no tomorrow and you'll needa wake up to prepare for a marathon? crazzzy rite? bt let me tell u its worth every single minute !!!

am supposed to kong at the bus but yvonne darling is next to me so obviously we chatted all the way there ,when we reach KL yvonne suddenly asked" ..arent we suppose to be sleeping in the bus?" hahah FAILED. and in the bus we can see like ppl running already! WOW those full marathon ppl , feel like rolling down the window and shout/cheer for them, imagine them starting to run at 5am , who am i to complain that i need to reach college at 5am rite?! i think those ppl woke up like 3am or so.

cheers!!! Wore the ICAEW team t shirt :) seriously it gives you the extra motivation to run faster !

 a can do attitude *ACA*

my number :) and my dear lil ipod shuffle that is always with me when i run and sweat and smell like a monkey! what would i do without you~

 YEA we have this tag thing on our shoe!!!!!!!! like house arrest rite!  i wore my reebok runtone shoe that day bt its not in this picturee

when it reached 7am , we all lined up at the starting point and am shocked to see the LARGE CROWD! seriously weyh its like A HEALTHY LETS RUN  jay chou's concert !!!!!!!! and when we are supposed to start running, we couldnt because we were squashed together so we can only walk . so after walking awhile we got really bored so we found a alternate route to go infront of the crowd where it is less crowded and started running! 

"oleeee olee olee olee~"

 seeing everyone around you run, will seriously make you push yourself to run too! my calf muscles were rather aching when i reached 8km , but i continue running because seriously u'll just get the "runner's high" and wont stop! i only walked around 500 m because i needed to use the rest room and uh i kinda fell halfway 0_0 luckily arthur, annei and wei jian were there to pull me up ! ( icaew ppl stick together yo )

i enjoyed running the marathon, omg KL's view is SO BEAUTIFUL and the weather is so cooling because it rained a lil before we started running, THERES NO SUN! so imagine its like a perfect day for marathon! great weather forecasting std chartered ;)

HAPPPPY PPL :) checked my running results and my net time for 10km run is 1 hour and 5 minutes! am so happpppy! im gonna join more marathon in the future ! whos with me?!?!?!
and after that you feel so hungry you just feel like gobbling everything into your mouth, and thirsty too 0_0 i kept drinking water after that!

ICAEW team

lastly, thanks arthur and cheok for helping us with the registration etc! its truly a great experience and i hope to join more marathon next time ;)

and also ive learnt a BIG LESSON after this marathon

listen to the doctor

UH so after the marathon i think i over pushed myself because super excited/just want to keep running so i hurt my leg muscles badly, and i went to see the doctor who asked me NOT TO DO ANY EXERCISE for one week

and i kinda disobeyed his "orders" after 3 days because i feel so lazy! so i went to skip rope and uh kinda twisted my leg so now im back to another NO EXERCISE UNTIL YOUR LEG IS FULLY RECOVERED period =_= greaaattt and smart doctor gave me this medicine that makes you drowsy so, obviously i cant exercise *sigh*
