Still on PG Bridge Marathon

klik di SINI :P

Finally...as a wrap..here is our official time to complete the 10km. :D

We Did IT! Woo Hooo!

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

I registered for the marathon just for fun. The aim for medal is also for fun. But doing something for fun does not mean u do not need to do it wholeheartedly. Hence, the practise. In life, nothing come for free. At least, not in my life. (Ooops...tetibe sensitif plak..almaklumlah...baru achieve another dream today :P ) Anywayyyyyy.... here's the story.

Woke up at 3.30am to the sound of thunder. Imagine that. (-_-) But, we already made a pact that we will run, rain or no rain. Thankfully, the rain ceased at 5am. While on our way to Queensbay, we could already see those who completed the Full Marathon(which start at 2am), and they have medal around their neck! Super Jeleous! We got a pretty nice parking spot and head off to the surau area. Once done, it's already 5.55am, so, we head straight to Eastin as the start for 10km will be there.

There's a cute incident. The kids, who are entering the junior category joined our queue. And the organizer need to repeat many times asking them to step aside as they will be disqualified if they start together with us. Some of the kids did not really listen to the organizer, so they remained there among us. We tried to identify a few kids and help to brief them that their category will start at 6.30am. Cuteness la these kids!

So, here is our route for 10km run.. We started from the red arrow there. Feeling a little energetic, i ran all the way from the start until the X there. Can u see it? the red X. After that i started to slow down, but still run intermittent with walking. So that i don't loose the time.

And the strategy worked indeed! Unbelieveable lah! Gosh.. if only i could record what i am saying in my head.

"Don't give up Zue..Don't you dare"

"Keep on running Zue. The moment u stop, that's the end"

"Zue..if you don't get the medal, will u hv regret for walking when in fact u can run"

"See..the old lady also cut you Zue"

"What the Fish..got kids cut u some more"

"Don't let Marlina get out of your sight..Go catch after her. Run!"

Thus, i was so overjoyed that when i hit the finishing line, i actually said "Woohooo". And then... can't stop smiling while waiting for the medal. Surreal... :D

Thanks so much to Azleena, Fazot and Marlina for joining in. Having u gals around, is really a big motivation. REALLY! And not to forget Kak Rosni n Aida for inviting me. Hihi.

Pergh. Ucapan macam menang 1st prize jer. :P

Well....1st prize or not... i m really happy i did this. :)

Thx again...buddies.

20days

Went up to Botanical Garden at around 6.30am. woohhooo.... ;P (pat on the back). I thought that it was early, but already the carpark is almost full. Crazy people of Penang.

Crazy or not? When we reached,there are already people leaving. Means, they came at 5am or something?! But then again, the real PG Bridge Marathon run starts from 3am(21km), 6am(10km). So, i managed to run+walk for 3 rounds in 30minutes. I guess thats good enough to proof that the 10km in 1.5hrs is doable. I just need to buckle up and run more... sometimes, i don't really feel that tired, but i just like to stop and walk instead of running... hmmm... then i did another 3 more round of walk... and leave at around 8am.

And of course, the exact motivation for waking up early its actually breakfast time. Nyum!

27 Days....

halu halu..... latest training done is jogging + walking around usm for 1hr... and so far so good, dah takde sakit2 anggota badan... today morning, intended to jog at uSM stadium, but i dozed off, theeehee.. when i woke up, i need to hang the clothes, and when everything was done, it's already 8.30 am...so, i bailed on jogging and went for roti canai breakfast instead.... ;P Superb!

33 days.....

May Day May Day.....

One day, over lunch, Aida talked about joining Penang Bridge Marathon... and then later on, Kak Rosni also mentioned that she registered. Then, an idea sparked in me. Ting! Why don't i do this too?! Besides, I could also include it into once in a lifetime list. ;P

And registered i did. Oh well, after the last hike up kinabalu, then come puasa, i've retired from physical activities. In order to get myself prepared for the 10km marathon, here's what i did and what happen next.

What I Did?

2 weeks ago, i started by a 30minutes jog around USM sports arena.

What Happen on the Next Day?

Pain at the thigh..... ;(

What I Did part 2?

Went up Bukit Jambul on last Saturday

What Happen on the Next Day?

Pain at the calf... ;(

I guess pain is a good thing coz that means the muscle is starting to adapt to the exercise, right? So....33 days to go, according to Omin, need to exercise at least 4times a week.... macam mana ni.......
