All that hard work!!
I'm doing something I've never thought I would do... then again, i said the same thing about salsa and tango.... I signed up for the Standard Chartered Marathon... Of course i'm not doing the full marathon, but am starting with th 10km run.... The target is to at least register a time, where the cut off time has been set at 90 minutes....
For a guy who couldnt last a minute running, this is a big thing.... yes, i play futsal and all, but its very different when you're running around chasing a ball, there is a moving target.... now i find myself having to motivate myself to just keep on pushing....
And I'm quite surprised that I'm now able to run for 40 minutes, covering 6km.... impressive considering there are no balls in sight!! This is due to the work I've put in the last couple of months....
And then disaster struck.... the run is on this Sunday, and I came down with food poisoning on Monday... I'm feeling very weak, I havent trained since Sunday, and I dont think I'm in any shape to run the 10 km.....
I'm going to give it a shot anyway, walk if I have to, but I'm going to complete 10km.... But i'm giving a serious thought to signing up for the Siemens 10 km run in mid July.... We'll see how it goes on Sunday before I plot my next move.....
