Marina Run was held just 1 day after valentines' day this year, on the 15th February 2014. It was my first half marathon and I totally did not do training prior the event. The longest  and further run I did was 10km with JJ maybe say 1 month before the run.

It was really tough. Probably because of the weight gained during the chinese new year period which made it even tougher. lol. I had leg and toe cramps every now and then throughout the run and had no choice but to stop. To made it worst, my menses came straight smacking on that day. =.=" The run wasn't well organised as I thought it would be. There was insufficient water from 17km onwards. And I was dead thirsty till I reach the finishing point when after that only a small cup of water was given at the end of the race.To the extent at one water mark, there were not enough cups. How could that have happened.

So being hungry, thirsty and very tired, my legs were sored to the maximum but it was really a mind over body challenge and I have to complete it no matter wad. With heavy legs and a heavy head, I dragged myself to the finishing point. It was my first half marathon I really took such a long time. 3 hours 10 mins. This weekend would be a 2XU compression run and I am targeting to try and finish it in 3 hours or less. wish me luck.

my finisher medal - and I am very proud of myself for being able to finish something I thought I would not be able to do so. It was an accomplishment unlocked.

The next day, was Safari Zoo run. It was a 6km fun run with my girls, my sister, so we totally have alot of fun at the zoo. it was also the first time I walked a "marathon". Nevertheless, it was a free visit to the zoo and everyone gained something at least at the end of the day.

After the 2XU run this sunday, I am letting my legs rest before I fly off to korea in April and will start my run back again in May - Sundown marathon . I am so excited and I really waited long enough for this trip. I will be away for  a good 8 days. And also looking forward to Bali in July which has been pre-booked already and Hongkong in October for my wedding photoshoot.  This is truly an exciting year and i look forward to every forthcoming month.
