Besides, you've got just under six months to train for it.
I don't want to do a half farked marathon .... in my mind, even if I even walked for a few steps, that won't count .....
the chap tooked 6 hours .... it's obvious there was a lot of walking involved ....

10km, as far as I know, is only for women.
There's a team relay (4 x 10km) if he can find three team mates.
Otherwise, it's just the marathon (42km) and ultramarathon (84km). No half-marathon.
It's not easy for anyone to run 42km without training, that's for sure (and neither it is recommended to chiong a marathon without training). Which is why I pointed out the 5 months ++ he has to train for it.
Hell, I'm gonna train myself for it. Gotta make the most out of these 5 months++.

Well, it's all about how you see it....
To some, running at 4 hrs = half-farked, to others, finishing in 6 hrs by walking = job well done.....
I myself don't have dreams about finishing in a blaze of glory.... odds are, I'll be struck by muscle cramps at the halfway mark. I got those near the end of the AHM when I tried to chiong to the finish line... I ended up half-running, half-hobbling to the finish line.
Which is why I'm gonna train myself good for the next five months.

You're right about the timing and expectations bit. It's really how you view your performance. I had a gal pal kick herself coz she did 3:40 for the SCSM - when her target was 3:30. Man, if it would have been an achievement in itself if I could finish 42km.

it's not about running a good timing ...
a run is a run, a walk is a walk, that's how I see it ... a run = no stops, legs pumping all the way ....
at the new balance run, I drank too much water before the start line, and every step in the last 5 clicks steps was pure agony cos of my full, wobbling bladder, but I elected not to make a pitstop cos I would be "stopping" ....

I can only dream about running right now, until I fully recover from illness.
-
okie .... it's still raining, so no jogging tonight ....
there's still mutton curry downstairs .... and I'm hungry ..............
hmmmmm ............

friend was telling me some of the security at this condo (they're malaysians) were complaining that the new CIQ complex there was built without thought...
a double-decked tour coach went there, and hit the ceiling!
it was stuck there causing absolute chaos

first they'll announce that they'll go ahead regardless of our opinions ....

and the bunch of fat cats kakis will get millions of ringgit doing absolutely, nothing ! .....
