Glad that you make it.....Originally posted by spencer99:Hi,
I am back from my 30k run + 12.195k WALK-a-jog. Noticed that emphasis on WALK.
I start getting blisters on my feet at the 28-29k mark started on my lleft little toe and then on my right sole. Initially still can ignore the pain and push on. but as the run went on getting more and more painful. I try to compensate from my running stride to take stress off the blisters but that started to ache my knees.... from the 32km mark (END OF ECP) onwards, I basically walking much more then jogging. ... and I walk from the 39km to the 41km point... before resuming my jog to the finish....
Initially wanted to give up because can't run at all, but i found that if I walk fast I am not really so much slower then a slow jog so I fast walk about 2-3km. Basically I didn't hit the wall and I was not really very tired at the finish because I was basically walkin gfor the last 12km.
Finish at 5hrs 23 mins. I considering that this is my first marathon and the bad blisters really affected me I am felt ok. GF finished 1/2 M at 2hr 16 mins went home to shower and change and was there at the finishing point to cheer me on.... pai seh... make her wait so long under the sun.... she asked me why I sweat less then her!!! I told I was bascially taking a walk along the esplanade!
I was overtaken by old men.. weak looking girls.... fat girls.... eg eg...but what the hell, I finished!
According to straits times, Wong Li Lin will be attending the run...if you see her, u r not dreaming.....Originally posted by CSpencer:yay..im so glad i completed my first 10km in 50+min hahaha...
i saw wong li lin if im not wrong...
the water station was my favourite place haa...jog and grab a bottle of water at every 1 of them..
im defintiely going to join it next year...
im thinking of attempting half marathon in the next 2 years..
*cheers* to all..

Congrats to ur first 10km.
Dont need to wait 2 years for half M, just do it next year....built up ur stamina slowly...should not be a problem...
kops21 seriously thinking about Full M next year....hehe...![]()
YAYAYA...i saw her too...Originally posted by spencer99:speaking of chio bus. I saw a girl wearing a blue sports bra with a blue low rise tights.... very sexy..... she run full M. Sad tos ay, she finished before me.
Got another girl... look so fair and weak wearing a cap and run... she run like effortless like that.... just keep going......
I must really train man. and make sure that my feet are ready for the long runs...
As for the bleeding nipples, I took off my top during the marina portion as I felt that nipples are sensitive liao... really no joke....
My gf just said that I looked as if I am going to collapse at the final 100m. ... but she is proud of me...
Unless there is another marathon before hand...i think will be next year this time....dont want to go and run oversea...futhermore not a season runner, dun wan to malu myself.Originally posted by spencer99:U r thinking of next year??? I am just thinking when my blisters and abrasion will heal.... I noticed that training runs of 10k and 15k not suitable for marathon.... sometimes must run 30+km then can... I ran 30km but only twice.
Blisters...don't have them for quite some time leow after knowing where to put paster on them.Originally posted by spencer99:I really felt that I could have done better!!!
I will definitely run again next year. this time I will take better precaution on the blisters!
MY gf said that she was chatted up by a guy while she was running...... Look can already still go and chat girls up! What are they r trying to do?? Anyway she said that later on she overtook him.
The cake-man finished in 6 1/2 hrs... make me so paiseh... only 1 hr behind me! I really need to try again next year.... burst the 3 large blisters last night... now back at work... limping because of knee pain..... Until next year....
The blue girl was initially running with two bare-chested guys.... then at one point she walking alone and I overtook her... then later on there was a guy with a white and black top with her... dont know whether the original two guys or not?? Anyway... looks like she need encouragement to run as they overtook me liao....
Haha.....found my standing at the website...Originally posted by spencer99:The photos and official results are out.... FYI.

But was at the gym doing classes yesterday. Only managed one class instead of two. Felt tired.... and weak. But planning to run This Sunday.
