Its Done but Its Not Over

i'm done with the real run! what a drama. i nearly missed it. 2 alarm clocks didn't help at all. i woke up only when i heard an incoming message. and it was 6.30! brushed teeth, washed face, changed my clothes and off i go. no sunblock or whatsoever! took a cab to the place to be fast but of course we got lost 1st. its pretty remote but thankfully i still managed to get there before 7 am. the signal was bad that i couldn't make a call nor send a message out so i was a bit unsure if i'd meet the other 3 but i decided to wait at the bag area and i was pretty happy to see xueni there. met the other 2 then 3 of us went to the start line as raj is doing the 15km.

to be honest, i am disappointed with myself. well i did try to reason with the fact that after back from my trip home i felt sick hence no running *apart from last wednesday* and i couldn't sleep last night. but still i am disappointed. i ran until slightly over km3, stopped for a drink and started walking. i think i walked for about 1km or so but since then i started to switch from walking to running. the trail run was disappointing 'cos its just like running in the park but the sand run was a bit tough. the last 2km is definitely the toughest for everyone as the sun was scorching and we're actually running towards it. i could feel my head getting heavy from the heat that i *again* switch from running to walking. it was bloody hot and i didn't have any protection on me. sigh

anyway one off the to-do list and i have to start preparing myself for the standchart run, at least i have to improve my own timing, eh. saw raj passed me by twice earlier - during the 1st 3km and at the last 2km. and he's doing the 15km which started 15mins later than us! and to think i had more food than him during our early lunch just now is such an embarrassment.

thought of spending the rest of the day in bed or simply relaxing? i can only dream about hat. got another run to do - hari raya visiting. i have run out of excuse to delay this and since my cousin is going back to dubai in 2 days time, i guess it's just right to do it now. ciao...
