Run Your Own Race @ SCM 2008

The 3rd time running the 42.195km. Was pacing Rachel (hope she is recovering well from all the muscle cramps) had lotsa fun today.



Its definately not your average jog in the park, yet its not something normal people can't do. from my 1st race in 2003 till 2008. the number of participant rise from below 10K up to more than 50K. the sport itself has its charm. What i always like about marathon is that the persistent, courage, determination within each finisher who tries to finish the race. it takes alot of courage to just join and it takes a lot of determination to keep yourself moving forward. Throughout the race temptation from Deep Heat to Shelter/Shades to Bus-stop and sitting down. And the moment you stop moving, you stop the race because it take a lot more effort to bring you out of that comfort zone and back into momentum, hence the persistent you need to press on.

usually the filter zone is 25-35km which this year is at the ECP. that is where all the evil thoughts come in. but once you passed that mark chances are you will be seen at the finishing line.

35-42km i like to call this this the friendly zone, people are friendly and trying to motivate each other.most of the ppl gives & seeks strength and motivation here.

for those who have not ran it give it a try, its definately an experience.
