The countdown

ARGH!!!I checked out Standard Chartered Marathon Website and the countdown timer reads: 006 days, 4hrs 8mins 50secs when the page loaded!! Oh my goodness! I can't believe come next Sunday, I will be running my first 21km or half marathon. My Sports Trainer colleague asked me how I felt on Friday - I told him my legs feel wobbly. I don't know how to describe the emotions that is running through my head at this moment. I heeded his advice and tried not to go for distance. In fact, I'm amazed at myself to see how far I can go without feeling tired. I did a 5km run with slopes and I was surprised I did not find myself panting. (My dog nearly "died" though! Hee!). Credit goes to my Sports Trainer colleague for training me up so well!

Hmm, I reckon the run on 7 Dec will be my last run for the year 2008. I will probably start running again in January - trying to arrange for a running session with some of the girls from my CG. To run or not to run the full marathon - that is my question?! Till then, I can only scream and exclaim, "AARRGGHH!! Freakadilly!" And carbo-loading begins this week!

PS: Soph, we will cross the finishing line together on race day! We can do it!!!
