more than you can imagine

In the name of training for the longer distance for a full marathon, I signed up for the passion run again this year as this year, they have a 25km category. ( Friend who asked me to join didn't run today cuz she'd a wedding dinner to attend to...but then again, we were doing different categories..)

Didn't really train much for it, except for the weekly routines that was set by e. Not to mention the bad knee pain that's bothering me for weeks due to just one full day in that pair of heels.. :(

Fact that I'd the runs (tummy runs, not the legs), a couple of hours before the race at 4pm didn't help..  fortunately, i did the preparation for things to be brought the night before..else helter skelter...:o

 

I sort of regreted my heroine act of signing up for the max distance instead of 10km after passing by the 10km marker, and realising there was yet another 15km to go.. Nonetheless, I managed to finish the whole leg, admist nagging knee pain at 20km mark.. Thanks to the hyper cheering students who were edging all on.. one group of them even did a 'kallang wave' - like cheerleaders... lol and at the last 500m.. there were two toddlers at the side shouting.. 'jia you' in their cutie voice.. (aw.. )

Was on my way to the baggage counter after collecting the finisher's tee when I saw a couple of queues forming outside some of the booths.. Games - not interested.. saw another queue outside a photo-taking booth, with a photographer taking pix of you next to a board stating your targeted vs actual timing. then they will print out the pix on the spot using the canon selphy photo printer. Thought was something memorable. Since i was alone, no harm done.. realised it was not polariod but sticker (somewhat like neoprints).

 The finisher tee's design is not too bad.. kinda like the caption.. 25km done.. :)

the tee is from bodnits, and is actually rather roomy..hence, glad that i'd opted for the smallest size (which is still very roomy) cuz the guys in queue for the satay beehoon were wearing the tees and it was rather snug for one of them - uhm..but not in the bad way :) Alright, satay beehoon ain't exactly a healthy choice, but since dad was picking me up from the food centre and i'd not eaten this in ages, decided on this indulgence for dinner (afterall, i'd just ran uber long distance...) Queued for approx 35min but then it's rather typical, and it's worth the wait.  <3 its satay sauce.. :)

that was before being informed that the training for next week would be determined by this week's foodlog.. gosh oh well..whatever. :)
