I've conquered 15km!!
Hurray! Never thought I could do 15km, until I tried it today. Now I can say "15km? Been there, done that.." hahaha.. opps, was that a wee bit yaya? =P
I was really nervous before the run cos I haven't been training at all.. apart from my regular twice a week netball sessions. But netball is short-distance, high-speed, high-impact, sudden bursts of speed.. Quite different from a well-paced, endurance marathon of 15km. I think I took slightly more than 2 hours to complete it.. quite lousy huh~
I also pretty glad & surprised that my knees didn't give up on me halfway through the run. Well, they did hurt a bit.. but they still lasted me through a badminton session in the afternoon. heh heh.. I know, I know.. I should show them mercy & let them rest.. that's why I'm not going to netball training tomorrow (if there is any). Resting them for Tuesday's match..
Judging from today's experience, I don't think I'll have much problem completing next Saturday's run - 10.5km Adidas Sundown Marathon Team Challenge. And I have decided to sign up for the Army Half Marathon (21km) in August.. Jia You!
Things change, so do we. We grow up.
