Ok... wanted to blog about this quite some time ago, but dun have the time.
Ran 10km marathon last last sunday (24th Jul 10). Was so accomplished when i finally finished that i LOL to myself... HOHO!
Sometimes, ppl use the metaphor, life is like a marathon. Only until i have done one(ok, well, 10km is not exactly amarathon but it is alr a marathon to me) ,then i realised what it really meant...
In the marathon, u feel inspired to run, esp during the first 2km, i dun feel tired at all although i am running all the while. Usu if i were to just go for a jog, i will feel tired when i have only ran like 200m... I suppose it is because of all the people that are running in pace with you, that you dun feel tired at all, as thou the run is some leisurely walk...
during the marathon, there is always a need to rmb that you are there to beat yourself, not to compete (well, unless u are those pro runner, but i am just a leisure 10km fun runner). So although some runners may surpass me, there is no need to pressurise myself to keep in pace with them. Also, there may be some runners who started walking, but dun give in to the temptation. rmb that you are there to beat yourself, and if you know you can continue to run, dun walk.
Marathon is like life, in the big picture, you will just go with the flow, like how everyone run tgt in the same race. You may meet different ppl in life, some are highly competitive, some are laid back. Although generally, you go with the flow, but still, stay true to yourself. dun be pressurised such that you strained yourself, yet, dun be tempted to perform lesser than what you are capable of. Turn pressure to motivation, turn temptation to consolation.
i love to run. And 10km run is definitely fun... gg for great eastern run (haven't sign up yet cos no time, early bird registration ends 9 Aug)... Shall tone myself up for longer run! but now, 10km is just right for me, someone who dun train for her run... opps!
