♥ 11:05 AM
6 Hr 50 Min of torture, 42.195km and the standard chartered marathon is over and I have completed it. To mark our finishing, we each got a medal and a shirt with finisher of 42.195km.
The run started at 5:30 and I managed to run with Liang Ying till 18km and then we started to walk a bit. I went on ahead of him but at around 23KM, my right leg got a serious cramp and I fell down and there was a lump at my calf and it was freaking pain. Luckily someone came to help me stretch my legs and gave me some deep heat muscle rub. After that I pretty much walked all the way with my legs hurting like crazy and every step was painful. At around 200m left, I started to try to run all the way to the finishing and finally it was over.
After the run, we went to grab a bite before going back to rest and take a nice sleep. I developed a fever and quickly took 2 panadols before going to sleep after taking a nice warm shower. I woke up at around 6:15 to go to Li Xuan’s birthday party. I almost did not want to go cause my legs were real bad and travelling there was really slow. My legs cramp like almost every 5 minute of walking and Yi Ting was laughing all the way.
I am going to just relax and rest the whole day with minimal walking and last night I was feeling like shit, I am super cold and my both my legs are painful and it cramp. Thank God this morning it was ok and not cramping though still hurting.
A nice but painful experience
