My third half-marathon

Tuesday, 16 October 2007 | 10:07 am

Notes:
It's Tuesday and the bulk of my muscle soreness is semi-gone. If you click on my category "Running Records" you'll see only two entries for my "training". I actually trained for this half-marathon 4 times in July and twice in August… and uh, that's about it. LOL. It's not a surprise that I did terribly during the race. I barely ran. My average pace was 15:23 minutes/mile and my shoulders were sore again. I really think I have bad posture when running…

Anyway, I'm not discouraged from running just yet. I still want to do more marathons and definitely am working my way to doing triathlons. This is my third half-marathon, and having "failed" my 3rd marathon in June, the most common denominator is: lack of training! LOL. So… I'm really going to train for my next one. Iono which one it'll be but it'll definitely be a race next year… ^_^

Congratulations, Leesa!

A hearty congratulations to Leesa/Lisa for completing her first half-marathon on Sunday! YAY! Congrats to my sis Annelle for finishing her 2nd half-marathon and I suppose I should congratulate myself, as well, for finishing this event! LOL.

Important tip: Never ever try to run 13.1 miles without training or if you're just coming out of an injury and illness! I don't know why I ran it — wait, I know cos I'm cheap and I didn't want to waste what I paid for my registration fee! That and I didn't want to leave my sis to fend for herself.

I got bored while running, btw so took this photo during one of my many walk breaks:

HMS Queen Mary in background

It's some sort of tug boat displaying jets of water and in the backround is the Queen Mary.

My race report will probably be above this post!
