since i might never ever qualify for boston, chicago is the one thing i HAVE to do before i die. stockholm and honolulu, because i've heard so much about the beautiful views along the courses. nairobi too, just because. can you imagine how cool it would be to say 'oh i ran a marathon in kenya last year'? kenya. mmmm. its where the greatest marathoners come from and most importantly, -Cheruiyot- IS KENYAN. you never know i might get to meet him while running the nairobi marathon. coool. and it's been so long since i idolized someone .. i feel like a teenager all over again.
movie marathon yesterday to celebrate the joy of achieving the feat of cutting 1400 words from my already-very-condensed maritime law paper. but now i'm in a mild state of panic because admiralty is less than 1/4 done, lets not even talk about conflicts, and i only have what .. 2 weeks! which explains why i forced myself out of bed at 930 am on a sunday morning to DO WORK despite having got home at 2am the night before.
i'm ashamed that twice last week i used the haze as an excuse to cut short / miss my run. where has all my determination gone?
every single step hurts. i'm not kidding. and i'm not even gonna think about what it'd be like trying to walk down a flight of stairs. ARGH.
i am writing to announce that i have completed my first ever 25k run. and through the course of it i have 1) ingested copious amounts of noxious gases from huge trucks and such, either carrying 20 metre long steel pipes or 20 foot tall Maersk containers, all whizzing past me along the West Coast Highway with less than 1m to spare, 2) almost gotten chased by a stray dog near the factories, 3) gotten stared at by a bangla and whistled at by a bunch of malay guys, 4) seen manymany sports cars rounding the bends (towards me!) on the infamous 13-bend road at dangerously high speeds 5) almost gotten hit by a stray soccer ball at the track (again!). but i survived, though i'm not sure if my legs will. we shall see tomorrow i guess. and for the first time, a shred of self-doubt is creeping into me. if this is what a mere 25k has done to me, i'm positively sure i can't run 42.195 km, at least not without feeling like i am going to die. and that is not a very pleasant feeling.
i'm going to yunnan in december!
