I Completed Half Marathon PBIM2014

| My Half Marathon Medal, yeah!! |
I completed my 1st Half Marathon medal in my life! yesterday!!.
21KM seems so short for me actually unlike the 1st time I attempted
before when I was much younger and un-prepared at all. That time ended
badly as I could not really walk after the marathon and without a medal
to show.
Last year, I just got my 10Km medal.So consider big improvement right? :D
I was chased by dog and that dog is called PERSISTENCE. Dogged by PERSISTENCE. Pun intended.
So this year, I fulfill
my goal, even though my time is nothing to brag about. But at least I
got the medal. My left leg cramped and jam up as I reached about ~1km
from the finishing line. I was nervous that I could not completed in
time, so i tried walking as fast as I could.
Even after the race, my
leg fortunately did not felt pain as much as I had last time. I could
still walk as per normal! Maybe that was my constant on-off running
throughout the year?! I was mildly sick for long periods during
September & October, so could not do much running.
So next year Full Marathon?!
The answer is NO. The reason is that the girl that I admire only do Half Marathon. And after the marathon, my
leg did not ache yesterday but my heart was aching with disappointment
because I did not have a chance to take a photo with her with the
medal.
She left before I
could search and found her because the line (phone & internet) was
so bad. I only do Half Marathon solely for this opportunity. (if it were
my old self, I rather go to sleep (waking in the midnight to run is
....) as I since a kid is more an academician rather than a doing
physical sport/activities).
