42.195..........again

i was a little worried at first because this time i really didn't prepare enough. thanks to hK, i did two long runs and that's about it, the rest are moslty 30 to 45min runs, unlike the previous time when hL was around. both she and her cousin were very disciplined runners. on many sunday mornings we woke up early and ran along ECP. and of course, i benefitted from that, a lot.

today's weather was superb. it wasn't sunny even when i crossed the finish line. the clock read 4'45 when i finished, so chip time should be a minute or two lesser. this is my best time so far, so i'm rather pleased.

i just ran and ran today. slowly running from a drink station to the next, from a distance marker to the next, counting down the KMs and counting my blessings. perhaps because i did not have too much expectation, i was running with much ease.

i drank at EVERY drink stop, ate 2 bananas, one packet of power gel and some raisins. those 2 girls were lovely. they stationed themselves somewhere before bedok jetty and were shouting "raisins! raisins!". i took a handful and munched, and smiled. it's really nice to be nice.
