Booking my accomodation in Singapore for my maiden marathon makes me realised that i have about 9 days 10 hours 17 min 52 secs before the actual event (well...not counting it exactly). I tend not to think too much whether i am all set for the run because i know i am not fully prepared nor i have any proper technique or strategy to complete it. My plan is just run....run and run. Thats the plan for now.
Looking at the route, through the webpage for Singapore Marathon makes me freak out a bit as it seems like the route is FOREVER. Don't really have an answer why i am doing it but i just am. Period. No real reason needed and i am glad that NSAB will be with me, RitchieR and the Gang and so is ChanC. You guys are going to wait for me at the finishing line rite? I think, that will provide me a bit of a mental boost to keep me on going and not give up.
Months ago, i would have thought completing a half marathon is crazy let alone a marathon. After few 21Ks and couple of competition for the last 7 months, not only i realise it is possible but they are nowhere near what human body is capable of. It is only in your mind. I want to be prepared for such mental questions like why am i torturing myself, why am i doing this? Don't really know the exact answer but i get a GREAT buzz from the release of endorphins after a good run, some sense of accomplishment and satisfaction within myself that is kindda difficult to explain.
It might not be a big deal to some people i am sure but it means a lot to me to do this. Here i come Singapore. I'm stoked already.

No kidding!! If u check the route, it takes almost 10mins to cover the entire route; this is with me running my fingers on the keyboard. I can't imagine running that distance.. but I guess MBA can. he will and he shall. Gods Speed...

Thanks PO and NSAB. I hope i will be able to complete it...not sure about the speed and timing though.
