I've decided to turn up for SCKLM marathon event regardless of what's going to happen. At the very least I will be there to support my friend - CP, who is going to run his maiden full marathon.
So far I'm confident of running at least 10km with a very slow pace. If fortunate I might be able to last 15km or 20km. If I manage to get to 25km mark then I will likely to walk the remaining 17km. BHAG... My Big Hairy Audacious Goal. Hehe :)
This is definitely not a glamorous way of finishing the 1st marathon but who cares..
Meantime I need to find a cap or maybe a hat with umbrella on it to shield myself from the extremely heat from 9am - 12am on the race day. I have calculated it will takes between 6.5 hours to 7 hours for me to finish. All preparation must gear towards heat management... unless it rains..
Other than that I need to bring my knee protector, sloan cream, emergency numbers and other medical supplies just in case..
May the force be with me on the race day...
My friend, please take it easy. There is no right or wrong or even glamorous way to complete any marathon. It will be an experience & personal achievement to complete one. Your determination and will power is what I admire. Just remember not to overdo it. Take it easy.
