lets go commando!

lets see... i ran the 10km non-competitive part of AHM. i must say i feel a lot less fit than when i did the full marathon last year - nevertheless, still happy to have completed it. hope i'll still have enough in me to do the full one again this year - which means better start hitting more 10Ks!

you can see from the photo how crowded it was. it was crazy. i wasted more energy weaving in and out, and being slowed down by other runners than actually running itself i think. it didn't help that it was hotter like that, although the rain earlier made the ground cool (and MUDDY. imagine army boots, trudging over the padang = yucks).

at the last lap i had the "honour" or running beside a commando platoon, obviously very proud of their vocation. "let's go commando-O" was ringing in my ears for the rest of the day.

well. so the time - 1 hr 6 mins. not too bad! wonder whether can do just as well for 21km, and whether can finish the marathon this time round!
