Sundown marathon 2009 30 May 09 2359

This is our third full marathon..Though we did not complete it, it was still a very good run. Love, no worries, we still have many more races together.
What's important is that we put in effort in it.

Really admired Ed... Though his leg was giving him prob (he had a past injury) at the 2km mark, we managed to pull it off till 19km... If it was me, I will sure gave it up at the start...

Pre-run..
Whipped up spaghetti for our carbo-loading session...
Ed mentioned that this is one of the few rare instances where I will cook...
Oh ya, the portebello mushroom are super yummy. Love it...


Our fuel for the race...


At the start line.. A pose... wonder why ed tee is black in colour... where most of the others (nearly 99%) are white in colour. But anyway, good is black also.. Harder to get dirty...



Our trace...
1200-0100 7km
01000-0230 14km
0230- 0330 19km

The starting part was super hard as there were just so many people and the air was so still... We were perspiring very bad.. I am a person who hardly perspire but when I started the race, you could see the drops trickling down my face.

At 330am, we decided to stop as I could see that Ed was really in pain.. He wanted to push on but I forbade him to run any more.. Health is still more important.

So we took a cab back and rested for the day. Slept through most of the day away but I am still tired. Wonder why this time when I run, my back is aching.. Maybe I am old le.. =( Sob...
