(5/6/06)-I'm back to writing blogs

I'm now a Finisher of 42.195 km ,that's what the finisher Tee from S'pore Marathon says .

I'm happy with this T-shirt for a number of factors .

BUT , 1stly ,I'm back to writing coz:
1. Anonymous encouraged me ,not sure who he/she is ,TQ
2. It seems I'm an inspiration to ashmatics. ( Hope to continue to be)
3. I'll start recording my training again with a simple daily blog for my record purpose.


3 WEEKS BEFORE MARATHON :Backache due to injury from sit-up at gym ,whereby I was supposed to do the easier sit-up but I was lazy to change the machine from a hard level to an easier level . But still ran with some pain. Did complete Pacesetter 30 km run in 2 hour 54 min .

2 WEEKS BEFORE Marathon : Back OK ,not much trainning coz helped out with children church camp at Genting for 5 days ,can see no altitude trainning but did have altitude living :) !!

4 DAYS before Marathon :Wednesday , 5 times diarhea and fever . Prayed to Jesus for help . The next day fever all gone , no more diarhea . Haleluya !!

Conversation with Justin on the week of Marathon :

Kenny : Justin ,as you know I haven't been trainning hard enough coz of all these events the past few weeks .

Justin : I know , base on all this , you better think of just completing the marathon and not set any target time .

Kenny : I believe I can do it , coz I have ran through an asthma attack and I have ran with aches or something like that . It means I think I have determination and this Marathon will need determination from me again .

Justin : Lets see how it goes on that day .

End of conversation .



3 days to Marathon and day of Marathon :

Some phlegm stucked in chest area , a bit of cough caused by phlegm .


The MARATHON Report :

Came with Ronnie and friends .

Still have phlegm . Coughing every few km to try to spit out phlegm . ( S'pore is a fine city , will they fine me for spitting during a race ? )
Used my heavy new Reebok , ( got it at half price in which ori price was RM450),lots of cushioning . Had to use this cause the other Mizuno no more cushioning and after using Reebok for a few weeks ,got used to the heaviness .

Ate and carbo load a lot on Saturday with the gang till stomach bloated . Couldn't shit out on Saturday and even morning before Marathon . No choice but to run at 1 kg heavier .

Strategy was to run 6 min per km pace and base on my split timings every 10 km , it was adhered to .

10 km mark :59 min 54 sec
21 km mark :2:01:25
30 km : 2:57:03

42.195km :4:09:32

At 30 km mark , hit the wall , meaning , my thighs ache , the right inner part of leg pain. I still went on coz of my target to either get a sub 4 or just a little above .There were some motivators along the way , namely the motivational signboards and cheer leading groups . Rubbed deep heating on my leg a few times . Last 7 km , turn on the power , but being careful not to get cramp . It was superb when reach finish line , coz inspite the pain , I have finish the RACE !!!

Next target : Great Eastern 30 km 2007


Distance : 42.195 km

(1/1/06-New Year Run report)

Firstly , Thanks to Ronnie and gang for organising the run . Very well organised !! Hope he will organise more !!

1st 3 rounds ran fast a bit but not too fast to be in the front .

Next 5 rounds : Paced together with Vincent Tiong and we talked a lot on the run , before you knew it , it was almost finishing !!

Last round : Vincent said he will pia to test his speed , I said I will pia too , we ran neck to neck .

Last 200 m , my calf cramp for 1 sec , I slowed down , Vincent zoom off and in the end he beat me by approx 10 secs.

What I learned from this race :

Its great to run a long distance race with someone and still clock a decent time while talking ( My best time so far for a 21 km was 1 hour 39 min) . I think i will try this tactic again next time .

Average pace per km : 4 min 51 sec per km

Distance : 20.7 km
Duration of work out :1 hour 40 min 42 sec
Location : Lake Garden
