This is the first time that I joined two marathons back-to back. After running for 6km on Saturday, I ran for another 10km on the next day. Some might think that it’s a bit too excessive or that I’m crazy to wake up so early on both weekend just to run. Who does that???
I do. I don’t really know why but running does give me joy. The feel of completing the whole thing, the feel of the heart beating, the feel of sweats pouring out from you, making you feel like being ‘cleansed’, if there’s such a thing. (though your leg will hate you for this)
GPS Marathon was organised for charity while for the Fit Malaysia run, the registration is free because it was organised by Kementerian Belia dan Sukan. Performance wise, I did poorly for the GPS run as I didn’t expect to reach 40min mark for 6km distance. I was hoping to finish it within 35min but my fitness level wasn’t good enough. But for the next day, I was satisfied that I didn’t exceed the 1h and 15 min mark. I thought that I will perform poorly for this run as well because my legs were already in pain due to the GPS run. Maybe the charity run actually helps to start the engine inside me.
And this would mark the end of the marathon for this year. Looking forward to next year. =D
