That Which Doesn't Kill Us Only Makes Us Stronger

It's been approximately 3 days after the Standard Chartered KL Marathon. The results for the run has been released and I got number 271 for the 21km Men Open category. I have to say that I'm pretty satisfied with the results, having finished running 21km in 02:03:11.06. But my comments about the run : "Why does the run feel like it's not going to end? It's really really FAR!!". The run really almost killed me because of its length. I feel damn lucky that I didn't sign up for the full marathon. Otherwise, I would've died on the spot XD

If you ask me about how I feel about the run, all I can say is that there are very many good runners around. For the first time have I seen so many people who are able to run as fast as I can, if not faster and for as long as I can, if not longer. Having said that, I'm totally impressed by some 'apeks' ('apeks' means middle-aged or senior men) who can run faster than I can. I'm totally humbled by their performance. Too bad I didn't manage to get a photograph of the 'apeks' running past me. Otherwise, I can show you how damn good those 'apeks' really are. You'll be shocked at how fast they are running.

With Spiderman :P

After the 21km run, I have to say that I was freaking exhausted. I sustained knee joint pains, muscular pains and minor foot injury. Now, less than 72 hours after finishing the run, I've overcome the joint pains. Only my thigh is slightly hurting from the muscular strain. Not to mention, I'm actually able to run 4 laps at the MMU track. Not the best that I could do but I think it's all right considering my fatigued legs.
