So Alex ran his first marathon of his life. Immediately after the marathon, he said that it’ll be his first and last.

But the next day, he started thinking of signing up for the next one.

Because, you see, he is a challenger, and he wants to beat that timing. Because he believes he would have done better without the huge blister.

Ding finished her 21.5 km, and walked back about 6 km to find me, to finish mine together. Without her, i would not have braved the ascending bridge with the sun and all.

She’s as always, my motivation, my companion to do great things.

And I’m proud to say, I did this first marathon with her. She also woke up at 3am to woke me just in case I can’t wake up, given the pig that I was. I was really nervous the night before, laying everything on the floor before I sleep, so that I dont have to think at all the next morning. And I slept at 11am ( SO EARLY). The items include : my crumpler bag, a change of clothes, toiletries, sports shoes, the blip to be pinned to my shirt, socks, watch, spectacles box, white anti-poverty wrist band, and banana. 😉

For 2010, this is a damn good closing. For my ego, for the doubts about myself, for love.

xo.
