Respect.<br /><br />Now that you have done the all 3 race distances of the Singapore Marathon, how about doing a marathon in other parts of SEA? <br /><br />The deaf one did mention that she was interested in one in Siem Reap.

So great to know that you've done the 42 km marathon and other distance marathons! :)<br /><br />I wonder whether I can even walk for 42 km non-stop in a day, hehehe. 2 years ago, I did a morning walk in a walking track park for 6 km in an hour every Sunday for several months. I totally love it but too bad, it stopped because the difficulty to reach the place :( I tried to walk around my neighborhood but it's totally different with all the distractions especially since my neighborhood is got so many traffics and very bad pavement to walk. <br /><br />Ah.. I still remember the feeling and sensation in my legs after the long walks :) Some curiosity... When you run marathon, can you feel the release of endorphin rush in you? How many hours does it take to run 42 km? How do you overcome the boring feeling when you are running? Just by listening to your mp3?<br /><br />Let's cross our finger that 2012 will be a great year and not as scary or bad as what people have predicted,ya.. ;)Selbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928176267795475683noreply@blogger.com
