Yeah… This is one of the goals that I wanted to achieve this year and I have successfully completed a full 42km marathon last weekend. This is my first 42km full marathon and I can say that it’s a very tiring one as I have not tried running such a long distance as the longest one I have ran is the 21km Army Half Marathon. This time round I managed to survive running till 19km and my legs already starts to feel the cramp. However, I try to jog and walk along the way till 27km and the rest is pure walking as my legs has maxed up its energy to run already.

Total timing for this marathon is 6:52:58 and I start to appreciate transport vehicle while trying to complete the whole marathon. Starting of the race is simple as you just need to run, however, when you reach the 21km mark, you do not feel like continuing running as your legs will start to feel the ache and cramp. Some people stop their run and give up in the middle of the race while the rest just endure through the whole race. I can say it is an enjoyable run as you get to see Singapore through the journey from early dawn till hot afternoon.

Currently, I am resting myself to recover from the run in order to prepare for my upcoming driving test. One thing I have learned from this marathon is that what you need to do is keep on moving forward and never give up as once you set the end point, you will definitely reach your destination no matter how much pain, ache or obstruction that you need to go through along the journey.
