I am having terrible nightmares about my first marathon. Sigh. I'm so unprepared its not funny really. Its less than a month away and my body is so out of shape. I did the Dow Live Earth run for water yesterday, and I clocked a 47:29 mins for a 6 km distance.
Although I finished the run, it wasn't a satisfying run. You know what I mean, like how the body feels after and during the run. Seriously, and it was only 6 km. I don't know if it was because I wasn't that accustomed to running during daytime, but I felt totally breathless into my 3rd km.
I know. Not a timing to be proud of. Sigh. How the hell am I going do 42km?! I'm trying to cramp my training into the remaining 1 month that I have. I know its probably not the most recommended training schedule ever, but heck, I'm just training to finish it within the 9 hours time limit.
So, feeling absolutely bored at work on a dreadful Monday, I spent 10 minutes "planning" my last minute training, or rather, attempt at training for MY FIRST FULL MARATHON, starting tonight. Which goes something like this:
Schedule for April
Schedule for May (All the way to the actual day of race)
Notice the yellow highlighted dates? Yes, I'm actually scheduling to be travelling around a couple of cities for an event I'm planning for a client. So, if all goes well, I'm actually to run all those kilometers (gulp) in between flying in and out of the country.
It's not listed here, but less than 3 days after the day of the marathon, I have in place another event at Bangkok, and then I have a church camp scheduled on that very weekend to Malacca. Seriously, how am I going to manage all that, only God knows. I need all your prayers!
P/s: While you are praying, please also pray not only for me to complete the dreadful 26 miles, but also in "style", and by that I mean, on twos, not on fours (tho push comes to shove, if need be, I will do it if I have to).
Oh wells. Laters. Now time for my 8km 6km (didn't manage to do 8!! arrghh) run.
42km. What was I thinking man?
