My first ever long run for 2008 and the longest run ive ever done in my entire life...My first ever 20km run. Although id rather say it was more of a run + walk + crawl + mengesot.. but hey I managed to finish the whole 20km course.
The route was Bukit Aman through Kg. Tunku to Masjid Jalan Duta, passing by Plaza Damas until the Petronas station and back through the same route.
Never did i ever imagine i would walk through those roads, or pass by Jalan Duta on foot! but theres always a first time for everything..
Unfortunately no running stats, since being the "doink" that i am I forgot to change the settings on the Garmin to "running" so it was on "biking" mode all 9km's of the course. ( did a short 14.9km cycle on Saturday.. MHM ran while i cycled..).. (patutla bila aku duk glance at the screen it kept on showing 6/km.. and i was thinking.. "lajunyer aku lari kali nih.." since normally my average running pace is 8.5/km.. sekali tengok balik betul betul.. rupanya 6/kh daaaa... 6km per hour. baru aku sedar the garmin was on biking settings)..
Definitely this course is way harder than the one i did in Putrajaya since I was already struggling the first 4km of this run compared to the Putrajaya run. By the time i got to the Masjid Wilayah, i was already starting to walk up the hills.. Tak larat dah aku nak lari.. I only ran when we went downhill. and by the 15km mark i just walked. Seriously I just couldnt force myself to run anymore because i know if i did, i wouldnt have the strength to finish the rest of the 5km, which was still quite a long way to go. By the end of the run, my ankles were hurting, pinggang pon sakit, bums pon dah sore (i wonder why?)..
Anyway taubat sekejap from doing any long runs after this. For now i think ill brush up on my 10km runs or maybe even attempt a 15km run before i do another 20km one. Itupun entah bila la aku nak buat my next 10K.. hehe. (Amazing A... Super J?? :-p)
Many thanks to Amazing A and Coach Bink for their support, guidance and menjadi peneman jalan.. hehe.. and also J for her uplifting SMS's! Nanti dah habis GE run.. ajak la aku buat 10k lagi eh? :)
