I feel a sense of achievement, I am so proud of myself. I completed my longest run ever, 10km. Previously, my longest distance was only 7+ km. So I am quite surprised that I actually managed to complete the run without stopping.
Got up at 4.30am and ate breakfast then my senior who is also running fetched me there after that. We reached at about 6am. My earliest run ever too! So did some warm-ups, and waited for 7am to come.
7am: Race starts
1st km: Left side Stitch occurs, started off real slowly. 2nd km: Managed to run off stitch, getting into jogging pace 3-5km: The best part of the run, shady trees, warm-up run finish, muscles working at optinum condition but right side stitch occur at 4km mark. Turning point(5km): Still able to go, but thinking of going back makes me feel sian 6km: Starting to feel tired, stitch never goes off, trying hard to prevent it from worsening 7km: Thinking of stopping, but determination to complete my longest race without stopping took me further 8km: No longer feel like stopping, numbness took over me, mind over body. Now running in the roads between the tall builings of the city centre. 9km: Didn't really see the 9km mark though, but I know finishing line was nearing. 9.95km: Dash for finishing line! 10km: Finish!!! Felt like vomitting the 1st 2steps after finishing, but was ok after that. My stitch still presents, but was lucky it didn't worsen.
Sense of achievement, unbelievable took over me. I managed to complete 10km!=) Sleep was next! Fancy getting up at 4.30!lolz..
