1st posting for december..

Actually i am rather nervous for tmw stanchart.. Not that i'm gunning for a good timing, cos its pretty obvious i cant get the results last year given the amount of training this time round.. Rather its how to survive through this undoubtedly gruesome race.. For so long i was depending on my sheer willpower to complete the race, last year stanchart, Sundown at May this year, followed by AHM at August, Human Race at October and the Real Run last month.. None can be compared to Stanchart races every year..

Sure, i reckon its because it is in the month of December, especially at a rather sensitive date.. I almost skipped last year's race due to sorrow but thankfully i managed to change that to strength, willpower to finish the race under 6 hours, far beyond my expectations.. This time round, i will need to depend on it more than ever.. Oh wells since this is a 42.195 km run, who knows what will happen along the way..? As in AHM, i started the process of leaving some 'just-in-case' kind of messages at the eve of a race i thought i had trouble running..

"Some may think its unlucky to talk about last words or anything, but i couldnt think of a more crucial timing to other than the eve of a running event, ie marathons or half marathons or even just a 10km fun run.. I dont know if its just me, but i cant help but notice a spike in the number of sudden deaths in recent years, its kinda scary if it really happens near you, and of course for my situation i dont want history to repeat itself again, so yeah...

but then, i dont know what to write either! lol... then maybe instead of talking about this (if it really happens) short life, i would rather talk about thanking all the people who have made an impact in my (again if it really happens) short life...

My family,
My few buddies and good frens that i can die for,
My kindergarden school mates whom i've lost contact with,
My marist frens from primary to secondary,
My CJC 1st 3 months frens,
My SAJC classmates and fitness people,
My BMT Ninja platoon mates,
My 30sce frens,
All my teachers, school and tuition
and last but not least NUS frens from Excalibur and Mario, both freshies and seniors

and of course, , thank you (your name)for magnanimously treated me as a sincere friend and for making an impact on my life

All the way for StanChart Marathon!!"

keep on running, for all the people i cherish in my life
