Upcoming

"Once you're beaten mentally, you might was well not even go to the starting line."
-Todd Williams


This post may be a little bit expired as it is way after the run. Though the SCSM 08 wouldn't make it as one of the better runs in my life, the post-run activities certainly were. Developed cramps at the 25km mark and then from then on, it was just walk-run. But I managed to cross the finish line anyway. Though I've crossed a number of finish lines before, the feeling to have completed every run is different. The excitement, the feeling of ultimate satisfaction.

The massage, a few days after the run was therapeutic and great to say the least.
Now, the achings are gone but I'm not gonna be back hitting the roads anytime soon. Taking a break from running till I come back from my short vacation to Indon. As for now, gonna get a few things lined up for next week before I leave. Alot of needs and wants before 2009 knocks in.
