the pain in my knee and ankle is killing me now!yesterday just went through a tough and excrutiating run... Standard Chartered full marathon of 42.195kmthe course had a loop around marina bay, then we head down to ECP and back to Padang.it was a damn cold day. actually it has been cold for these few daysand im down with flu for the past few days too.just hours b4 the run, i was still awake cos of the flu.got up and took cold relief. den i went for the run.was not really feeling well. felt like throwing up initially, esp in the early morning when the air is super cold.poor xiaoting was slowed down by mein the end, i pass my chip to qianyi and she ran for me, while i con't to walk for the rest of the journeywas really hoping i can recover to runbut my knee was just not working out for metried to ask for spray and some rubs along the waybut bcos i was so far behind, they had ran out of it. dammiti had to endure the pain all the way until the last 14km then they provide the spray!at the last 10km, i caught up with gekling. she said that she felt giddy and her toe was bleeding.the nurse told her her giddiness was because she had an early breakfast and didn't consume other food until then. but in the end, she was sent back to the medical camp cos her bleeding toe was in need of immediate treatmentafter i saw her off, i con't walking. haha.i walked until the last 4km when the officials said becos the road is opening up, they had no choice but to send us to somewhere near esplanade where we'll drop off the complete the race.was really tired by then and i feel like falling aslp in the car. haha.then finally reached esplanade. the getting down part is the worst!!!couldn't even stand properly. omg.but its only left 400m to go so i just bear with the pain and walk the last 400m to the finishing point.it was a relief when i cross the line. dammit. it was such a long journey...going back home was another problem. haha. cos i changed to my slippers and there was no support so the pain was getting worseim literally crawling to the mrt stationthen the exit of the tampines mrt station was made into a slope for ease of the handicap. but it was really painful for methen getting up on the bus was another challenge.the step was so high and it was so pain for me to climb up the steps.hahaha. all the ppl were staring at me but i couldn't care less.all i want is to get back home asap.going to see the doc now to get some painkillers. after resting for 1 night, the pain is getting worse.i cant even bend my knee!hope i'll recover soon enough...
