Highlight of the Year

This is wat it's all about. All the training, all the sweat, all the pain culminated in 42.195 km of pure agony and ecstasy.

Ran my first marathon today. Guess I have lots of thoughts about it, but maybe I'll pen them another day. Not in the right state of mind to think coherently now.

For now, here's just some photos from race day.

My brother Joe. Between us we ran 1.5 marathons today.

Hucks, Rob and me before the race. I'm not sulky, just focusing on the race. Yeah right...

Hucks and me post-race.

Our official photographer for the event - Angel. She ran her 10K despite a bruised knee. Power leh!!

Saw some familiar faces also.


The results of the marathon. Giant blisters and an "orh cheh" (blue black) little toe. How on earth did I get that?!?!


Ouch... But it was definitely worth the feeling of elation upon crossing the finishing line.
