Today i participated in my first ever 10km run in Koreaaaaaa. I thought i'd never do these runs again. But an opportunity came up and i registered.
The event was called the Ulsan Marathon for Human Rights. Although i didnt see anything displayed wrt human rights.. I expected a display booth for awareness or something, but nada. As usual, after 1km of running i regretted joining the run. Why dont i ever learn from past experiences, i wonder. Furthermore, it was extremely cold today, cloudy and no sun. Urghh the torture!! I didnt even practice and didnt have my carbo load aka rice for dinner last night and didnt have bananas to eat before the run.
Anyway, surprise surprise i actually did a personal best at 67 minutes.. My previous record, at last year's std chtd kl marathon was 80 mins. A big improvement!! Didnt expect that. My kenyan friends all did sub 45 mins. Giloooo.
The craziest and maybe a little sakit hati part is that all these old korean men and women were overtaking me like nobody's business.. Damn these old peeps are fit!!! The only ppl i overtook were kids.. And a couple of young ladies..
No matter, it felt so good after i finished, i guess thats why i keep on doing it ;p
