Marathon 8

Never knew my knees could hurt so bad... the marathon that I had just completed took place on a fabulous Sunday, with a wonderful weather that should have given the runners advantage over previous runs... but the body is weak.

I ended up walking much of the last 15 km, but better to have my knees intact. :-)

A quick flashback ...
1. Mobil Marathon 1999 5hr 48 min
2. ExxonMobil Marathon 2001 4hr 33 min
3. StanChart Marathon 2003 5hr 00 min
4. StanChart Marathon 2004 5hr 22 min
5. StanChart Marathon 2005 4hr 47 min
6. StanChart Marathon 2006 4hr 50 min
7. StanChart Marathon 2007 4hr 32 min

and today's timing is about 4 hr 53 min (give and take 1min)

I guess having only trained up to 1.5 hrs is really insufficient to prepare for the marathon, and I better buck up next year!
