The Return.. again.. haha..
It had been long since I last wrote sth, excluding the post before EOS.
Today, till now, is quite a tiring yet productive day. I Completed a 15km run (woohoo... *clap clap clap*). Well, even though my finishing time was 1:5031 hours, but I am still happy with it. 1 hour 40 minutes is the qualifying time for a normal 15km run, but I am kinda satisfied with my timing due to a few reasons.
Firstly, the terrain was wavy. Almost half of the run was the Mizuno Wave Run's road*, just that this time we ran in the opposite direction.
Secondly, I thought I didnt really prepare for this run due to lack of training which further gives credits to EOS.
Thirdly, I DIDNT STOP throughout the whole 15km, which is an achievement to me. Haha. I was taught that not stopping during a long distance run is already winning half of the run.
And, I also worked my Secret during the run. During the run, I told myself that I would like to over take a few friends of mine, who usually finishes the race ahead of me. Guess what?? It worked!!
Before the race, I was told that only those who finished within the qualifying time gets a medal. With what happened after I first used the Secret, I thought that I should also ask for a finishers medal. I was a kilometer away from the finishing line when my watch showed that I had ran for 1:40. Even so, I kept on running, telling myself that at least I am proud of myself for not stopping the whole 15k. Again, guess what?? Even though I finished 10 minutes later than the qualifying time, I still got a finishers medal!! Apparently, the qualifying time was just for formality.
All in all, kinda good half a day I had. Haha. More to come for the rest of the day!!
For those who completed the 15km too,

Finishers Medal
*fyi: Mizuno Wave Run was said to be 1 of the hardest run in Malaysia due to the up and down slopes throughout the run. Distance: 10km
