Yes! Today is of course Standard Chartereds
Half marathon day! Its the day me and ren has
been waiting and training ( disgustingly little, i
blame the A levels, and thus the education
system ) for! It was really a nice run :)
though it was really unfortunate that ren's
knee injury prevented us from doing our best.
It was really agonizing, even for me to see ren
struggle with each step. Imagine your every
step killing you... yucks, i'm not even sure if
i can complete the run, especially when we are
half way in the race. so R-E-S-P-E-C-T for ren!

On the way, we saw Henry running past, it
and it really made me feel that i am so...
inadequate' in my passion for the things i
love. Henry who? Its Henry Wanyoike!
the famous blind marathon runner of
course. The ex world champion runner.
How depressing it must to suddenly lose
everything when you have worked so hard
to be at the top of your league. I believe
i can never be like him, pursuing his
passion despite his disabilities. I can't
even imagine being blind. Deaf, mute,
maybe... but blind?

so.. Yeah! I'm happy! proud of running
with Ren, his determination to finish
inspired me greatly :)



Yes today I not only experienced the
half marathon, but also a hidden endurance
test thoughfully provided by the organisers.

PRESENTING... THE....

QUEUE-A-TON.
Yes, this a prestigious event, and it starts this
year.


Look at the 'enthusiastic' participants holding up their tags
in 'joy'


Look at the excitement of the QUEUE-A-TON race!

It look us a whole hour and a half just to finally
get your bags. And even when we were at the
counter, we had to wait for like 15minutes for our
bag. Hello? no wonder the queue was so slow, 15
minutes for a bag? and we were at like only 20m
from the counter to being with. When me and ren
finally got our bags, the queue has increased 5 or 7
folds. God know how long it took them to get
their bags. I pity them at the thought of it. :(

The only compliments was the cute little girl looking
for our bags. haha :D

Hey guess what, the run wasn't really bad, lolx.
While i'm typing this now, i dont feel any aches,
and also right after the race, i didnt really feel
shagged out. haha


Another great day on the whole :D
(to motivate runners, 'Run your Own race' ought to be
change to 'Run For YOur Life' as recommended by the
secretly smart Lucas)

Other then that, this holidays it the most
enjoyable i had up till this point. Everyday
is filled with activities and i get to do all
the stuff i never had the time to really
get to, like visiting vivo city at 10.30pm
or gaming through the whole night without
sleeping.

Although i did waste 2 WHOLE days fixing
my virus infected com ( there were 251
infected files and took 3 different anti
virus software to clear them and lots of
plugging in and out of hardware :(
I'm happy cause i didnt have to reformat
my com and i saved all my files. So the effort
was worth it. Yep!


So much to do so little time!

Lucas Out!
