Lap Time: 3.5km in 20mins

I have always toyed with the idea of trying out a full marathon of certain pedigree; i.e. the Penang Bridge Marathon (another reason for a vacation up north), held annually in mid-June. Coincidentally, I’ll be in Penang by then, to attend an old buddy’s wedding on the 24^th. Checking out the details of the marathon, is enough to make me chicken out. 22.3km for a HALF-marathon. Full marathon? I doubt if i can get anywhere close to finishing the 42.195km, before the bridge opens up for traffic. Sounds like a mammoth task to me.

So far, my cardio workouts have always been limited sub-6km in 40 mins sessions, max. On stationary treadmills. Perhaps I should go out to get some fresh air & find a running partner. And start by setting my sights on a less ambitious marathon conquest…

Back to the Sweatroom
Finally, successfully got myself back to the gym after a 1/2 hiatus. Back to the basics, got a cardio kickstart - done a 5km jog in 1/2 hour; still pathetic by any marathon's status, but i'm just getting started. Never felt better =)
