Howz the Marathon Running, you say?

Week 13, 3 weeks to Marathon: Long Run 1

Just to update you, I am running 7km in 30 min
everyday at lunchtime at work. On Sunday, I did my long
run at 10km/hr speed. I aimed to go stronger, but the weather
was rainy, cold at 3 deg and I was alone. My pedometer
registerd only 13km on the first lap. I was shattered - My legs gave way half way through.. I was very disappointed as I turned back home and spend quite a few hours that evening sobbing. Physically and mentally, I was drained out.

Turns out that my pedometer is measuring only half the distance (See post for Week 14)!, and the map suggests it was 17km was the distance I covered from Starsbourg to Obernai... I ran there and back - amounting to 34km!!

Hopefully, on the day, the conditions would be better and I shall be with 1000s
others - which I am hoping would help the run. I hope to go
half marathon distance over Easter Weekend. Fingers crossed!

Several friends, family, colleagues have placed immense trust in me and are helping me to raise more money for oxfam's projects (see: beesmarathon writeup) that will help me take on the finish.
