15 km complete. Finally.

So I completed
the 15km run.
I sound rather nonchalant. Well that's because it didn't go the way I would have liked it to.
The supposed 15km run turned into a 15 km walk/run midway through. The journey was wrought with difficulty. Most of it is because of a bad stomach ache.
I started the run at 4.53am. After the 13th round, I had to stop over to the toilet. That didn't help much. The root cause of the stomach ache was probably because I needed to eject out waste. But it failed to launch. Great.
Throughout the run, there was so much discomfort I thought of just quitting.
But I went on ahead.
At the 31st round, (now that's 12.4km) I felt motivated and thought to myself 7 more rounds to go. That's just like running the final 2.4km. I pressed on.
My stomach keeps giving me problems. I had to stop and walk. The feeling was terrible.
I walked the last 3 rounds.
Damn it!!!
I think this is most probably due to the hot stuff I had for dinner. And that was consumed at about 10pm. I slept at 1130pm.
Well, another lesson learnt. No late dinner and no hot spicy stuff if I am to have running routine the following morning.
It really killed my motivation just now.
Any way. This 15km I'll still put it up on the charts.
I just took a look at the charts. I chalked up 41.3km. That's like a marathon!
Excellent!!
