Officially my recent LSD flagged-off my next journey to another chapter of marathon story. As I was in the juggling mode for the last 2 weeks, mulling over indecisive mind, googling training programs, scheduling 2010 feat & fixtures and performing a father's role, I was so undecided about my next marathon appearance. However, things took a slight turn upon completing my 2010 Sri Hartamas debut, the puzzle seems to move in piece by piece. Insyallah.
Counting backwards from Energizer Night Race 2010, basically I have a tight 12 weeks window to embark into a marathon training. Doable? Hal only provided with an 18 weeks program but Runners'world gave some enlightentment. I can almost see the passage to Energizer plus hopefully they will give us a free headlight as shown in the website la :P
A glance at the program, it seems doable but require the most of commitments and concession is not an option. A closer assessment of it, it gets a bit technical with all those terms about TP, MP, 10% slower than MP etc. Felt like sitting in a physic class. This could be a crazy road trip and a leap of faith into a risky approach. Not many options I have. Within 2 months, I have to cope with more chores since bibik will be returning to the Malay Archepalago. Yes, we've decided to give it a shot at running our own errands. That was when the program peak. May the force be with us. Perhaps, with a few running events coming up in the first quarter, I presumed getting LSD buddies should not be tricky.
It never felt better. Now I'm hyped. Adrenaline's rushing. It seems like there's a purpose for everything. Have a goal to pursue. At the same time, leading to that goal will eventually help me steer a good life. God speed. Amin.
diket - I think I signed up as many races as you but somehow the panic button almost non-existent. I don't have any training program to start with, purely becoz I think I can't afford to have one. Now, I think I'm panic because I am not panic. makes sense?
ReplyDeleteI'm sensing something there but perhaps there's nothing to panic about. It should be more like bizarre feeling...?
ReplyDeletePT virus, both of u have it!
ReplyDeleteP/s: PT = Pelari Tegar
Keh keh keh...
Bro, now everybody is infected with PT bug. Let us change the title of M bug to (M)arathon bug :)
ReplyDeleteDiket, gue pun terkirakira camana lah nasib Energizer, yang date nye jatuh sehari selepas due date wife gue bersalin... jangan nnt gue berlari dalam bilik spital je heheh
ReplyDeletetapi takpa, itu semua ketentuan Allah... jom kite LSD sesama... sound2 lah, tapi rasanya memang ke Bukit Aman lah
No worries bro. Kita train aje. Apa nak jadi lepas tu kita redha. If you have to run 42km inside the labour room, you'll still be the Marathon Father of the year. OK, will update from time to time. Thanks dude.
