The Walk

While most people were probably spending their Saturday night shopping, catching a movie, maybe even clubbing and collecting bottle caps, there I was doing the insane taking part in a 12 hour walk even in Putrajaya that started from 8pm to 8am the next morning.

It was my first ever walk event and though many may find walking to be a breeze, let me tell you otherwise. It was an extremely difficult event to complete and even then I decided to walk an entire marathon distance of 42.195km in a time of 7 hours and 18 minutes and call it quits seeing as how I already qualified for a medal a ways back.

By the end of the event, I was in horrible pain and decided that this would be my first and last walk event. I'll go back to running, which is so much easier. But overall I'm glad to have even done that much distance. A full report on the walk can be found here.

My well deserved, hard earned medal ...
