Post 100KM. Post insanity.
I am still alive. And back at work. I am no longer limping from DOMS or the blisters and its healing really fast. And my toenails are all intact. I like the idea of looking ordinary but doing something extraordinary for my own little pleasure.
Somehow the news that I did a 100KM marathon made its way around the office. "Why, Kash? Why did you run the 100KM?" I said I wanted the free t-shirt. "I could have given you a free t-shirt and you don't have to torture yourself. I could give you 10 free t-shirts." I laughed. It's true. Nothing is as insane to a non runner as running a 100KM. Heck, to a runner, even a 100KM is an impossible distance. It was for me too. Until I actually did it.
So. Nothing is impossible. Impossible is Nothing. Adidas was right.

Adidas is right, and expensive too.
But they're right, alright.
oh BTW, I'm really glad you're back :)
Hahah I agree with Julin .. It's nice to hv u back in the blog circle Kash :)
Sapa nak pasang hajat - kena naik Steroid Hill hahahahaha
Congrats for your historic run Kash! Yup, some people dont understand why we want to do the impossible thing. For me, i 'Just Do It' :)
moral of the story :
1) you can get 10 tshirt just by telling your office mate that you're running 100km
2) adidas is always right and expensive
welcome back kash..
so nice to see you again!!! - Agnes
Agnes, how did u know I'm back. thanks for dropping by.
Ijam dah jadi blog commenter yg sangat bermoral... hehehehe...
P/s: Syah, sapa yg paling kerap panjat Steroid Hill of FRIM tu.. berwaspadalah....
I believe many runners enjoy having DOMS. It gives them the sense of 'insane strength' from within.
Itu pasal bila jalan kengkang2 lepas marathon pun masih boleh senyum bangga.
