May the 4th be with you
I took a long break from running after TMBT 2013. I started training for BIM2014 on mid January. Its like learning how to run all over again. I started with 2km and gradually increasing my distance until i can run 10KM comfortably. A month before the race i suffer from shin splints which slow down my training. I didn't have much training compared to last year BIM so i'm not expecting PB, my only focus is to finish the race.

May, 4th 2014 - Race Day
Arrived early at the stadium and do some warm up before the race started.
Pose with Pammie Delores at the starting line wishing each other good luck
My running plan for this year is exactly like last year and I will run with 7'30" pace average. The weather a bit warm so i need to stop at the water station since i didn't any water. The 1st 10KM was alright and as i was running towards UMS i can feel a bit tired. I checked my time at the half way point i was 10mins late than expected. Gradually i pick up my pace and by the time i get out from the UMS loop i have only a little energy left but i keep going. They didn't provide banana at the halfway point like last year instead they give out banana at turning point IP. So i took 4 banana and ate it all, i'm so hungry and take a time walking enjoying my banana. After that i continue running until the 35KM mark i started to walk. The last 7KM more walking than running. Finally i crossed the finish line with a smile at 5hr 14min, 2 min late from my previous FM.
Ooops! I did it again.. :)
