washiku wrote:Naaaa....did akina ZZE123, McReggae, Euge, Mo, Gekko etc survive the challenge? They haven't been seen around here after marathon... hey guys, congrats to the club 42, that's a feat!! I survived 21, had aimed to stop the clock under 2 and was working fine until the last mile. i came down the NIC hill full speed aiming for the gates only to realise that there was an extra loop to the roundabout and back, that part was a mental torture! i just took water and walked-run-walked and stopped at 2.09 Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

The same stretch did me in last year, it's the toughest part of finishing the half marathon!!!....@masukuma, did you manage sub 3hrs? ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

I see people coming down the other way to check into the stadium, and I think....just a few metres...Ole! Kumbe there is the corner and dropping to Msa road and back up, my psyche got smashed up like a cheap glass...-hauling ass to the finish line from that point was great torture  All the same, good run. @ Quicksand. Running shouldn't be experienced as 'torture'. you shud actually enjoy running! congrats!

I could have done much better considering I did my last 2kms in 10:44mins per km and 8:40 mins per km respectively. I think my 13km run on monday last week malizad me... I could have done better but isorite... happy I run the race. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Tarmac is a killer! @quicksand true running on tarmac has great effect on feet magoti na other joints. you must have good sports shoes(nice sole) to absorb the shock. running on rugged terrain,treadmill,track,tarmac are all different Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!

I am told there is need to consider the shape of one's foot when buying. Are there shoes advisors? Lord, thank you!
