What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?
Is This Counted?
Well .. I'm not sure if It's counted as goal #14 complete or not .. but I ran for charity today...
"The marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometers (26 miles 385 yards) that is usually run as a road race." quote Wikipedia code word Marathon.
See .. Fitness First (the gym) had this launch thing after their renovation ... and they had / are having tonnes of activities this week ... and one of em .. was a Charity Run ...
BUT! it was held .. IN the gym ... ON the treadmill!
between 10 am - 10 pm Personal Trainers & Members of Fitness First Summit KL participated in this charity run..
they put aside One Treadmill ... and every participant who signed up ... ran on that treadmill... for 30 minutes each ... unless u signed up for an extra slot .. or two .. then you'd run longer .. but bottom line = Each slot 30 minutes!
so I signed up for the 5.00 pm - 5.30 pm slot yesterday and my sister did the same for the 5.30 pm - 6.00 pm slot...
when I stepped on to the treadmill ... The timer said 7h00 ... so i was like .. damn .. that long already?! (we weren't supposed to stop the machine .. just hit the pause button for the next person to get on ...) and so i began my run .. speed: 9.5km/h gradient:4.5 .... it felt good .. i did reduce my speed every once and awhile .. just so i could catch my breath but i kept going back to 9.5 and i was pretty proud of myself ...
anyhow .. i was supposed to get off the treadmill at 7h30 but I just kept running .. and told my sister I'd take her slot for her .. (see my sister injured her ankle 2 weeks ago .. and it's not completely healed yet .. so i was a lil worried ..) ... SO i ran until 8h00 .. and that was like .. pretty cool .. cause i had never seen the treadmill .... any treadmill I have used go over 20.00 (minutes) ...
What made the whole experience even better was the fact that WHILE i was running .. random people came up to the box placed in front of the treadmill .. and dropped money in for the WISH charity foundation! ... so it felt REALLLLY awesome ...
help me out here ..
tell me .. do you think this counts?
can i cross off goal #14?
