its a race of motivation, endurance and fulfillment

Yipee!

I have raced myself to complete the 10km women's standard chartered run. It's my first attempt and i am quite satisfied myself.
5.30am- wow! woke up with excitement. did a bit of dilly dally stuff and was too excited to talk
6.10am- hopped onto bus 133 and me and my sister was on the way to meet yihui and belinda at city hall mrt
6.40am- once we alighted at the bus stop. many look-alikes were found. all dressed up in the classic marathon tops. like one big family. hah!
6.45am- meet yihui and belinda. kindly put on our tags, adjust our timer at the shoe-laces. was told that if we lost it, got to paid like $50? crazy man!
7.00-7.20am- was going round and round for the baggage deposit area
7.25am- we head for a light breakie and some water to hydrate ourselves
7.50am- we were already lining up for the race. you can imagine the people. But the atmosphere was truly fun and motivating!
8.00am- we are still walking towards the START point as there are a lot of people there, we could not even start to run. Its running at the start point then westarted of jogging. I had my friend, Yihui with me all along. we are quite constant with our speed and it feels great to run with so many people as well!
Fabulous!

The run started and we din stop till like 7km and we stop for a drink.
the location at that time was- Marina South. The place where the Superbowl is or where people usually have their steam-boat and food.
I never imagine myself being able to run that far.
Gosh...
And the rest of the road back was inspirating as well. We did stop for drinks at certain points especially for 100 plus cos all the previous stations were serving mineral water only!!
and at last we reached the 100plus station and guess what? Diluted 100plus.
Just as i threw away my cup and starting running again.
Me and my friend overheard: “ Ee.. Diluted one!’ and we both laughed.
The last 1km was great. Lotsa cheers, noisy shout outs and man i completed in 1hr 30mins. I think the results was satisfing as i am not a frequent runner.
i love it and we collected our medal later and head to a delicious bon-appetite breakfast.


see you next year, standard charter.10km women;s run!
