Went for RML (Run for my lunch) run at ECP this morning, organised by ngee ann poly. haha its was "abt 6.4 km". i would say that this event is qt enjoyable overall, as there are not too many ppl running that would make it flooded and not so smooth. perhaps its becos we were in the 6.4 km run (WHICH IS THE LONGEST DIST LOL) and when running back i saw that most ppl just started, i presume its like the 3km run or something liddat? not qt sure. haha it was cool to see kids there as well, there was a 1.4km kids run.

anw, i felt that this run had a few dians which is worth just mentioning here (since i kind of refuse to do my tutorial which is likely to make my LG again and again), first of all its the "INSTRUCTOR". hahaha she was a female instructor that led of for the warm up and i can only say that SHE IS OVER HIGH LA! lol, super zi high on the stage like doing aerobics, and we actually werent exactly sure of wad to do. haha just look and copy a bit. hard to follow throughout la.

The next dian is that it was qt a tough run. haha altho i still do run sometimes, like once a week or twice, i usually do it at my own slow pace and feel cui v fast, so it has been really some time since i really ran. i wanted to give up many times, ahha but i just kept going and luckily managed to do so. i recall when i was in BMT, at the start when running was new to me essentially, i had to keep my brain occupied with thoughts to keep me going. ahha jc was really an inspiring time for me, esp those days as a councillor. and of cos some ppl and events that i was able to use to tide me through the long runs. anws, in the end my timing (self-timed) was about just under 33 minutes 40 secs. which is very satisfactory for me =DD

sad isnt it, i felt, that my standard drop so much. hahaa two years ago it would have been easy peasy. woots. always i tell myself to run more to train up but its always easier said than done. perhaps signing up for such "short" runs is a good way to keep it going. (tbc later on)

another dian is that after the run there is SWENSENS ice cream. FREE. lolll it was qt weird actually to be eating ice cream after a run, perhaps more of a way to reward the kids or for those from ngee ann who just dropped by to enjoy the day and walk the run.

After that we went to Novena to collect our race pack for next week's run, haha another one. @ zoo! and we signed up for ANOTHER north east run which is at pasir ris in march. and there is also another passion run which we signed up for earlier this month which will be held in may. hahaha MENG RUN!
