my first 10km run! whoo~

i completed the run without stopping! YAY! that's an achievement okay, at least for me! didnt think i could RUN throughout the race, except for water points though. :))) i'm so proud of myself lah, heh! i think i took about 1h 25min or so, not too bad a timing cuz i was targeting 2hours (and below)! so i guess i'm really quite satisfied with my run on sunday. :D

great thanks to kooey and jancy who ran with me throughout the run :) i've made 2 new friends!!! i think, without them, i'd really not have the motivation to keep going and will probably take 2 hours to complete the race :X the nice thing was that we were all trying to keep pace with one another and were looking out to see if any of us was lagging behind. the point of joining such runs (for non-competitors) is really to complete it, not the timing, not the plaving. it goes beyond that, it's the process of running, you've really got to enjoy it, with your friends... with your running partner(s). 'Completing the race is only half the fun...' that's what adidas posters at mrts say. and this time round, it's more than just completing the race cuz i've made 2 new friends! :D

the great running buddies - sihui, huixin and jancy :)

the AJ runners! hoo~ we're strong! ;p

race tag and the medal!! okay i think i'm crazy cuz i was taking that shotat midnight when im running the race in a few hours' time. :O

i think i'm beginning to like running, i can feel the passion building up but i dont think i'd become some hardcore runner cuz i still want to have a life. haha! well, i guess i'd continue running during my leisure time. i think it feels good to know that you can cover long distances just with your pair of legs.. haha! it's the sense of satisfaction i guess, it overpowers the fatigue and pain you endure during the run and that's what really keeps you going. it is even more rewarding when you see yourself covering longer and longer distances and the reducing amount of fatigue experienced.

and i'm wondering if i'll be able to make it for the run next year, seems like it's the exam period for university students. oh then i hope i'll miss the run, cuz that means i can get into some university here. ;)
