Running Fun

Tashy loves her ballons

Can you believe that J & me was already up and having brekkie at 6.30am this morning? People who knows us well will know that's weird for us to be up and about at that hour being the night owls that we are.

Josh was still coming out of slumberland at the running grounds

Well, Josh darling actually woke up so early just to participate at a 5Km fun run out at Springfield with me. It was 10Km that I planned to prepare for initially but it was somehow cancelled for some reason or other (which was pretty annoying since I just can't run fast enough to get a good timing for 5k). Anyways, we still went ahead since it was a goal I set at the beginning of this year to get myself back into long dist running.

If you look carefully you would be able to see J coming from behind.

It was great having Josh to pace me the entire way and I simply love running with a huge group of people. Though this might not be as big as ones that I have participate before like Standard Chartered (in Singapore), its better than nothing I figured. There were the fit runners, okay okay fitness runners (me!), the just for fun runners, back pack carrying runners, pram pushing parents runners,just there to walk runners etc. Its interesting to see the variety of different runners all congregate together to do this fun run on a downcast and chilly morning. I was thankful that the rain held back till after the run cos I can't see myself being able to run as fast being all wet and cold.


And that's me doing my last stride for the race.

Towards the last 100m, J went ahead and got in under 24 mins and with me striding behind him just slightly over 24mins. We figured that our actual timing is probably slightly lower than what was stated on the electronic timer since we started in the middle of the crowd. I'm looking forward to see what our actual timing was (recorded by a microchip that each runner has on his/her bib) on Wednesday this coming week when the results gets posted online. Till Wed.......Us feeling refreshed and yearning for more after the run.

There were events planned after the race, one of them being tug of war. This man at the end was ultra strong, man. He actually won by just grabbing unto turfs of grass and walking backwards.


Meggy joined in the fun too!

Found a boy who shares the same name as me

We end the morning at a cafe with Tash sipping on her fav cup of cuppa: Baby Cino
