10-10-10: I made it! ^=^

10-10-10 ->> 10th Oct 2010 marked my 1st 30km. I'm so HAPPY that I made it alive.

1st of all must 'THANK GOD' for the beautiful weather else I would not make it within my targetted time of 4.5 hours. In the morning, it was raining and I thought... Oh no.... not another Yellow Ribbon run in the rain. Hahaha...then the rain stopped just when the race was about to start. Yippee!!! After the rain, the weather was pretty cooling all the way till 11am. Mr. Sunshine only woke up after 11am.

I only managed to run non-stop for the 1st 12km. After that, I started to have short breaks in between runs. The 1st 20km was still OK. After that, my legs started to get very tired though waist up can still make it. My waist down basically gave up on me after 25km. I walked a lot during my last 10km and was like dragging my legs at some point.

I took forever to complete my last 1km. The timing ain't great but I'm glad I completed my 1st 30km. I think I'm OK for 21km now but for full marathon definitely need LOTS and LOTS of training to avoid 'jelly legs'. Hahaha...

And here's the medal we got for finishing the race. This round's run have no nice goody bag and the running T is just a normal T. Anyway, a lot just joined to clock the 30km.

The next run wil be on 24th Oct 2010 - Nike City Run 2010. ^=^

Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2010 - Wet Sunday

This morning, Piggy and I went to Changi for the Yellow Ribbon Prison 10km run and it was raining cats and dogs. We were hoping the rain would stop but it went on all the way till even after we finish the run. We were all given a transparent poncho and we all look so funny running with the ponchos.

This is the 1st time running the whole stretch of 10km with the poncho and all wet...

Ms Mo's clean shoes with the 'yellow laces' before the run....
This is how my shoes looked like after the run and collection of the baggage in the mud... = (

The Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2010 Carnival....

This year, we're given a key for the finisher momento.... a key to unlock d' 2nd prison....^=^

Despite the chaotic baggage collection, overall I still enjoyed the cooling run eventhough I'm damn sleepy and tired after the 'Universal Studios' trip the day before.... ^=^

Yellow Ribbon Run 2010 Race Pack

Just collected my race pack this afternoon with Piggy. The run will be next Sun (5th September 2010) 7:45am at Changi. This year the running-T is so much better in sizes and material. No more running in 'guni sack' like last year. =p They even give a free hand pouch this year.

Hope the weather would be good and everyone will have a good run next week. My 1st run after the LASIK treatment. Just gotta make sure the excessive sweat don't get into my eyes. ^=^


* Today's STEPS sucks... 'I HATE IDIOT' *

Shape Run 2010

Just had my Shape Run 2010 this morning. Weather forecasted was a storm but the weather turned out to be good. Thank GOD for it. ^=^

Had a good run with Piggy and a couple of gym mates despite my aunty visit. This time we are on time before they start the run but my goodness... the toilet Q was damn long. I end up running the 10km with a full bladder. It's really not a good idea after all. Timing this time not better than previous but still not that bad after all.

Felt so good after emptying my bladder at the finishing line.... in the toilet of course. hahaha...

Here's the goody bag this year. Don't really like the bag and Piggy swears not to join the Shape Run next year anymore coz of the bad organisation on the goody bag collection. Haha...

Adidas Sundown Run 2010

Had a good run last night though I was still running with stitch this round. I dunno why since the Passion Run, I keep getting stitch during the run. I almost gave up around 6 to 7km when my tummy hurts so much..... till MCC called up to me from behind. I became more motivated when I saw her and continue to run till the finishing line. Thanks to MCC!!! ^=^

I'm so happy that I beat my last week's Passion Run record though only about 2 mins faster.

Adidas Sundown Run 2010 10km timing: 01:07:59s

I am getting nearer and nearer to my 10km in 60mins goal. I am pretty worried about my 30km in Oct now. I better 'add oil' and start some 'real' training when I'm back from my June trip else I will not finish my 1st 30km in one piece. Hahaha.... Hope MCC will last minute decide to run together with me for the 30km.

Passion Run 2010 Results

So happy that despite running with stitches all the way from 3km onwards, I still manage to beat my own best records of 1 hour 13 mins++. Well, I hope this coming Sat, I would do better for the Adidas Sundown 10km. My target would be 10km within 1 hour by end of this year.

Ganbatte kudasai!!! ^=^

Piggy did very well too... without any training, she managed to finish within 1 hour 30mins++.
Congrats, Piggy!! She must be having fun eating non-stop in Ipoh now... haha... It's pretty quiet being home alone without Piggy's snoring and li'l Chicky Pie's crying... I miss them...

Adidas Sundown Race Pack Collection

Just collected my Adidas Sundown 10km race pack today. Lucky my gym buddy helped me Q for the race pack today else I would be Q-ing forever at Raffles City as the Q was damn long.

I quite like the colour coz it's Purple but don't really like the cutting though. I will be just doing 10km this round and I hope to do the full marathon next year if possible for Adidas Sundown 2011 as I prefer night runs, if I am still in Lion City. Hahaha....

Tomorrow is my 10km Passion Run at East Coast Park with Piggy and friends. Hope the weather is good and everything goes well tomorrow evening. ^=^

* Still pretty irritated with how the pix get rotated... tried many ways but just can't fix it... if you know of any ways, do let me know... I would really appreciate it. haha...

Safari Zoo Run 2010

Just had my 1st run of the year at the Singapore Zoo today (6th Feb 2010). It was just a FUN Run of 6.2km, running the route in both Singapore Zoo and Night Safari.



It was pretty fun running while taking pictures of the animals. Didn't really feel the 6km distance. Guess coz busy chit chatting and taking pictures while enjoying the view. There were even a lot of people running with their prams with the babies/kids.


There's only 1 thing that I didn't really like about the run. They release the people in batches at the starting point as the trail is very narrow.


Anyway, it was a fun experience but don't think I will join again next year. = )


* Here's some pix taken during the run...

At the Starting Point...waiting for the releases in batches...

Running past the elephants at the Night Safari...
Zebra crossing....
Running with the kids...

Running with prams....

I hope my legs are still in good condition for the run that morning... after whole morning of hiking at Bukit Timah on Saturday morning and 1 hour of spinning in the afternoon. If the run goes well and my legs are still alive, maybe I can go STEPS in the evening. Hahah...



Here's the goodie bag... It comes with a FILA running T, sports bag and some free samples/vouchers as well as lots of GE brochures. = )



This time number also not so 'ONG'... it's '5286'... if you read it in canton... it sounds like 'ng yee fatt lo'... cannot get rich.... hahaha....

Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2009

At last, finished my 10km Yellow Ribbon Prison Run this morning. Things didn't really go well as expected.... = ((

1st... cannot really wake up.... suppose to wake up at 530 but woke up at 540.
2nd... suppose to get out of the house by 6 but ended up getting out at only 615.
3rd... waiting time for the trains during weekend is so much longer and we had to switch trains.
4th... tummyache... both piggy and i were having bad tummyache.
5th... long Q at the shuttle bus area.
6th... stuck in the traffic jam & when we look out of the window, we see people start running dy.
7th... by the time we reach there, it's already past flag off time and we hurried to toilet.
8th... no more time for proper warm up after we leave our stuff at the baggage counter.
9th... starts to drizzle and raining during the run.
10th... my knee starts to pain after running 5km and there's so many up and down hills.

BUT despite all the above, we all had fun and Life goes on... Be HAPPY! Hahaha...there's one thing good that I like, is that due to raining, the weather was pretty cooling.

This round timing no good... due to my poor knee... the down hill run was bad for my knees... so end up walking down hill most of the time... think have to start wearing 'knee-guard' to run dy next round. * sigh....

Here's the 'Goodie Bag' after the run... Finisher paper weight, a cap, a wristband and a small sports towel. I like the cute lion paper fan. = )

Yellow Ribbon Prison Run '09

My next run is this coming Sun (6th September 2009) at Changi. It's the 'Yelllow Ribbon Prison Run 2009'.

The running-T is 'BIG' and I actually took 'S' size. Piggy go take 'XXL' without measuring and assuming the biggest size should fit. Her T is 'HUGE' compared to the 'L' size NIKE T that I have from last year's SHAPE Run. And the quality sucks... Piggy said like wearing 'GUNI-sack'.

Oh ya...Piggy is doing the 10km run with me and she's regretting it already... saying that she can't finish it. Well, I believe she can do it if she use her 'VIOLIN' spirit to run her 10km. Hehehe... MCC and sis, as well as my gym mates are doing the run together too. The more the merrier ya... = )

No training again... = ( Well, hope weather is good this Sun and body condition is well. GANBATTE 2 ALL!!! =>

Shape Run 2009 Results

Slight improvement from the last run, by a few minutes. The last Sundown 10km I took 1:17:19.89 and for this Shape 10km I took 01:13:41. Well, can't hope for much with no training. I hope I can clock within an hour soon, with training. Hahaha...

This year is really a running year. Never run so much in my life. I wonder if Piggy is regretting having a crazy roommate who makes her sign up all the runs together. Hahaha... Piggy & I signed up another run, just 5km only in Oct -> Pink Ribbon Run & Walk So, in total there would be 5 runs (45km) this year. = )

Shape Run 2009 Race Kit

My GYM buddy helped me to collect the SHAPE RUN '09 race kit today as I was busy this morning. Went to settle some payment for my tour, then off to STEP class in the gym. Today, the step ss not so shiok... maybe coz lately, went to try out a few intermediate step classes and finding it more challenging. Hahaha... so when attending the beginner's class, feels pretty different.

This year's SHAPE run shirt is much nicer coz it's PINK and it's NIKE. = ) It's no longer GREEN. The shirt they gave out for the 1st 2 runs I joined last year was all GREEN, my least favourite colour. This time, number not so 'ONG'.... 2124... in chinese like easy to die. hahaha... lucky I not a pantang gal. I hope this year things will be more organized during the goodies bags collection after the run.

The run is just a week away, which is next SUN, 19th July 2009.

This is the 2nd 10km run this year. Planned to join the 'YellowRibbonPrison' and the 'GE10K' as well. Hmmm....does it count if I do 4 '10km' runs in a year EQUALS to one full marathon? hahaha...
