Five years ago, i would flip if someone asked me to join a competitive run.. Seriously, back then, running 30 minutes on the threadmill @ the speed of 8km/hr was a great achievement! In 2008, thanks to ziv who was then nagging @ his wife & me that we were not fully optimising our gym membership and thanks to him, who managed to convince me to join him in the fun run of the safra run that year (in attempt to get jac to join in the fun..) somehow or another, that started the avalanche of runs that I started participating... [Not to mention that the training regime imposed by e, whom i re-connected with that same year, pointed me in that direction..]
Oh well, not that I'm complaining , since I manage to vanquish some of those stubborn fats and improved stamina & less prone to long-battling bouts of flu.
Last Sunday, went for the Nike city run [forgotten i'd signed up for that run and the ge run following sunday but was inevitably scheduled for duty for s3. drats, it was tooo late when the schedule was out a few weeks ago despite informing the i/c the very instance the new system rolled out].. but still i made it to expo a quarter pass nine.. fully made-up :) timing wasn't too bad (considering i woke up late and rush down after just gulping down a tetrapak of soy milk..) @ 55:35.. :) nothing much to wow about.. except that it was a sight to see so many luminous yellow peeps running... oh.. it was a SG vs KL run - the two cities will compete for the most mileage clocked from 1 Sep 10 to 31 Oct 10 that was synced to the Nike+ site.. Oh well.. sg was and still in the lead but i guessed partly was due to fact that there are more sg users participating in the challenge..nonetheless .. haha i'm currently 13 on the leadership board [cuz i've to clock many miles/km weekly thanks to e..:(]
I'm not really obsessed with running, just trying to maintain the momentum that was kicked started. Not to mention very toned lower bod.. :)
