The Shape Run 2007

first thing first, i didn’t know there are so many female runners in singapore….
6000+++ wow! it was amazed by the huge turn up…

it was my first time in SHAPE RUN. I missed the run last year as i was too wols….

1 week before the actual run, my right knee couldnt make it. it was crying out loudly with pain. i went to see metal beat dr (pls read in chinese) and it seems better but 4 days before the actual run, i went for a jog around my estate, my right knee was again crying out in pain but this time softer tsktsk…..

i went down to marina square to collect the running tee, and asked the official there if i could go for a 5 km run due to my crying knee. i got a firm NO.
it was solid and persistent NO.

so i had no choice but to continue my 10KM run without caring too much abt my knee…
my goal was to complete the race without stopping and i accomplish that! yeah!!!
did it in 78 mins, a feat for me i consider though my target for 10KM will be 55 min.

1 surprising thing is that during the entire run, my knee hardly cries, just that it was slightly burning and everything else was great!

simply love the environment, the sun, the trees along marina south area, the runners, the keep running spirit.

I felt good, real good

btw, i have a load of gym passes etc that come along with the shape run goodie bag…
if anyone is interested, drop me a line, email etc…. i can give them to you since i won’t use them

Who’s up for Great Eastern Run?

See you there.

PS: i met 2 of my nj touch rugby team mates there! 1 is a lawyer now, the other is moulding the future generation bravo!
