Update: Completed the run without stopping. 10KM took me 1:25:47 (Chip finish) and 1:29:44 (Gun finish)
I read the papers today and saw the route for 2008 Standard Chartered Marathon. I’m running the 10KM route. This should be my 4th year. Everything is perhaps the same except for the route.
I have never run this route before so it is a little panicky for me. The last 10KM run was in July I think, Shape Run. Nevertheless, I will enjoy the scenery and pace myself.
This shall be the last year for 10KM. Time to get out of comfort zone to meet new challenges and conquer them!
Here I come!

2nd half of the year is packed with running events! One after another. And for runners, the cost of running for the events can be a little strain on your pockets as it can easily add up to hundreds over dollars just on registration. Not to mention that sometimes due to the time of the running event, we have to take cabs.
Now I am not complaining but rather doing my part to help runners to be cost-effective whenever I can.
This is the promo-code I receive as I was a participant of Great Eastern Women Run.It gives you 10% off the registration.

Hope that this is useful and a cost saving strategy for you to enjoy runs.

Just received a mailer from Shape Magazine regarding the very popular women only run in July. It is so popular in my opinion due to the low registration price and the value in their goodie bags. This run is usually fully booked within 3-4 weeks after the launch. If you are interested, register early.
This year, they increase the registration fee from $20 to $30 (w/0 shape magazine subscription)
I am nevertheless going for this run as usual.
See you there.

June is usually the season for which running events pop up all over the island.
This event is a new one for me. Never heard of it before.
More details here.
I am going to register for the 15km run! First time ever to run a 15km. It will be memorable 
Who else is going for the run?

This will be the event taking place in mid of 2008.
I am looking forward to the 21 KM event. From now till then, there are about 25 weeks for me to train for 4 rounds of 5km. LOL, it makes me feel easier and more confortable as 2 rounds of 10km sounds so much. It’s all a matter of perspection!
Who’s going to join me? Hands up! We can perhaps run in the west area.
First 21 KM event!
