Let's talk a little about the run i had on sunday. I'll begin with saturday. Saturday nite, i went home after my game of magic and did some carbo-loading. I didn't realise i was eating alot more than usual (my appetite is pretty small these days) until my mom saw me eating from the rice container and went like "That's alot of rice". Then later on, when i finished the remaining pot of curry, my brother went like, "You finished all the curry!!" And i went like, "but it's only eight chicken wing drumlets." i really didn't think it was alot, since i didn't have anything else beside the rice and drumlets.



Morning arrived, my auntie borrowed her brother's car and fetched us (my brother, cousin's hubby, taekwando kid and me) to the start point. Everything began as late but alright. Nothing much interesting in the babe watch news. A couple of babes here and there, but not as many/much compared to sheares bridge run. Maybe the sheer mileage turns them away. There were two interesting babes though. One was wearing a top that had the words, "Uniquely Gorgeous" on it. Woooo Gorgeous....



At around 16km, i started to have cramps and it was impossible to jog without having spasms in the muscles. And i did what i did best, i walked. In fact, i out walked a whole bunch of other walkers, there were even some who jogged slower than i could walk. I would have done the same thing as them, walk and jog alittle, except that i could not make more than afew paces before the spasms return.



I was hitting 33+km when i come to the other interesting babe. My initial thought was, 'hey, she's running in the wrong direction.' But turned out that she was in the right direction. Maybe she started late or something, anyway, she was some 6+km behind me. Nothing much i could do, xcept to clap for her.



Closing on the finish line, it was quite exhilarating. Took alot of discipline to continue walking and not jog the last 100 meters. Coz if i tried to jog, i would have limped the last 75 meters of the finished line. Kind of feels good when the other runners who have completed hang around there to cheer you on.



Race complete, i forgot to return the rfid chip. Which in turn meant i didn't get my extra t-shirt and medal. Oh well.... Anyway, i grabbed some lunch in suntec, took a cab home and played a round of hide and seek with uncle zhou's daughter.



The only thing that pisses me about the whole ordeal are the abrasions. Can u believe it, i got abrasion on my buttocks. Now that hurts.... Sunburns and all... yeah, pretty good run... i mean walk.
