Barely in SHAPE

Hey, I did it! I completed the SHAPE 5km run!

I did 37.07 mins - lousy timing. The excuse is that I'd a double dose of the stitches about 1km into the run, but die-die also cannot clutch the sides (while the cameras are around). But face it, I am slow.

My dear colleagues Serene and Diana did the 10km and 5km in 54 mins and 30 mins respectively. And I am full of respect of them. I must get fitter and make it to... 32 mins? ;)

The Ah Lau took a few shots of me warming up and at the start. But then the si gin nah went to look for kopi orh kosong and er, MISSED me at the finishing point. DUH. And to think I braved the Sim Lim Square crowd to get the long lens the day before... Sigh. Men. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.

I should have known to take a shot of me and the two gals before the run - I thought the post-run would make us more macho *thump chest* and not make us so obviously yow gui (we were really only there for the goodie bag).

All in all, I'd fun. I can't believe I would ever say this about running in my life, but heck, life's funny like that.

Army 6-km city run, anyone?
