Race results

I came in #720 with a timing of 1:08:45.

Haha I was actually in the first half would you believe that. (39% to be exact).

I still can't believe it... ;)

Women 10K run

Did the Great Eastern 10km run yesterday.

Didn't tell anyone except Ray and Derrick so as not to jinx myself - I backed out of the Army run due to stitches, and totally FORGOT abt the Sentosa run. Duh...

Anyway, I made it there just in time for a quick warm-up. Thankfully, the skies were clear so Ray was okay with me taking the risk - it was so sweet of him to worry about my health.

I took Brendan's advice to not lean forward and most importantly, to slow down in the beginning (I tend to bolt out of the gates and then DIE later...). It worked - I was able to pace myself, and made it to 9km before taking out the iPod for a needed musical boost. Best thing, I didn't get stitches.

Ray was waiting for me about 4oom before the finishing line. He cheered me on and ran next to me. Haha, I am dead pleased he didn't go for coffee this time ;) He is my tower of strength!

I think I did about 68 mins. I will only know when the results are mailed to me.

Special thanks also go out to my colleague Serene, for being an inspiration and a reminder that "it's all mental"!

So Stanchart run, here I come!

small things

It's 12:41am. Still cranking away. I miss Ray. The dogs are asleep on the floor. It's cool at least; there was rain this afternoon. And we've got Elnora now so I can stop rushing home to do laundry if there's work to be done, and I don't have to worry so much abt the darn neighbour hurting my dogs.

Small things to be grateful. I hope she works out. I really do.

I wonder how Mom's doing. Must call her soon.

PS: I am tired.
