Shape Run 2007

09 Sept 2007
Well, we did it! (Shape Run website)


After weeks of training, plotting our routes on mapmyrun.com, trial runs at East Coast Park and Shenton Way, 9 Sept 2007 finally dawned upon us!! Yup, I had to wake up at 5am on a SUNDAY! Geez...

We got to the Esplanade really early before 6:30am and the organisers were still setting up the stage and stuff. We noticed that the more seasoned runners did not turn up until much later, after 7am. But we were noobies at this; our virgin run! ;)



We mingled amongst the sea of 4D numbers. Of course my dad could not resist buying my number that Sunday but of course he didn't strike lah.. What did you expect? Oh yeah, as Mag said in her blog, I kept spotting my old car numbers - 6941, 2257, 7494.

ANYWAY... the weeks of training paid off (sorta). We didn't win the $500 first prize money but we managed to complete the 5km without breaking any bones.

For a $20 registration fee, we got a free Nike tee, which is quite nice. And also a bag full of sample vitamins, lotions, shampoo and all sorts of coupons which I would never use! The one I would never try is a UV protection/sunscreen which is taken orally. They claim that it's all worth a total of $1000...... really?





It was all in all a fun day, even though waking up at 4:30am/5am kinda messed up our systems...

Now go to Mag's blog to read more about it !!

Note to self: Need to gear it up for the Great Eastern 10km run!! gawd.... >.<

My timing : 00:32:34.63 (placed 168th)
