The Perks of Running!!!


Thank God for the really nice weather this morning down at the Padang. The annual SAFRA Army Half Marathon (Singapore Bay Run) was awesome. Well, apart from the horribly muddy and icky Padang field filled with squishy mud patches which left everyone trying to walk as gingerly across as possible so as to minimise soiling their running shoes! Well, either way, my pair looks really spic and span now coz after I came home I gave it a good scrub! *yay...happy shoes*

Anyway, I'm really happy with my run. I think it was one of my personal best timings, although i must admit that I think my timing could have been better if not for the human traffic that left some areas congested. Oh well... the downside of mass running events. Nonetheless, I had heaps of fun... will upload pics once I get them from my fellow colleague! Nike Run next week...

Speaking of The NIKE Haman Race which will be held on 31.08.08, met my sister after my run at Clarke Quay to collect our race packs. Luckily my sis was early so she started queueing, coz by the time I arrived the line had snaked all the way till... I dunno where. Obviously I didn't bother, coz it really didn't matter at this point in time when we were pretty near the front. Not bad la, we only had to queue for about 45mins or so....

But I think it was all worth the wait coz the stuff in the bag was pretty sweet indeed.... check it out:




The tote bag which contained....

It's gonna be an awesome event I reckon!

The huge Nike water bottle that came with it

The front of the uber red dry-fit race t-shirt with each runner's personalised tag number printed on (I'm runner 0866277... haha, feels like some prisoner id! yikes)



What's on the back of the shirt


The list of the participating cities...



The lot.... i like!

Hey if anyone is interested in attending the after concert...apparently there are some international bands and local bands playing.... let me know coz I have 2 complimentary passes (coz i was the 1st 4000 to collect my race packs..hahah). Only ppl with these passes can enter the concert area. More details go to the race website ok.
