Run* - Leona Lewis

Perhaps it is good that i have a bad run before i take a 3 months plus break from competitive running.

A flying saucer landed near us before the race started!

I thought i did not too bad. But the timing cannot lie. I ran slow - even slower than the really bad run last Saturday!!! What a surprise! last Saturday, it felt like i walked for most of the way. the strange part about it is that last Saturday's run was longer than today's!!! Ok, only by 500 meters but it is still longer. Yet, i completed it faster than today's run!!!

It was hilly and i walked a lot too. And this is the first run ever when i actually walked pass the finish line. Everyone will end off the race in style. After all, at the finish line, there are loads of people there cheering you on. Last Saturday, i was suffering from cramps but i still forced meself to jog pass the finish line.

We had to run into the stadium to end the race!

Oh, this run also gave what some felt was the best ever running vest - and it has to be this race when they ran out of sizes and gave me a very obscene looking size M. Obscene cuz when i tried it on, it was like my second skin! Spandex superhero type! Too bad i din have a superhero body.

Typical M'sians pushing and shoving their way to gt the free drinks

Oh, oh - i finally got to see 'Pee Ass' - some girl i've been stalking following her blog for a while. I must say that reading her blog palyed a big part in pushing me to run again. and it was thanks to her that i finally bought a pair of Brooks - and this run was my Brooks' maiden run. It felt really really good! Worth every sen. Too bad it din help me achieve a better time!

So no more runs till the Penang Bridge in November. But i'll try to make meself run a 10 km course at least once a month til then!
