blogger changed into ANOTHER format. its weird. i dun like having to keep adapting to its new styles.
~
Nike Realrun.
Urp. haha. My legs are still sore from the run. Its not cos i'm lousy kay. altho i did 5.5 km instead of 10km (cos i am a Junior. *haha*) , but i ran e entire 1.8 km of beach route. and running on SAND is IMPOSSIBLE.
Really really. I'm quite proud of myself for running e entire beach path cos most ppl stopped for their run (including zhao n dele! :P and mi 2 sergeants. ya lar, maybe cos they had to run an additional 4.5km but still.) I think the beach route killed me seriously. I could feel the strain instantly when mi legs sunk into e sand and i had to lug them out from the depression and then lift them again before throwing my sole flat down onto e sand again. Then as i tried to run straight, i kept shifting cos the sand collapses towards the water (downslope). I had to keep trying to land on compact sand (wet sand was best) so mi legs won't absorb too much of e impact. but wah lel, it realli did mi knees in.
only 2 thoughts ran thru mi head :
" I'm so glad i am in Junior category. I better warn adele. "
and
" My legs are so screwed after this. "
Never before have i felt so tempted to stop. Even for mi run to esplanade. Conclusion: Never run on sand.
Anyway, i did 5.5 km in 28 min. I'm pretty satisfied at e result cos i thot i took bout 10 min for e entire sand route which means i did well for the rest of the run.
Well, all in all, i seriously enjoyed e Nike Realrun. And now there's only one thing in my mind :
I wanna look like a professional runner. Complete with the lean, thin legs, the tan and the FBT shorts and Asics shoes. It's my newest dream/ goal. Wah lel. Zhen de. I must.
The runners looked super man (or superman haha wu liao). I tell u. DAMNED cool. I conclude that Runners are the most cool looking sportsmen. Doubtless. As in not the top athletes but jus in general. Altho most of them were posers who had shades la, who bared their top la but i cannot deny they looked cool as a cucumber. So i'm gonna start a really mean running regime once mi legs recover. haha. And i realised my sergeant realli likes running too! He asked me to bring him for a run to town! yay. good. it feels good that i can pull in ppl to do such crazy stuff together.
As for adele and zhao. haha adele said no less than 20 times the phrase : " I've got a bad feeling about this. " From when we woke up, till when we got on and den off the taxi, to walking to the holding area, to watching outdoor sports clubs doing mass stretching and warmup jogs , to seeing those runner legs. Later she jus went into a daze and said, " I'm now jus Yu3 Shi4 Ge2 Jue2 (apart from the world)." But well, she finished the run altho she walked e entire beach route. Luckily zhao accompanied her. Wah lel, these ppl can actually call me halfway thru e run and chit chat with me. Mei zhi qi.
I realli like the Nike Realrun tee shirt. Too bad for dele and zhao they only had Large left. But it fit me jus right. Tho its a drifit-wannabe cotton t-shirt but aiya, i'm not too particular. Since this IS my first running event.
Okay, now i'm looking at Army Half Marathon or Standard Chartered Half Marathon. EEEEEHA! Both are 21 km but AHM is in 1-2 mths time. So i mus pass that cos i can't train up in time. SCHM will be in december so i think i shld go for it. Unless it clashes with my China family trip. Oh well. We'll see. Wah lel, but the registration fee for SCHM seriously deters me man. $40! wah piang. The tee better be the chio-est i've ever seen man. haha.
I saw shunzhang,bingxing,zeyun,bingjia,tay ping hui, chong,siew, lijen,weijie , shaosheng,mark and a whole lot of other hwachong ppl and chinese high ppl. Its pretty cool to see ppl u know ard.
Running rocks. (when can i run a full marathon? *the world record for a full marathon (42km) is under 2hrs. gapes.*
i'm so gonna run. so gonna run. so gonna run run run run run run run.
