Citi-MilkRun 2008

Missed the Passion Run on 8 June 2008 due to unforeseen circumstances (A.K.A overslept) but managed to turn up for the MilkRun (cos this one started at 3.15pm instead of 6.30am). A 9.4km run starting from River Valley Green, looping around Clarke Quay and Boat Quay and ending back at River Valley Green.

Due to a slight miscalculation, I ended exhausting myself even before the run began. Ran from home to catch a train down to Somerset and ran to the start point. By the time I bumped into Man and Mike I was already perspiring like crazy. The run kicked off around 3.20pm, weather was great, breezy without the hot afternoon sun.

Around 20 minutes into the run, Man had fallen out of sight. Another 10 minutes and I was winded and had to let Mike go on ahead. It was only halfway into the run man! And I was already slowing down to walking now and then. The worst came when ladies started over taking me followed by little kids... T_T

Final timing: 59mins (to be confirmed)
Distance: 9.4km

Hope none of the cameramen caught me slacking (fingers crossed)

P.S: Lessons learned
1. Don't be overconfident (especially since I've not ran in awhile)
2. Know the route (following aimlessly was ultra demoralising)
3. Following behind pretty girls for motivation don't always work
