Shape Run (19 Jul)

My maiden long distance run - may be a mere 5km to some people....but it really took a lot of courage for me to join this - someone that thought i will never ever run 2.4km after graduating from school :)

The day started early. Dear drove me to the reporting venue at Millenia walk around 615am where i met Linda and her friend. We deposited our bags, queued for toilet and did our warm-ups.

It was so crowded....some 8,000 ladies took part - see the sea of pink! Some did 10km while some did 5km. Linda and i did the 5km one....after all, we are new to this. I got a little nervous at the starting point...don't really know what to expect. Afterall, i have never ran beyond 2.4km at a go. I also didn't really train for this run as i have been busy travelling for work the 1 mth before.

Linda and I at the starting point:

Upon finishing...

......met Sheena who did the 10km run

Queuing to get the runner's kit....pretty good stuff they gave....the various activities in each of these tents are exciting fringe activities other than the run itself....quite an experience and makes me hooked on wanting to come back again next year!

Back at the ending point for photo taking...

Finally.....after the run...after visiting the various booths for the gifts and fringe activities.....here's the HEARTY meal i promised myself after the run! Haha.....wanted more sinful food but Linda reminded me.....and also everywhere was really crowded and we ended up at Olio Dome at Marina Square....not too bad a place to chill out lah! :)
