Standard Chartered 2013
To end off 2013! I have registered for Standard Chartered 2013 Full Marathon category! My 5th running event in my life. Also, my very first Full Marathon! It will be held on 1 Dec 2013 (Sunday) at (venue to be confirmed). This must be and will be the greatest achievement for me this year!
However, my concern is whether I would have sufficient time to train well prior to race day. It is not a reason, but frankly, being a design student is never easy... Lack of time to eat or sleep, rushing work overnight for submission and presentation. Whatever as long as I complete within the cut off time of 8 hours! However, I have actually set my expected completion time within 5-6 hours during the registration procedure.
Newton Challenge 2013
This is my 4th running event, the Newton Challenge 2013! It will be held on 20 Oct 2013 (Sunday) at East Coast Park, Singapore. This time, I am running 32km! Initially, I wanted to run 18km, but was encouraged by some people to go for 32km, since I can already complete half marathon 7 weeks before this race. I am afraid of overtraining or overestimating myself. But well, I am set for 32km already! Excited and worried! Will upload more images when the time comes!
Adidas KOTR (King Of The Road) 2013
My third running event held on 11 August 2013 (Sunday) at Esplanade Drive, Singapore, Adidas KTOR (King Of The Road) 2013! But what a pity! It was raining cats and dogs 45mins before flag off and lasted for about 3 hours! The organizers decided to cancel this event due to unforeseen circumstances and for the safety of all runners. No physical completion but the organizers will be sending everyone a finisher medal though. It has been nearly a month and I have yet to receive the medal... Will update this page again with the medal.
Women Shape Run 2013
My second running event in my life goes to Shape Run 2013! It was scheduled on 7th July 2013 (Sunday) at Nicoll Highway, Singapore. However, Singapore was hit by the worse haze ever in history the month before, therefore, the event was postponed to 27 October 2013 (Sunday) instead. Anyway, it is a buddy run which I will be running this 5km with my friend! New updates about this event will be added below!
Pocari Sweat Run 2013
This was my very first running event I ever joined in my life. My very first time belongs to Pocari Sweat Run 2013. It was held on 16th June 2013 (Sunday) at The Promontary at Marina Bay in Singapore. The experience was good. I won't say fantastic because when the gun time started, I was still walking so slowly with a crowd of runners at the holding pen towards the start line. Even when I passed the start line, I had to jog slowly to filter left and right through the crowd.
Being the first run I ever participate in, I am still glad to be in the top 10% of all women runners for 5km, though I know the good runners are running the 10km category. YOLO! You Only Live Once! At least it is a personal achievement unlocked!
