Discipline, determination, and endurance - the three qualities of a runner. Do I have these in me? Well, I don't know and I really don't care. All I want is to earn the finisher's medal and to have fun.Last week, the SubUrban Run was held. It was the first running event in Singapore with the "Two-in-a-team" category. For days, my friend sent invitations for someone to be his running partner. I wanted to join but I also had my hesitations. It was going to be on the day after we will transfer to a new apartment and I'm sure I'd be tired. Aside from that, I'm also not sure if I can finish 10 kilometers. I might give up in the middle of the race and cause disappointment to my friend. That was until I saw a picture of the finisher's medal. Where do I register? :D
Two weeks before the race, we registered as "The Running Smart Cards". Two weeks of training, two weeks of waiting. Finally, the big day came and we finished the 10-km route in 1 hour 17 minutes and 51 seconds. Not bad for a first-timer. :)

i want to get involve with runs and walks for a cause but like you, i am hesitant because i might only make it halfway.
ReplyDeleteguess we'll never find out if we won't give it a try, right? so, i'll be taking the challenge too, dong!
Hi Jacy, before joining an event, try running around the neighborhood to see how far you can go. I use MapMyRun to plan my routes and see the distance covered. It also shows elevation data so you'll know which part of the route is flat, downhill, or uphill. Good luck! :)
