First Run

My first run finally came and it was good achievement for me. As one of the success mantra says, the first step to success is showing up! I was there at 6.15am and there were already lots of ladies already there, geared up and ready to go. I did not have high expectations for the run. I wanted to finish it.

The flag-off was 7.30am and the 5km run started 5 mins after. I completed my 5km in about 40mins as shown on the timer's board as I ran in.

Not bad for a first timer and for someone who have not been running. The last time I ran 2.4km for my secondary school fitness test was 18mins so, 15years later, 40mins for 5km, I am pretty damn proud!

My running companion
I had my mp3 with me and I thought it would be nice to finish with George Michael's (6min) Freedom on my last stretch. Instead, my finished run was with Creed on Higher. Pat Benator's All Fired Up and Elvis Presly's A Little Less Conversation were among those who accompanied my run.

I loved it. I would definately want to participate more. With the right pair of shoes and a timer watch would be sweet. :-)
