Runs

Yes. I'm back in blogosphere again. Been a couple of days of absence ;p Would like to thank all my wonderful friends for leaving such lovely encouraging comments on my blog :) Leaves me with such a nice warm fuzzy feeling reading all of your kind words ;p *dare I say, keep them coming hohoho*

I thought I'll write about runs today! Running season's back in full swing again. It's gonna be back to more intensive training for yours truly.Back to the days where I will wake up at like say 3am on Sunday mornings, grab breakfast and head off for my runs at 4+am ;p

Let's do a quick count of the number of runs coming up (based on my memory and radar):
1) 1 July Milk Run
2) 8 July Passion Run
3) 22 July Mizuno Wave Run
4) 26 Aug Army Half Marathon(AHM), Sheares Bridge Run
5) 9 Sep Shape Run *yum yum*
6) 21 Oct Great Eastern Women Run
7) 28 Oct Real Run
8) 2 Dec Stanchart

My real interest lies in the AHM, Shape Run and StanChart.

For Stanchart, it's always this internal debate as to which distance I should do. I had a terrible experience doing the full marathon (shall share that one of these days) and have since taken a 1 year hiatus. Am I ready to take on this challenge again? Or should I just stick to my safe and comfortable half marathon and concentrate on bettering my timing? Hmmz...tough choice. Shall give myself more time to decide :)

Love the shape run for the wonderful goody bag that it comes with! With no offense to the guys, it's actually a better feeling running and jostling among a pack of ladies in a women only run as compared to the mixed run. If you're a regular female runner like me, I think you will agree that running the shape run is a more comfortable experience than running say the Army Half Marathon ;p Just imagine squeezing your way through a brood of sweating males ;p As for the other women's only run, let's just say that, purely on economics ground, it makes more sense to do the shape run than the other run ;p

Am in 2 minds for the Real Run. I like the idea of running on different terrain i.e. running on tarmac, sand etc. Am a little disappointed that they shifted the Run from Sentosa to Changi. Still, Changi is one of my favourite areas around Singapore, hence, I'm still tempted to give the run a go ;p Only thing that is really holding me back is that, I'm not really too sure if I fancy waking up at 3am and doing a 10km run on the day when I turn 28. Thought I should be treating myself better ;p Oh well, we'll see how it goes again. There's still time to go :)

Calling all my lady friends out there :) If you've signed up for the shape run, and is looking for someone to train with, or to meet up together before or after the run, my door's always open :)
