Technically speaking, this wasn't the official Jurong Lake Run. This was a launch run of the Jurong Lake Running Club. We signed up because it was only $10 after passion card discount, and there's goodie bag, and there's a buffet dinner after the run. Heh heh heh! No lah, we were not that cheapskate. We just like to run with a group of people.
We were blessed with good weather this evening. There was no event t-shirt and all the runners came in their own running tee. Clement wore the one that printed "18km" for the Newton Run. Wow... quite a lot wore the same event tshirt as Clement but theirs were 30km! This guy wore a biathalon event tshirt. Those girls were McRitchie Runner members. And look at those ang mohs with super duper long and lean legs! Wooo.... this one wore a finisher tshirt for a marathon! Suddenly, I felt so small..... but I remembered what my friend Dawn shared with me just last night -- Running is about completion, not competition. Ahhh, yes!
And so we ran.
Running among a group of fast runners made me lose my pace. After 3km or so, I gave up trying so hard and ran at a comfortable speed. My legs were telling me to slow down too as I had already chalked 35km this week. Upon completing this run, I would have chalked up 45km for this week!! A personal achievement!
I completed the run in 1hr 5mins 38sec, about 3 mins slower than the guys.
This is probably my last running event in 2011. Looking forward to 2012 and more running events!
