Mizuno Wave Run 2006

Just came back from Mizuno Wave Run 2006! Haha. That’s really a surprise activity for me, because I don’t really like running. Soccer kakis jio me, so gave it a try loh. The total distance of the run was 10km. And I’m proud to say that I only walked for less than 1km! The remainder 9km was either run or jog. AND I only stopped for a small walk after the 5km mark! My previous record was only 3.5km, haha… Please do bear in mind that I really seldom do running k! Think I had never run so much in my life before loh. I took 1hr 10min 30s to complete the run.

Don’t what motivated me to do that…Haha.

But the run was early, 7.30am! I supposed all runs are held that early bah. Luckily it was held at Hougang Kovan. So traveling was not a problem for me. Honestly speaking, I wasn’t feeling really well this morning I woke up. I felt cold. Hmm…don’t know why. And basically I was on cold sweat throughout the run, an icy feeling surrounded me as I ran, and even after I finished running. In fact after the run, Joos n Alvin told me they felt warm and stuffy! I was like “huh, I feel damn cold throughout loh!” Fortunately, I came back in 1 piece. If not, you can try looking out for this number: 5240 on the headlines of this evening’s newspapers! Ops, touch wood touch wood…

There’s supposed to be a water point at every 2.5km of the run. I only found that out in midst of the run. When I was about to reach 1st water point, I saw a friend of mine also joining the run with his gf. Talked with him awhile…and that’s it…I missed the water point! And I only realized it when my friends told me that there’s a water point at the 2.5km mark just now! Having no choice, I just had to endure through to the next water point at 5km mark. Blur me…

Oh ya there’s 1 thing I felt amused. After finished drinking the cups of water, all I need to do was just to throw the cup along the side of the road. Licensed to litter! Some people took a few sips, and pour the rest onto their heads. I wish to do that too, but I was listening to my ipod mini…so that’s a no for me. Haha, but the part where I just threw the cups onto the side of the road…haha…I felt like a professional competitive runner! Haha…

Overall it’s an interesting experience for me, and I was well satisfied with my performance. Haha. We were even talking about joining the run again next year! Haha
