one of the most tiring days of my life

I shall keep my promise and blog for every comment I get.. But I'm so freaking tired! And I still have to blog TWO posts?! Owe you all one la ah! Hee.

Anyway, I MADE IT for the Nike Run!! So freaking proud of myself man! Slept for one hour and went.





The sea of red that greeted me when I reached there. So amazing la. Apparently 10000 people went according to Nike website, but I dunno if they meant the whole world or only Singapore coz although its a lot of red, it doesn't look like 10000 to me! (Ok, I just checked.. It was really 10000 JUST in Singapore! Cool!!)


Massage tents? I'm not very sure if people had to pay for this; I thought it was free but if it were then there'd be a fucking long queue and there wasn't, even after the run. Maybe its just some muscle relief thing only for injured people. (Checked. It WAS free massages! Damn.)


Free fruits and drinks! I was telling Jace she should just do her fav past time there. Just stand there and get free flow! LOL. Only 100 plus and water though.. But NEVER in my life have I loved 100 plus so much!!!

That small little orange paper thingy actually tells me my running time!! Cool or what?! I was just so amazed by everything..

Looking happy and excited but actually feeling crappy coz I slept so little and full coz I drank two glasses of milk thinking it would give me energy, only to realise it just makes me full. -.-
And the race starts! After 600m, I told Jace I wanna turn back and go home. LOL! Started to feel cramps and all.. After 2km, started to walk. And from there onwards, it was mostly walking.. Till we see our motivation!!!
DRINKS! Then we started running like dogs who haven't drank for ages! Other than that we just talked and laughed and did silly things like..

..Try to knock down all cups with one cup! LOL. Silly but fun.

My fav number!! I felt quite idiotic standing there taking pictures while everyone else was running in my direction, hence the non pose. But after that we saw two other girls taking photos as well so didn't feel like we were the only ones who could camwhore anywhere and everywhere!

Yay 9km! I loved reading the words on the board. All so inspiring and cute! Unlike the scary volunteers who kept screaming at us to 'jia you' and 'hurry up'.. They were intimidating! I purposely started walking whenever I was going to reach them so that I'd have the energy to run when they scream at me. =x If I was really shagged I might've punched them, or say what another girl said to them sarcastically," You come and join us run la!" But then again, most of them were nice and friendly.

Finally!! By that time my legs felt like jelly and I REALLY thought I was gonna sprain my ankle. Haha. When we reached the finish line they gave us a can of 100 plus (I think I drank at least one litre of 100 plus that day!) and a Nike Finisher wrist band, nothing fancy la. There was a concert but it was almost over by the time we finished. Lol. I just found my results online but will blog about that tomorrow..





We did it!! =D
