BIG WALK 2006

i attended my first BIG WALK yesterday! its a nightmare to wake up at 630am and snoozed all the way on the mrt to city hall. from there, ah long and me took a shuttle bus to national stadium. we arrived late, sleepy and lazy me just wanna take the goodie bag and take a cab straight home.

but tyrant ah long said "let's go" and afraid to hear the disgusted tone of his "what?" whenever i suggested i wanna go straight home, we crossed the starting line.

tons of pple , dont know from where?!

from there, my 2 hours+ nightmare started.

i almost fell asleep while walking and i felt like i've walked 3/4 of the journey when i saw a sign. 5 KM it read! another 5Km to go! i feel like u-turning on the spot. but i did what i had to do. i took a picture and pushed forward.

my orange balloons which accompanied me the whole walk

finally dear dear and me reached fullerton (the u-turn part) and we walked faster from then on. i cant wait to get back to national stadium with its carnival and prize-giving! yay! we crossed the finishing line at 10.40am!

how red my face was! darn the sun!

but one weird thing that comes out of all this big walk nonsense is i kinda hooked to this aching after-workout feeling. so much so that i joined the competitive run (5km!!) hosted by Shape mag this coming mid-july.


i think im mad. the last time i really run for a timing is in JC2. and i can only managed 16-17mins (turtle speed!) for 2.4km when im like young and fit at 18. at 24 (6 goddamn years later) now, i wonder if im gonna take an hour or so to complete the 5km run. ha. i hope the goodie bag booth is still open when i reach the finishing line!

anyway, the goodie bag sounds really good. check it out here at http://www.shape.com.sg/shaperungifts.html. anyone interested in joining/joined, pls let me know!
