Weekend Report
Had a good weekend everyone?
The Terry Fox Run was rained out. The winds started whipping furiously at 5:30am and it kept raining and raining till about 7:45am. But my friends and I weren't about to be put off by a little bit of rain so we turned up anyway. By that time the rain had become a drizzle and the worst were the muddy puddles underfoot.
The most unfortunate thing was that the 8km run was cancelled. I found it amusing that they had a large banner stating "8km Competitive Run" while in their flyer said in no uncertain terms that participants should not push and shove as the run was "not competitive". A bit of a miscommunication going on?
But everybody knows the Terry Fox Run is for Cancer Research and everybody knows you should not push and shove anyway. The route was not well planned; the lanes were overcrowded; the spirit of the event was somewhat dampened by the rain; but it didn't matter, it was all for a good cause at the end of the day.
My friends and I had a good time anyway. We kept on running to the end of Siloso Beach just because we wanted to, made a U-turn back to the finish line, ate a banana and drank some water, listened longingly to the lucky draw prizes being given out, and then trooped off for breakfast at Tiong Bahru which was superb. Wan ton mee, chiu kway and teh-O bing... how could it not be a good day? ;)
Started and finished the project of trimming down my over-sized Sheares Bridge Run Tshirt. It is now a sexy sleeveless top! Very successful (at least until my lousy stitching falls out). Will post pictures soon once I get my camera, the cable, and the computer in the same frame of reference.
