Global City Run
Sunday, April 29, 2007
Argh! As I've said before, I have no hope of beating my 1:06. I finished 10k with an embarrassing 01:17:I-don't-care how-many-sec cuz it wouldn't change the fact that I was such a loser. Hahaha! Well, I'm gonna start finding alibis right now:
1.) I only got to do 2 short runs prior to this race after more than a month of absolutely no running.
2.) When Mon told me to go ahead as we approached 5k, I decided to turn to my iPod for company. Unfortunately, after 30 seconds, it died down. Stupid me, I didn't check the battery the night before. I just can't run long distance without music or without anyone talking to me. Gotta work on that.
3.) The heat was extreme after 5k and it was just 6:30. I think I walked two kilometers while I let the sun burn me up. Really, I wanted to take my shirt and pants off ( I got a new cute pink Nike sports bra anyways. Hahahaha!). Next time I'll wear shorts and my KOTR singlet.
4.) My ankle had this uncomfortable feeling again. It's probably from my shoes. Gotta find a better pair soon.
5.) Umm, I'm just simply out of shape. Haha!
It was nice finally meeting the other H@ppy Feet Runners– Joms, Chester, RC and Tisha. Hope to see the Brent, Raf and Julita on the next run. And gotta thank Leo for running the route again for me. I was on the verge of walking untiI get to the finish line. Nice to have a moral support when you feel like giving up. Will I ever have a "wing"?
Oooh!!! It feels so good to stretch!
