Yes, I've finally signed up for the run. Had waited till the very last minute cos I had been debating whether to do the full or half marathon this year. This will be my 3rd and even thou i very much wanted to go for the big one, I chicken out. I know lots of my good friends say Go For it. But friends, 42Km! Anyone running with me? Really no joke! The accomplishment will be sweet success but the run will be excruciating. I want to enjoy my run not to abuse my body for it. So that its, another half marathon this year. My one and only run this year. No 10k all women run. Just this one. So no more time to goof. From now till Dec, I've exactly 4 months to train up. How i am going to do it, i don't know. Just run run run and lots of running. No more bad weather, PMS or need to work excuses...Maybe should get Bez and Wes to run along...hmm, thats a thought :-)

I was all set to go for combat yoga and bootcamp this evening. But after being home since 2pm, i really dread driving all the way back to town. What more with the rising cost of petrol, it's really silly to go all the way for the class. Compared to Yio Chu Kang, this new place at Punggol is really way out. I really must have my gym bag in the car all the time and drop by whenever I have a chance between appointments. So instead of missing out on a good workout and then feel grouchy all nite, I decided to put on my running shoes and explore the neighbourhood. Of course I miss my Bishan Park and Esplanade. But this is not too bad. Even though there is no Singapore river besides and no greenery like in the park, there is still a good acre around. Its unchartered territory. Blocks and blocks of open field ready for future development. It will be even better when the waterway is ready. But of course that will still be a few years away. So all in all, I managed to run for 35 mi...

So so so happy that i managed to run for an hour today. I only covered 7.5km but hey, who's competing. I still did it! Had the gym bag in the car. Planned on going since appointment is so near to Great World. And then at about 11 plus Jaslyn smsed to say that she did 2 classes! Great achievement Jaslyn :-) With that call, I no longer have any more excuses for myself. I have to make it. It seems that we are so so lay back this year. I think except for Shirin, we have all been slacking. So I think motivation is good... Thank you Jaslyn. Daisy and Alex are now so busy moving boxes. That's work out too ;-p But really, why are we so easily please? Should we aim for higher target? Like maybe rock climb in the gym or better still the full marathon? I really hope to do it. But yet, i don't think i am ready yet. Maybe another half but full! Goodness gracious! thats across our little island. May be little island but to run across is not that little!
