Long awaited Standchart Marathon 2010. Again have to run alone after a last min being "fly kite" by my friend :( But relief in a way. Cuz I am a poor pacer. I get tired easily following other people's speeed.The run was massive! Just running the 10K category has 20 000 runners. Along the journey down, whole MRT was packed with runners!! At Dhoby Guat station, its a sight to see two passage of people, one heading towards the North East line towards Sentosa and another one towards Orchard and City Hall.
The MC was good in spicing up the event at the start point. Seems like most runners are in groups making me slightly jealous!!! I think I should organise a FGS running team! hahha
Some thoughts running through my mind. People spent bombs attending motivational talks hoping to get motivated and break a new height in personal performance. I thought the best motivational event should be attending runs! Through the run, one gets energise. Get to know their body and mind better too.
Through perserverance and commitment, one breaks through the boundary of the physical body and toughen the mind. And a run does not cost more than $50!
The run is indeed massive. And I get the thrill over-taking people. Haha! I like the part when there is a long stretch of slope down the bridge.
Clock a timing of 1hr 12 mins. Never really tour the site after the run and just head home for another event!
