Sore Muscles and All...

I went to the Nike Real Run at Sentosa yesterday. Part of me wanted to test out my mettle and determination. The first part of the 10km run was on a hilly road, which stretched from the starting point at the carpark to the beach. My muscles were aching with the buildup of lactic acid after the 4km road run, which consisted of a series of up- and down-slopes. I thought things would beocme better when I reached the beach but it turned out worst than I imagined it could ever be. I tried running at the beach but I stopped when I realised walking was actually faster. (Actually I stopped to walk to look at the girls...hehehe). I thought there was only one stretch of beach run, but to my amazement, there were 3, from one corner of Sentosa to the other!

The beach run or walk was the real killer. It dimmed, or rather extinguished, my determination and stamina. I was totally relieved when I saw the road! Needless to say, I chiong with my remaining strength, if any were left, to the end point, which was 2km away. Wow, I was ecstatic when I reached the ending point! My timing was 1hr 5min, not bad for a first-timer. The queue for the exchange of goodie bags was so long that it stretched from one end of the carpark to the other side. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I reached the exhcange counter, only to find out that I lost my race chip! Oh man, it sucks! And, the lady told me I had to pay S$20 for it(thanks to a friend who lent me the money) and the worst was I couldn't get the goodie bag. Sob sob. Seems like it was my unlucky day...well, at least I got to look at some babes. Needless to say, I K.O.ed the moment I lied on my bed(after taking a bath obviously).
