adidas Women's Run ~ A monthly get-together run that women can call their own!

Thank you very much for joining us, Ladies! I enjoyed myself meeting, running, and sharing with all of you at the run today! I sincerely hope you did too! Although I did not get the opportunity to speak to everyone personally, I hope in time to come, I will get to know everyone better and learn all your names. *fingers-crossed* I am quite bad at remembering names so it may take me a while. To me, the run was a great success!! I thank you all for your wonderful support and positive attitude! It was a new start to running for some while for others it was a test of where your training has taken you. I would like to Congratulate The First Stride ladies... as they have all achieved their personal best run times today!! Well done and keep it up, ladies!!! And of course a very BIG THANK YOU to all the staff and helpers of adidas without whom the run would not have been possible! See you all again on 22nd July at Suntec City and hopefully we will have more ladies joining us! Til then... Keep running!

Appearance in Urban

The Straits Times section of Urban had a small feature on me today! My partnership with adidas on the Running Clinics for Women was announced. When I logged on to my email this morning, to my surprise, I had two emails enquires on the clinic! My first thoughts were "WOW! That was quick!!" I truly thank the ladies for giving us such an immediate and positive encouragement! It is definitely an excellent initiative to help women get active and started on running! I look forward to running and sharing with all the ladies at the clinic! See you all =o)
