Sundown Marathon 2008

Hello! So sorry that it has taken me 6 months to post this! Lots of new beginnings, opportunities, and adventures during the last 6 months! Of course the most recent was running the Sundown Marathon! It was an interesting race as it was the first time I've ever had to run up steps during a marathon... that took me by surprise but the novelty was fun though! I also got to run through parts of Singapore I've never been before... kind of played tourist a little =o) Starting a run at midnight was definitely a first for me! Am no night owl! Plus, I didn't change my circadian rhythm for this race so I started to get sleepy from the 30km onwards. So much for an adrenaline rush! It didn't work for me! hahahha.... Thankfully, I was pacing my training Angel who kept me entertained and awake throughout the race. Thank you very much, Angel! To all the wonderful supporters who stayed up to cheer us on, A BIG THANK YOU! Congratulations to The First Stride ladies who achieved and completed what they had set out to do! Well Done, Ladies! Give yourselves a pat on the back!! Congratulations also goes out to my training Angel - First marathon in Sub-4hrs! What an achievement! Guess the training experiments worked! hahahha...
