回顾零八 May - Aug

May 17 JAPAN TRAILWALKER
Kickstart the 2nd quarter with an ultra-distance event. I signed up for this event quite soon after Tokyo Marathon. Hahah....did i miss Japan that much? *wink*

At the 21st km, my ankle injury decided to make a comeback and extended upwards...just before my calf. Thru this 100km, i also discovered that i need a lot of sleep! I can just "collapse" and sleep anywhere. See this pic? I was so sleepy that i just went to the side of the trail and laid down for a good 5-10min nap. Looking back, i feel kinda guilty for having made my teammates wait for me in the cold.




June 06 MEIJIN'S BDAY & GE 10KM
Yeh! I finally got 2 of my good friends to run! It was presented to Meijin on her birthday, packaged as a business proposal. We even made a short video clip. Of course, i came up with the bright idea and got Charlene to agree (a little reluctantly..hee).

In July, I started taking up running classes conducted by Fifth Ray under Swee Kheng. After running for a couple of years, i thought why not try professional coaching and see if my running improves.

In the same quarter, i did VGO Mount Faber Run, Shape Run & SBR. It was also during this time that my sugar level dips frequently during runs.










June 08 INAUGURAL SUNDOWN MARATHON
The sgrunners set up a support booth for this inaugural event. And since many of my friends were participating, i decided to chip in some help too. Anyway, i was recuperating from my JPTW injury. Even if i wasn't down, i seriously don't know if i will enjoy running park connectors + East Coast Park + Changi coastal TWICE! Hehehe.
AUGUST BABIES - 17th & 20th
Celebrated birthdays of Cecile's Prince Ryan & Joanne. Look at their birthday spreads!
Baby Ryan has got a nice Sesame Street birthday cake from Ang Mo Kio whereas Joanne got 38 peanut-ty stuff! Ah Ping came up with this brilliant idea. Poor 大姐 puked twice later that night but her liking for peanut butter remains undiminished. U go ger! :P
