Hello everyone. I had been popping into sgrunners since i was introduced to running by a colleague who has participated in runs for a longer time than me. this was last year. anyway, was popping in here mostly to check up on upcoming runs. Then today, i stumbled my way into the forum and feel much inspired reading the updates and entries by the runners on the SD marathon. i was there with my colleague who was supporting her husband. i was there...to support her and to absorb the experience of this first time event. i had forgotten about and had not thought of possibility of joining in the team/corporate run as there was no way i could do the marathon yet! oh well...
as i said, it was my colleague and friend who introduced me into running. had been working out at the gym before that, to bring down my weight for health reasons. and when she asked if interested in joining a 4k run by AWARE last year? i thought, no way i can run - i hate running!!! but i can walk...so i took it up and i did walk for the first 1 - 1.5 km and jogged the rest of it and since then have been hooked to running or jogging!!!!
i'm "slowcoach" cos that was what i was called in primary two and also it fits so well my pace of running, which i am fine with and hoping to work on improving it a little bit at a time...alright i shall not ramble on for too long...run on and have fun!
...
thanks for the encouraging comments. and i so agree with what you all say about speed or in, Bingham's words, "No Need For Speed". Ha. I rather focus on the process, the enjoyment i get from the scenery and sights and sounds (smells - not all kinds...) as i run. speedwise - i guess, as long as i am still within the cut-off time!
Have a good run this coming Sunday at the Passion Run!
