First 10km

Finally, managed to finish one run for this year. My first 10km run without much training :) Signed on the race with the intention of spurring myself to run more in the midst of hectic work schedule but it did not really worked out that well.:) Seemed like I really need to commit to a class now.

Finished the race in 1h 25 minutes with only one stop at 7.5km for a water break and a final sprint at the end of the finishing run. Little pat for myself on the back as the pacing and mental strength were much better than what I had expected. As most people had mentioned to me, it definitely made a difference when you are running with 14000 woman for a cause. I love the whole idea of a woman's run. My adrenaline was pumping and I felt a sense of accomplishment when I made it to the finishing line.

Coussy and I definitely wanted to do it another time. Not for the goodie bags anymore but simply because of getting ourselves into this healthy exercise and routine.A few more 10km before we went on to a half marathon.Hubs rolled his eyes when he heard this. I shall prove him wrong.:P
