Last year, I had an agreement with Calvin Chin that if I were to go for a half marathon at this year end SCSM 07, he must go for a full marathon. I guess he must have never thought that I will go for it..hahahah…. On Sat night, I received a sms from him asking if I wanna to join him to run at east coast. Well…I was considering quite a while with the fact that it’s in the evening and it’s at east coast which I’m not so in favour of. Also, he is going with his girlfriend who have just started to run (maybe it’s because of him :)) and could not run far/fast. And they both need some motivation to run long distance. After a bit of hesitation I agreed to meet up with him, requested that he pick me up from Bedok.

Looking at his gf, my first reaction was…..this is a typical Calvin Chin type of gal…J If I were to see this gal by the road side, I do think that CC would like this kinda gal…99.9%. Anyway, STOP commenting abt ppl’s gf. And so we started off our run somewhere near MacDonald toward the seafood restaurant, which is merely 1.5km. U-turn back and head all the way up to Fort Road. I have no idea how far, maybe just less than 5km one way. I dunno what happen but my performance sucks on the day. I was pacing CC for the first 3km and he soon departed further from me and chiong his way to the front while I slow down to do some stretches and enjoying the breeze along the jetty before I start to run again. I just dun have the ‘feel’ of running that day. Nevertheless, I continue to do a slow one towards Fort Road and bump into CC when he is on his way back from Fort Road which according to him it’s about 200m away.

I decided to u-turn and follow him back. He looks tired but continue to move on while I continue my slow pace back. Got stopped by a siau mei mei standing right in front of me with her arms open wide to stop me asking me to take a group pics for them. I was like……&E*#^e*#^e#r^(*!!!!!! Cannot see I running izit?!?!?!? Break my momentum only!! And so…I walk towards that group of siau mei mei, unwillingly snap a few pics, return them the camera and run my way back. I heard a few ‘thank u’ here and there but ANGRY….dun want to say “welcome” leh!!! Give them a black face..hahaha….. The fact that there are sooooo many ppl strolling along the path….of all people out there, why approach someone who is running!!! AIYOH….siau mei mei…..haiz……

We ended at McDonald again. Checked my time, it’s merely a 50 mins run. Given the pace that I run, I doubt we hit 8km…probably less. Hmm…..not a good and enjoyable run for me. CC looks very tired. He hasn’t been running that far. I’m feeling alright cuz I did not put in much effort throughout J Hmmm…sometimes running also must depends on mood…cannot means cannot. Just hope that I won’t have this kinda ‘mood’ on any upcoming raceJ
