CBD showtime

on Wednesday, November 28, 2007

It was a big big turn out yesterday at CBD. That’s probably the biggest turnout I’ve seen since joining the CBD run. About 60 of us. The pedestrian along Maxwell road must be wondering what race are we having…haha.. All geared up ready for the big day. Didn’t get to know everyone. By the time cooled down, change, everyone is slowly dispersing.

Together with the pacer team again, we surge towards Marina South following the actual route for this Sun but in reverse order. Everyone was briefed to ensure that they are running according to their marathon pace and not to chiong so fast.

Somehow, I am in good form today. I don’t understand why. I don’t know what’s the secret of being in “good form”. It just came naturally. I have no intention to follow any of the pacer but just go according to my own pace that I will be using this Sunday. I started with small steps but slightly higher cadence at the start, together with Jodan. Slowly, the engine got warm up. Was joined by Cobalt and DO. Cobalt was already sweating profusely just 10mins after we start and I haven’t got a single drop yet. He said this is nothing…later he will have his own swimming pool. Haha.. Not long after, I found myself to be following closely with the 4hr pacer. All the way after the steamboat area. I was running at a pace that is slightly faster than my norm. Don’t ask me what’s the pace. I dunno. As long as I’m comfortable, I don’t care much. About to exit Marina South, I think the 4hr is getting faster as I was pretty sure that my pace was quite consistent. Not too long after that, 4hr pacer is getting slightly further away from me and I’m all on my own…wohooo!!! I found myself in the middle of the 4hr and 4.30 group. Still can hear the conversation from the 4.30 group behind me.

Nevermind lah…Just run and right after the tunnel at the exit I was joined by Cfred (4.30 pacer) and some others at the traffic light. That’s like slightly around 1km to go. Still feeling good and all the way to White House. Overall, it was a good run. I managed to speed up a little than my usual pace and maintain throughout the 10km. Sweat like nobody business…hahaha…I like. Chatted with a few before leaving for the night.

After a good workout, went home and obviously a good shower will be ideal right??? Guess what……… I saw a freaking creature in my room right after I step in and on the lights!! COCKCROACH!!!!!!! Wah piang…Such a big one. Cannot scream, no one at home. What to do?? I got to do the job myself loh. Quickly go grab one magazine, fold it up and……”PIACK!!!” Smack and smack… Smack 1 time that creature was like running interval but a bit injured already. Smack another time. Lie flat…..Not moving….Bye Bye….. Go storeroom, grab the broom and off to the bin…J Job Done. Proceed with normal routine, shower and sleep as if nothing happen…J
