I accomplished my goal of completing my first 10K, but not without the constant encouragement from my fellow friends and runners. Thank you all!
I enjoyed the cool night air, saw airplanes fly over our heads in the night sky, and prayed and thanked God throughout my whole walk/run. Though a shoulder and hip ache threatened to bring me down when I hit the 7km mark, I looked up towards the distant lights, enjoyed the presence of fellow lady runners and soldiered on.
Near to the Finish line, I pushed myself to run faster, and heard the shouts and cheers of the volunteers, then saw and heard cheers from Matt, then Graham, and got a pleasant surprise seeing my parents at the sidelines. Mum got so excited, she wanted me to stop for pictures!
Am definitely encouraged to run more than ever now.
WE DID IT! Hazel, Team Choo Power (Matt, Daniel, Graham, Jon), Timo, Sherman, Tian En, Joel Quek, Wei Loong, Bird. WE ALL DID IT!
Hey dear,
Good job! I’m so happy for you and I know the experience having run your first 10Km… It’s an accomplishment in its own… So run regularly now and you’ll find it really becomes easier over time… Yup we will run another sometime in our live… I want to try 15Km now since I’ve run 3 10Kms… Or maybe I’ll do another 10km but this time I’m aiming for under an hour… And once I achieve that goal, the next step would be to run 15km…
Oh yea! :D
Congrats once more!

I can’t believe it’s been so long…I have no idea if you remember me, but you were my first LJ friend. We talked a lot about the T’ang Quartet. *g* I was going through my old entries, which led me to your LJ, which led me to your blogspot thing, which led me here. How are you? Please drop me an email and let me know what’s going on with you! I really hope all is well.
