Singapore Bay Run'08

I was still in the mist of my sleep as i pull myself up early on a Sunday morning at 545am. It was going to be a long morning. Not the usual Sunday morning, this Sunday sees many on a train towards City Hall. The Singapore Bay Run / Army Half Marathon is going to be held there.
The crowd was sure overwhelming. With almost everyone from the SAF, the civilians wants a part of it too. This was the first time i ran with so many people. And i truly meant many. Start point was at Fullerton Hotel, overseeng the Marina Bay. A great scene to start a race despite the seemingly endless sea of people.
By 830, i had done my bit in the morning, finishing 10km in 50+ mins. Tired, definitely but an achievement for myself as this is the 2nd 10km run i finish this year. I know deep in me i could go further. Maybe next year, i would go for the 21km, who knows. Back home, i belong to the bed, totally. The body has worked hard and time for a good rest.
