How come there were no publicity on the World Harmony Run? It should make it known .. like the Racial Harmony Day.. well ... the public need not have to join in for the run but at least knew of the occasion, so when the elite runners ran pass them, while carrying the torch , they can applaud and give support...
But not bad... got pple fr KL came down ah... thanks to TLR blog.. i think his name was Max , came down supposedly for Kylie's concert but was cancelled, read TLR's blog and registered for the run...Kevin ran with me throughout the 1st 4.8km at MacRitchie. I started too fast , and found myself gasping for air in the middle of the run. I had difficulty in breathing, i think my sp 02 level could be lower then 95%. Slow down and took deep breaths. Didn't bring my inhaler that day.
Rested a while at the carpark, while at the meantime. the elite runner continued with rest of the 30km, stopping over at temples, salvation army, mosque and all... I wanted so much to participate, to run together with the elite but I know that I am not up to it.. but still i want to try.. so asked the official for the programme sheet.
We took the bus to Ceylon Sports Club and waited for the runners, and we joined them after that. We did not plan for this extended running .. cos we had plans in the afternoon. But since it's a once a yr thing, why not? Kevin was supportive but i know he was quite worried that i might not be able cope with the runners whose pace was so super duper fast, and mine was like... hai.. super duper silow to the max...
Anyway, i enjoyed the run. Ran short distances, as for the last 10 km, i didn't manage to, gave up at Nicoll Highway. Kevin continued.
Besided Max, got to know a few people. One of them, the only girl runner- 28yr old, Ms Shyuan. Also at MR, made friend with Ms Jelene.. a frequent MR runner.
I am just glad to have done this with Kevin, cos most of the running events are held on Sundays, and he won't be able to make it. Looking forward to next run with Kevin, the Olympic Run, 3.8km, and it will be held on Saturday, 2 July.
The following day, will be the Milk Run.
Then the following day- 4th July, start of new semester!
