Army Half Marathon 06'
Monday, August 28, 2006 @ 3:52 AM

I just finished the Army Half Marathon.
Yup, the event which i love most and always looking forward to. The reason to keep me running and go for my trainings.

I did it, i ran the 21km once again. This time with a timing of 2hrs 9mins, an improvement of 14mins from last year's timing and 50mins ahead for the first yr i started.

The run was memoriable even though i'm running alone..apparently no friends are interested in the 21km.

Anyway, all d participants have to go thru a new route which consists of Orchard, Clemenceau Road, Havelock Road, Outram etc. However, due to these city areas, there are lots of junctions in the route and the traffic police have to stop the runners once in a while to let the vehicles pass. Lots of runners are quite fed up and were urging to go, shouting things like, "time is running out!" or "oi! go leh..!" to the traffic police.

This time i've got a better starting position than last year's. No pushing or physical contact with any runners..and tts gd =) more spaces to run in between. Also, i happened to see Calvin at the starting point.

Right now, i am still hesitating of joining the full marathon this coming december..thats 42km, twice the nightmare..not the fun! =x But no matter what, i'm pleased with today's performance..

Next year's AHM shall be below 2hrs~ =)
