Orange Run 2010

25 Sept 2010

I remember my last marathon was in more than 10 years ago when I was still a kid. My mum used to bring us and participate such outdoor events with her friends and their kids too. We together hung out in all kinds of outdoor activitis such as marathon, aerobic, picnic and so forth.

These are the most unforgettable memories for me until now. Believe it or not, I still keep the certificates gained from a few marathon when I was a kid. And today, I got another one and there should be more than 5 certificates now.

It was Orange Run organized by BHP Petrol. Since it was free registration, I just participated without second thought. I was so grateful to have a colleague as my companion. Unfortunately, we splitted at the second kilometer of the route. She was not feeling well and not comfortable to run.

Finally, I finished my 11km marathon within 1.5 hours and my colleague reached 20 minutes later. I was really satisfied with this result since I did not train myself for this but only rely on my routine exercises such as light hiking, swimming and gym. I am proud of both of us for completing the run.

We have so many painful parts on our body now and we decided to go for a massage for the first time in SS2. It was really relaxing but at the same time painful when the staff massage on our "injured" parts. This was how we spent our interesting Sunday.
