Chapter 22-18: The 10km Dash

yesterday Daniel, Myat, Vikram, Nayana, Janice and me spontaneously decided to go for a charity run - Metta Charity Run @ east coast (http://www.metta.org.sg/mettarun2010/)

a special thanks to the company who sponsored us and also special thanks to YC for letting us know about this event. it was awesome.


Picture taken after the run. everyone is happy =D


it is my first 10km run after i've started training since january. i've finished it in 51 minutes. which is quite surprising. although i felt like dying after that. i've pushed myself to the max during the run. many of time i feel like just relax walk my way back. but in the end i still pushed myself to run by telling myself "this is nothing compared to the sundown marathon that will be coming soon. if i cant make this thru. how will i make it for the sundown?"

after completing, i've learned something from the run.

note-to-self:
never drink lots of water one hour before run. because you will start looking for toilet when the run just started.
do not bring ipod along. in the end it will only become a liabilities.

The Highlight of the Day
the highlight of the day does not go to me for finishing 10km in 51 minutes. but it is until i heard the story about what happened to daniel...

it all started the night/early morning before the run....

at 2.30am, me and myat were feeling hungry and decided to head out for our usual supper... (yes, this is how we maintain our figures...) then myat asked if daniel wanna join us. but he did not follow us.

at 3++am, we were done eating and head back. according to myat, daniel had 3 packs of noodles... no supper eh? =.=

then at 5++am, he tried to release what he had eaten. but failed...

at 7.10am, we arrived at the run side and daniel rushed to the toilet after having some 'feeling'... only to realize that there's NO TOILET PAPER. lolx. (i can't stop laughing after i heard this after the run.) but this is NOT all... he reaches into his bag and guess what he found? myat's towel. immediately he got a sense of enlightenment and "aha!"

*the following scene is disgusting, i shall be nice and skip it since it is easy to guess what happened after daniel's "aha!". there's only one option left for him anyway*

and the most classic one was myat's helpless facial expression when he know what daniel did to his towel...

the lesson learned:
never to eat too much before a run.
check if toilet have toilet paper before proceeding.
bring a pack of toilet paper with you all the time.
lastly... NEVER PUT YOUR TOWEL IN DANIEL'S BAG...

that's all for now. time to do some work.

xoxo,
