Yes! I Did It!

Yesterday, Cordy completed her first 10km run in the 2009 Standard Charted Marathon Singapore! Who would have thought Cordy could still run at this age! It all started out quite innocently with a colleague asking Cordy if she wants to join the run this year. And since Cordy is not getting any younger, taking part in a long distance race has always been in her to-do list. So Cordy sign up for the run! And after a few practice session at home on her Aibi exercise machine, she was all set for the actual run. Note to readers: Yes! You can actually train on the machine! All you have to do is increase the resistant high enough, and it's actually quite a breeze when you actually run on the road!

Anyway, the run started out well with Cordy and her colleague CSW jogging relaxingly from the Fullerton to the ECP, a total of 5km run. After which they stopped and walked the next 3km, admiring the view, the atmosphere of the event, and drinking lots of free 100 plus along the way :P At the final 2km, starting from the floating platform, we continued our jog all the way to the finish line at the Padang. All in all, it took us 1.5 hours, and I didn't throw up any of my internal organs along the route! Well done!


At the end of the race, we were rewarded with a medal each. All in all, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, I'm all gear up for next year's run! Perhaps a few years from now, I will be fit enough to take part in an actual full marathon! Currently it takes me around 55minutes non-stop on my exercise machine for a 10km session. Go Cordy Go!
