I did it!
On Sunday, 28 Nov, 2010 I ran my first 10km run for charity. All proceeds go to Unicef and educating children about AIDS and HIV.
As you may know, I've been training, and done three 10km runs during my training, plus all the other kms that I did added up together.
My family who ran with me:
from left - 1st and 4th - ran 21km
from left 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th - ran 10km
It definitely felt really great to finish the run, although I knew I could do it, but with many factors that are different to the conditions in which I trained (on the day it was in the early morning, there was the sun, there was a slight slope, there were thousands of other people in front of me - stampede!) so I thought that I wouldn't make my goal of finishing the 10km within 70 minutes.
I was feeling quite tired by the last 3km, and just ran through the finish line without looking at the clock. But from my watch, I think I finished within my 70minutes.
Today I checked online for the results, because each runner had a timer chip on their shoe and it will accurately time your run. Guess how long I took????? 1:00:39!!!! I'm so happy with that!
Now my goal is to find another run to join and keep on training. I hope more people will join me for the next one!
