I've finally completed my Newton 30-km race! I wasn't really happy about what happened during the race though, due to being under-trained, running too fast in the first 5-km costs me dearly and taking too many breaks and water breaks often but nevertheless, a timing of nearing 2 hours 51 minutes for my first 30-km. I've also created a new PR in the 21-km mark when I crossed it at around 1 hour 50 minutes. The last 10-km was hellish for me as I was not prepared for what's coming next. What seemed to be 'just a short 10-km' became a hell of a pounding on my feet, in which, forces me to walk-jog-walk almost all the way. Then I've paced this young girl, around my age, maybe a little older to the 28-km mark when I lost her due to severe fatigue. But still, what happened has happened. I only can put my 100% into the upcoming 15-km trail-sand-road race real run this coming Sunday.
Gear that helped me during my run, excluding the second pair of Nike Free Run I've brought the previous day before the race shown in the photo.
I've found the Nike Free Run 7.0! But unfortunately they didn't have my size of 9.5. I would have brought it on the spot then! Then again, I guess I'm going to get my Newton Distance shoes first by the end of this year.
Caught the wonderful movie, Eat Pray Love with Adeline. It was a great movie (:
Next, a much deserved dinner with her after Newton 30-km at Jurong Point,
DIN TAI FUNG! :D

I've got to the library to return/borrow books today when I came by this interesting book in Popular. It was too much of a distraction and I just simply couldn't not resist it. So...
I'm going to read it after I'm done with my library books! (:
