JP Morgan Run : Apr-09

16-Apr-2009 was Singapore's JP Morgan Run and it was my second time participating in this event. I remembered the last time was in 2006 and I merely went there for a fun 5.6km walk and it took me about 60 mins.

This year, I took an extra 3 weeks effort to prepare myself for this jog and targeted to complete the race at about 40mins. I started off the jog a bit faster than my usual and when I was at the 3km mark, I was breathless! Uncontrollably I took a break and started walking to catch up my breathe... To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with myself but managed to pull up and started jogging again.

When I reached the final mark, my timing was 41:09, a minute more slightly but not too bad i thought... I was then told by a colleague who recorded the distance using his GPS watch that this year's distance was about 6.04km instead of 5.6km.. which meant that I actually had reached my personal target! Anyway, It had been great fun, and I am determined to bring my timing down to 35 mins next year.
