Like how some people will go on a yearly sabbatical trip, for me, every year in December, I'll waste $40 bucks on a self-torture ritual known popularly as the Standard Chartered Marathon. -grins-
I am no runner and I am only crazy enough to run 10km because once again, let me emphasized, i am NO athlete. Crawling the 10km every year just makes me feel good as though I am some bona fide fit girl.
But in reality, I just think that joining Stand Chart every year, very got wind -laughs-
This year, despite my physical exhaustion, I still went for the marathon.
And throughout my journey, I was thoroughly entertained by the fellow 49,999 runners.
I saw couples running hand in hand together.
I saw friends cheering each other on.
I saw typical Singaporeans who die die will stop in their tracks just to take a picture on the highway with Singapore Flyer in the background. -_-"
I saw inspiring people who ran despite their physical disabilities.
Fellow runners who saw me, probably though i was insane.
Because with my iPod strapped to my arms and my eyes roving around to catch the above sights, I was literally smiling to myself. -siao lian eh-

And so i saw many couples with those encouragement tags tagged at their backs, proclaiming love and encouraging people to keep moving.
I thought about that it would be ultimately romantic if a guy have this tagged on his back as he runs...
I am running this 5km to get Annabel's number!
I am running this 10km marathon so that Annabel will be my girlfriend!
I am running 21km because I want Annabel to say yes to my proposal.
I am running the full marathon because Annabel will be my wife if I do.
I am doing the 84km because my wife says she will bear me a child when I complete.
I am doing the IronMan because I want another child.
Sweet right?
-swoons-
