Running - 2007 (Singapore)
It seems that there are more running events are coming up this year.
It is generating a buzz in Sgrunners and Singapore. It is good for all sports enthusiast and promote healthy lifestyle. This is a global initiatives and not just in Singapore alone. In fact, from what i have experience, Singapore is lacking behind many countries in terms of sporting events. Not just to the major powerhouse, but even to neighbour countries.
It has been a few years since i start to exercise/run. I remember signing up for all running events in Singapore a few year back. Now, i am more selective on the events. As time passed, our needs, objectives changes. I am more or less past the phrase that a race will push up the Adrenalins and eager looking forward to it.
Mizuno MF challenge in April. I heard there is this challenge many years ago and this year it has been revived. MF is my training ground and cause alot of excitement in SAFRA running club. Am i interested? NO! Alot of folks have asked me, whether i am signed up. I have been saying NO so far. I have been telling myself in a few occasions, to sign up since many running friends are taking part. It should be fun and provide an opportunity to try to break 50mins for 10km. I do not why, or maybe i know the reason(just refuse to acknowledge) for not signing up.
I am tried of taking part in events. Too much expectation from myself. I don't enjoy the race. I rather do training runs! Have to go into hibernation mood and let see how when i come out of it.
At current moment, i be very cautious to sign up for event.

mentality...is the problem of the brain... the reason Y pple dun enjoy race is they dunnoe how to enjoy the race....
I have to tok to some pple recently and very disappointed with their feeling when coming to events....
they mindset is as long as i sign up for a race, i am very stress because I must get a PB, if i dun get a PB, i will be very sad...i am disappointed whenever i hear this
that is not the way, even for elites to sign up for races, they dun race for PB for all events, some events are just used as part of their trainings and some are used as a time trial (time trial does not mean PB)
We, in this little red dot is already stressful enough during work, why stress yourself when come in running.
Want a PB, aim for a particular race....the rest can be part of your training run, it can also be a slow enjoyable event to accompany friends, to mix with the crowd and also maybe to help a friend to finish or even help a friend to get his/her PB....
running is life.....
enjoy running
enjoy life
