So over the weekend, I was back in Ipoh for my very first 10 km run. One of my besties registered all of us for the run which was held in our hometown. It was the Perak Masters Run which was held in Stadium Indera Putera. On Saturday, my friend drove us back to Ipoh and we stayed in another friend’s house for a night. We ate nonstop on Saturday, trying to eat our favourite food since I hardly go back. Slept quite late as we were busy chatting and then woke up at 6am to get ready for the run.
Flag off was at 7.30 and we were done after 1 and 1/2 hours. I ran for about 4km and then I stopped and walked for a while. Then I continued to run again and walked a bit. 1.5 hour is pretty good for someone who didn’t really train for the run eh? It was awesome and I am glad that I participated. This is the first time I joined a 10 km run and also the first time I run with my childhood friends. It was great running on the roads that I grew up with. I passed my old kindergarten (St. Peter’s church), my primary school (Marian Convent) and the neigbourhood that I frequented. We even ran on the busy Tasik road. Yesterday’s weather was just perfect.
Yay we did it!
Right after lunch, we went out for breakfast at one of the popular coffeeshops in town. Can’t wait to go on more runs with my best friends.
