SCSM 2008


My colleague and I went for the 10km run last Sunday. This is my first SCSM and decided to just start with 10km for the fun. Anyway, I have not ran 10km since my time in Officer Cadets School (OCS). My colleague and I originally targeted to train weekly but as usual, been very caught up with our daily work. So, we went for the run, totally "cold".

The run started at 7.30am at the Singapore Esplanade. The morning weather was clear, with slight breeze - a great start for the run. This year's SCSM registered a record number of 50,000 runners. The place was filled with both competitive and non-competitive runners, young and old.

The first 6 km was ok for me i.e. I jogged with ease. My legs started to ache for the last 4km. So I have to walk and run several times until the finishing point.

Overall, the SCSM was a great big group run in a scenic route. Will surely come back again next year - hopefully for the half-marathon :-P
