WaterLearner said...

Hallos Pink Elephant! Thanks for the good wishes! Yeah .. I am very proud of myself that I completed the distance.

How was your dinner with Ting?

WaterLearner said...

Ting,

I have to thank you and CH for reminding me to go for that training run and running with me. That run gave me confidence and a trial to gauge what speed to go to conserve enough energy to go the full distance.

My husband was dead against me still wanting to go for the run when I reached home just hours ago. But I insisted. My mom and sister even woke up at 4am to be there to cheer for me!

Doing this half marathon really makes me one happy girl!

Hi again

I would be proud of myself if I was you.

Dinner with Ting was lovely thanks. It was great to meet her.

WaterLearner said...

Pink Elephant,

Thanks for your wishes **blush blush ** I am indeed a little proud of myself :-)

WaterLearner said...

Ting,

I was a little half hearted about still going for the run when I reached home so late (or so early). But I am glad I still went. It was a very well-organised run I must say.

WaterLearner said...

Hallos Mother Hen ... Come troop with me leh.

WaterLearner said...

Ting,

My mom said she could really feel the atmosphere seeing all the running heading for the finishing line. She even asked my sis that they should join me next year!! Wow .. I would be so happy if they run with me! But it would have to be a 10km run.

WaterLearner said...

Bobo, Amel, Jan,

Thanks for the wishes! Jan, I get to keep the outfit and the shoes lah :-)

WaterLearner said...

Bobby!

Thanks for having faith in me :-)
