StanChart Run

So, our mad over-achiever friend (and I stress "MAD"), Ajantis had been training to run his first full marathon this year in Dec, at the usual Standard Charted Bank Run. He said he'd only run it once in his life, never again - yeah right...... *chuckle* But he did lose a lot of weight in the process of training for it, so that's a definite yay (apart from actually completing the marathon, which then deserves a "WAH!").

Anyways, we all showed up bright and early on a Sunday morning to cheer him on. I think we were a little nuts that day - we grabbed the free sign boards the organisers gave out for us to write our messages to the runners, and climbed on board the Run-spiration bus. See, this bus was suppsed to take us to see the runners run, and hopefully to see our runner run right past us so we can cheer him on in the most embarressing fashion.

Well, somehow things got delayed, we tried to time it to very little avail, so we missed him running right past us. But the worse part is, we got stuck in the bus for more than 2 hours, coz the bus took us through the entire route of the marathon and got caught in multiple traffic jams. In the end, our runner got to the finish line before we could arrive (in fact, we were still about an hour away). *gasp*

Btw, about the note on that board - Theresa was miles away in Ohio, and did send a message via us to say Hi to Ajantis! So we meant it, kay! *haha*

What an excursion.
