THREE O FIVE

The Sub-1:50 Squad When I registered for the Nike Run I was actually thinking to break my personal best or at least running a sub-1:30 but after a series of procrastination only I started my training 3 weeks before the race which was quite impossible for me to run a decent time. I could barely run a 6km at 5:15/km pace on the first few days of my training. So I thought why not take this chance to run with friends and just to enjoy the run. I knew many of my running friends HM standards were around 1:40~1:50 and based on my training records, my HM standard was around 1:42~1:45 too (LOL, I'm not lying OK!

I actually had a lot to consider as I had a 10km race on the next day, a very high mileage to achieve for that week and also a 30km LSD scheduled on that day so I was not sure whether I could afford another race or not even though I was told that this would be a fun run. It was an exclusive event, by exclusive I mean by invitation only. Based on the experience shared by the runners and glancing through their last year event photos, unlike most other typical running event, they made it like a party, it's so happening, so much fun and you wouldn't want to miss it. Many people would hope to join but didn't get a chance to, and it's an event organized by the big brand Nike, so I joined without hesitating much! They made everything kind of mysteriou...
