May 30, 2010 Nature Valley Run

I kept on tossing and turning, the night before the race, as a result, I only slept for just 3 hours. At 1am, I was awake for my usual pre-race meal, consisted of a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee. By 3:30am, I left for the Fort, to avoid missing my gunstart. It was 4:30am when I got to the assembly area. I listened to my "running playlist" on my mp3 player while I watched fellow runners did their pre-race rituals.

I had a smooth run with just 3 hours of sleep and no practice runs the week leading to the race. I hit my left knee at the side of my bed and feared that it might got worst if I ran during the weekdays. Having clocked 28:13 in my 5km race, I was relieved because it was still faster than my first ever 5km race which was 29:23.
