New Balance Run - 19th October 2008

Hi, just to share a little on how I prepared myself for the New Balance Run on the 19th of October and also to share my Blood Sugar Readings to illustrate the significance of Diabetes and Exercise.

On the 17th of October, I cycled with my friends at East Coast and covered a distance of 40 km that day. On the 18th of October, I cycled to Mountbatten to send my Bicycle for servicing and also to join my friend for cycling too.

After servicing my bicycle, my friend and I cycled to East Coast and to Changi. Had a break at Changi for 30 mins, had a 100 Plus Drink and shared Carrot Cake with my friend before heading back to East Coast and then made my way home. I covered a distance of 56 km. I slept at 1130, as I need to be wake up at 0530hrs the next day.

As the 15 km New Balance starts at 0745 hrs, I took the shuttle bus from Tanah Merah that brought me to Changi Exhibition Hall. After the Warm Up I prepared myself mentally for the run to try as much to run without stopping.

Apparently that tactic always worked for me, I enjoyed the Run. Managed to run 11 km of the Track and Trail terrain of the run but started to walk at the Sand Terrain as it is pretty difficult to run on sand. I managed to finish the Run with a Time of 1 hr 39 min 42 secs. I am glad to finish the run well, next year if I run again; I am aiming to beat my timing.
Cheers.
Marco
