Last July 3 was the Yamaha Run for Heroes at the Bonifacio Global City. On why it's called a run for heroes, I have absolutely no idea. Any how, I got sponsored again and this time around, I challenged my ankles, knees, and legs on running the 10k. Another step closer to the ultimate goal of running a full marathon. (By the way, registration for the Singapore Marathon has already started but plane fares and the registration fee on its own is quite hefty so I might just have to postpone my plans for another year - we'll see...) Technically, this wasn't my first 10k as I was able to accomplish the feat twice before at my training ground. Read on the learn a few tips on how I managed to survive my first 10k.

I also insisted that the race route was bogus and that it was definitely more than 10k!
