To Shape Run or Not to Shape Run
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
That's the question that only Shape can answer. The organisers received an overwhelming response (which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fabulous prizes or the runner's kit worth $370 with only a registration fee of $15) from eager ladies for Singapore's first ever women only competitive run.
My running buddy informed me of the run in early May and we decided to take on 10km. She checked with me many times whether I'd registered as she hates to run alone. I always replied, "Soon." Was not too worried about it since deadline's 30th June.
Feeling assured, she promptly sent in her application form as mine sat on my table. Couple of weeks and reminders from her later, I finally completed my form and popped it in the mail box.
I took a quick look at their webpage on Sunday and noticed it was updated with the latest annoucement of not receiving any more applications due to safety concerns. When did the organisers make that update? I can only hope that it wasn't on the day I posted the form.
Or else I'm going to have to run more than 10km to get away from a furious friend. |
