The Jinqiao 8km run

Yaaaay, I made it!

The 8km race went swimmingly on Sunday morning, and I was left with a nice feeling of achievement after crossing the finish line. I came 159th in the race, and completed the run in about 48 minutes. A bit slower than I was hoping, but I'm just glad I didn't collapse.

The most challenging part of the run, I have to say, was boredom. I shouldn't have expected anything more. After all, Pudong's concrete suburbia doesn't really lend itself to nice scenery.

And here are my fellow runners... Phil, Weiwei, John and Helen (who just asked me to train for a half marathon in November!). Next time, we'll get Brett to lace up and run too.
