Orange Ribbon Run // Race Against Racism

I signed up for Orange Ribbon Run, not knowing what I was getting myself into and I'm so glad I did :) had my first ever 10k run and it's honestly so fulfilling idk I'm just very happy I completed it ☺️ if you knew me back in secondary school, you would have known that I would never sign up for a 10k run. I was so unfit. I hated running (not until O's period). I hated exercising. The only 2 times I run in a year was for mock napfa + the actual 2.4km and I couldn't even run 2.4km without stopping! I was satisfied with just a pass and my fastest was ~16 minutes hahaha coming into VJ and joining ODAC has made me a much fitter person compared to the past :))

(side note: I finally reached <13 minutes for my 2.4!!!!!!! :D YAY!!!!!!)

prior to the actual race, I was actually pretty nervous (like I had butterflies in my tummy thinking about it) because I've never ran 10k in my entire life before and I was so afraid I would die halfway (touch wood)







we were running under the relentless heat throughout and it was so hot I felt cold (if that makes sense HAHA) I honestly wouldn't have completed the run without my lovely running buddy Junel :) I'm so glad I have someone who has the same running pace beside me throughout the ENTIRE run so THANK YOU JUNEL 🙆💕 and also, something that kept me going was how we were running the route that sherman & I walked the other time hehe




It took us slightly more than an hour to complete and I felt super breathless and faintish afterwards but I really did feel a great sense of achievement :))


We decided to stand at the finishing line and cheered for others!!!!! Irwin was full of energy HAHAHAHA HOW DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY


And we got tattoo on our faces! :))
