The Orange Ribbon Run/Walk was held on 10th September, a Saturday late afternoon. There were both the 10 km and 5 km competitive runs and a 3.5 km walk. I signed up for the 10 km race. Another running buddy Chia (SY) also signed up and we arranged to meet...

I had registered and intended to support last year's edition of this race, though my plans were foiled by a painful bout of injury. This year's edition came with the addition of new categories - notably the half-marathon. However, for my less adventurous self, the 10km was a pleasant option....

I took a 3-week hiatus from my weekly races.  I was glad to have some time to recover from the injuries I had sustained.  Still, I got back to running short distance at slower pace by mid-week.  One week before the SSBR & AHM (quite a mouthful in full so I am...
