Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2017 Sunday, 03 Dec 2017 04:30 AM Ochard Road - Padang 42.195km

[idadee]

#Latepost Yesterday I ran for a different purpose - made a promise to run with my cousin and so I kept to it. • I cannot imagine if I had left her by herself; if she was able to go through the whole HM without giving up but I was glad we did it together. • I bumped into Jude, Kak Efah, saw the Kenyans run past us, I got mistaken as a volunteer twice and got hugged by a fellow runner for helping her (but I like to help so it is all good). It was a very refreshing run. • So it did not matter if I did not manage to keep to my target of 3 hours. I am just super happy to see my sister finish the race. ☺☺ #sisterstickbyeachother #SCSM2017 #21km

It was a great run this morning. We may not be able to complete the full marathon individually, but together, we did it as a team. 👏👍💪 #paptampinesnorth #scsm2017 #running #teamwork #ekiden #runninghour @paptampinesnorth @janessa_xueqi @jiamingtay @sgmarathon

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2017

Singapore’s premier racing event, Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2017, is back in town and this time, I decided to challenge myself to a 10KM marathon so as to motivate myself to maintain a regular training regime to stay in shape for my DJ adventures. The early bird catches the worm and my reward is a view of our beautiful city waking up to a brand new day.

After a long wait on the Esplanade Bridge, I was finally able to embark on my 10KM challenge at around 7:30am. With dark clouds looming over the city, I knew that I had to pick up my pace to avoid getting caught in the rain. During my journey, I was kept amused and encouraged with the motivational quotes displayed for each kilometer of the marathon.

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

“Run with your legs to be fast. Run with your mind to be faster. Run with your heart to be unstoppable.”

“Life is short. Running makes it feel longer.”

“It’s what you do in the dark that puts you in the light.”

At approximately 9:00am, I finally reached my destination and I was greeted with loud cheers from the crowd, heart pounding music, and snarling queues to collect my well-deserved finisher’s medal and a quick photo at the podium finish.

Special thanks to all of the event organizers, sponsors, and volunteers for making this marathon a great success.

Looking forward to overcoming a brand new challenge at a future edition of Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon!

6.8 of 42.195KM / today i was part of a full marathon to champion hope over pain! it was the littlest things that really #GMH — old ah peks jogging, people looking out for friends and cheering when they’re finally in sight & athletes sacrificing PRs to help a fellow cramping runner make it past the finish line. wouldn’t have done this (and in 45 mins!!!) without the rest of the panadol team! here’s to 10KM next year... maybe. #SCSM2017 (at Padang, Singapore)

My 26.2 miles journey

It is every runners dream to cross the finish line under the full marathon category. In 2015 I get to know in social media Harriet Thompson who cross the finish line at the age of 76 and a cancer survivor. I am amazed by the fact that she did it and she just wanted to help her community raise funds. From then on I also dream of one day I will cross the finish line. Fast forward I have running friends who initiated the idea of doing a full marathon and I just laugh about it and told them to wait until Im ok after ironman. Around April of this year, something has struck me and decided to sign up for the distance since  SCSM is a race that gives back to community like GIVE ASIA and knowing that our Bro. Don is seeking assistance under it I decided to join the cause and spread his battle. I did not know yet how to train for it as I have another goal in mind which is to finish the run strong in ironman and also to complete the training program as pacer for GEWR 2017.

During our pacer training I followed diligently the training schedule and squeeze in a little more distance to build mileage for full marathon. Good thing Running Department help me in achieving my training goals learning about running drills and good form of stretching. It was not an easy journey but for the love of running, having new friends and learning something new in every session makes me look forward to it.

After our pacer duty I focus with my full marathon training which is less than a month. I have to skip other activities and isolate my self to work and training. For me doing all of these is a talent I have to master and a responsibility I like to do which highly involves time management and dedication. Along the journey I was happy to meet people who have experienced running the distance and shared with me their trainings and preparations that I will always remember and I am grateful.Two weeks before race day I got sore throat and the weather became uncooperative it was crazy knowing I have to catch up with my training  but I don’t have a choice but to take medicines and pray harder to let me get things done.

December 3, 2017 our race day has finally come, woke up at 1:45 am got myself a good breakfast and went to the starting line.

                                                    26.2 flatlay

                                 Glendys of GE Pacer 215 as my seatmate

Walking to the starting point of the run, and Orchard giving us this Christmas spirit vibe before the flag off.

Asked Bro. Gab to lead a short prayer before we run our own race and time. Then he asked me when’s our next race gonna be....

The first part of the race is in Victoria Street heading to Arab St. and Haji lane we were greeted by a cheering squad and live performances of music which help me get into the momentum of my run. I printed out my own pace band same with what we have during our pacer training to help me control my run, avoid getting excited and to remind myself to trust my training, but of course it didn’t really happened as planned GPS was a total mess which become ahead by atleast 1.5km so I just have to see my pace band against the distance markers. Nonetheless  I was amazed to see the scenic route of Singapore and enjoy every view specifically the sunrise at around 15km the half and full marathoners have eventually split up in the route and I told myself this is a test of endurance. Before I know it I am back in ECP where I use to train I am amaze that there are a lot of spectators and crowds cheering for us offering gummy bears, gels ice candy and sponge a fellow runner even ask if there is Durian. :D Then I manage to see my choir mates  I call their attention before continuing with my run after the U-turn point in the 23rd km mark they waited for me and cheered as I pass by them there are also live bands along the way that kept us entertained I thanked God for allowing me to pass the first half of the journey but somehow along the road I am feeling tired and ask my self again why am I doing this and prayed to God. I look forward running to reach the 36th km mark to see some familiar faces from Running Department and Anjali handed me my requested Gummy bears and while some of the half marathon pacers and my training mates gave me  a high five and they cheered for us while we continue to run that helped a lot even though I just wanted to cry and stay with them ^_^.  As we approach the 37th km mark I see an uphell road and told my legs we’re dead :P Few km’s to the finish line the 515 pacers is already behind me and I see our mama Tracy joined them and telling runners to keep going somehow I tried to cope and run along their side then walk and push my self in the last 500m. 

Alas! I cross the finish line extremely happy offering prayer to God. Manage to thank the pacers for their push and uplifting spirit. What a surreal experience to cross the line and become a marathoner. My training and sacrifices has paid off and thankful to my family and friends for their prayers and support. 

This experience has taught me lifetime memories and values in life... some of them I listed below

1. Always move forward and never backwards.

2. No matter how hard life can be you will get through it just like running.

3. You get to learn from experiences the blister, chafing and little wounds will eventually mark and have a story with your journey.

4. It boosts self confidence, I was never born a runner I just tried and voila its one of the best thing I ever did.

5. Not everyone does it so give yourself a pat in the back.

6. Talent is cheap but hardwork is essential.

And of course the road to recovery can be daunting and overwhelming....

Best place to carbo load, thankful for their support from helping me carry my things instead of doing bag deposit, a place to swim and celebrant that treat us Life is good and so my friends :)

Overall it is a good experience to run my first full marathon with #scsm2017.

Trending on Twitter right now is the #SuperMoon 2017 with over 57k tweets. On the 3rd of December, the world was treated to the only Supermoon sighting of 2017 where the Moon was exceptionally large and bright as it’s at the closest distance to Earth.

The most recent Supermoon was around a year ago on November 14, 2016 and the skywaters will be even more excited to know that there will be two more Supermoon in 2018 – January 2nd and January 31st.

In case you’ve missed it, watch the Super Moon in action here!

Spectacular timelapse video captures supermoon setting Sunday morning over the chapel at St. George's School in Middletown, Rhode Island. December's full moon appears bigger and brighter in the sky as it sits closer than average to Earth. Sunday's moon is the first of three consecutive supermoons. The next two will occur on Jan. 1, 2018, and Jan. 31. #supermoon #moon #middletown #ri

Ever since Disney first released news that they would be remaking Mulan set to release in 2019, everyone has been debating and anticipating the final casting for the lead role. Numerous names were suggested and finally, just a couple of days ago, it has been confirmed – Chinese Actress Cystal Liu Yifei will be our next Mulan!

For those familiar with Crystal, the 30 year-old actress is clearly a popular choice for the lead role. With over 53 million fans on Weibo, not only has Crystal starred in various top Chinese films and drams, she has also appeared in Hollywood movies – The Forbidden Kingdom, Outcast.

  #WorldwideHandsomeDay

For those who saw the hashtag on their social feed, you may be wondering what could this hashtag be for. Well, it’s probably not surprising for those familiar with KPOP but for the rest of us, who is this mysterious man that could live up to this hashtag.

The answer is: Kim Seok Jin from BTS and…

It’s his birthday today (4th Dec)! Over the weekend leading up to his birthday, fans from all around the world gathered on social media to dedicate their birthday wishes to their Jin. You may be wondering though, how did the term WorldWideHandsome come about? This may be one of the origin where Jin cheekily calls himself Worldwide handsome to a zombie (?)!

zombie: ???? jin: “jin sticker, it’s me, yeah worldwide handsome” zombie: *all smiles* #WorldwideHandsomeDay pic.twitter.com/uwlxxi2xYv

A post shared by BTS official (@bts.bighitofficial) on Sep 7, 2017 at 8:00am PDT

Recently, BTS as a group has achieved some amazing milestones internationally. In May this year, the group’s extraordinary popularity on social networks led to its first Billboard Music Award win for Top Social Artist. Following after and since the release of Wings album, BTS’ popularity has grown tremendously in the States as well.

In September, BTS achieved the first first ever top 10 for a K-pop act on the Billboard 200 albums chart with Love Yourself album ranking at number 7. Later, their top hit “DNA” made its first entry to Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, debuting at number 85.

For the first time ever in the U.S, Seokjin’s solo Awake was played on the U.S radio station 103.7 in honor of his birthday. His solo is the only solo by BTS that has been played in the U.S! #WorldwideHandsomeDay pic.twitter.com/wM4ETbzrBJ

— Britany ♥️ Seokjin Day (@btslove_britany) December 4, 2017

In November, BTS was even invited to perform at the American Music Awards 2017 and their hashtag #BTSxAMAs trend worldwide on Twitter. BTS has definitely made a name for itself in the international music space, the same goes for all its individual members. In honor of Jin’s birthday, US radio station even played his solo. On Twitter alone, there are over 1.5 million tweets just for him!

So in celebration of #WorldwideHandsomeDay have this thread of videos with all of Jin's lines from every BTS MV to show him some love pic.twitter.com/3X3N5ez2jV

When else would you get almost the whole city closed off for a weekend of events that brought 48,000 people from all over the globe together? Only for The Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 💯 . A rare opportunity to be standing on the street at Esplanade Drive at 5am, ushering in the marathon runners just before sunrise! 🏃🏻‍♀️ . Despite the 3am call time and having been on my feet for 9 hours straight, I’m so grateful to have had this incredible hosting opportunity. I’ve learnt a lot from my fellow international cohosts Whit and Chiqui as well, and I truly hope to link up with you guys again! 🖤 Glad to have hosted Singapore’s biggest running event with you guys! . #SCSM2017 #marathon #singapore #asia @sgmarathon @stanchartsg @underarmoursg PC: @nicolequek

Closing the year strong!!! 🏃🏽‍♀️ It was my first time taking part in the Standard Chartered and I opted to do the modest 10k because truth be told, I didn’t train. 🙈 With all the work and traveling I’ve been doing, I guess I just wanted to prove to myself that when you put your mind to something, you CAN do it. No matter how tired or lazy you are. No matter how much you’d rather sleep in on a Sunday morning instead of waking up at 6am. It was a wonderful experience and watching the THOUSANDS of people all running together this morning gave me a renewed love for the sport. Can’t wait to start training (properly this time!) for next year!!! Congrats to everyone who took part today!!! Now we’ve TOTALLY earned our Christmas feast! 😝🎄🍖🥔🥩🧀🍗���🍾 #NikeRunning #RunSociety #JustKeepRunning #JDISunday #SCSM2017

STANDARD CHARTERED SINGAPORE MARATHON (19/20) “NAILED IT!” • I’m so so proud to share I achieved my targeted time of finishing 42.195KM in less than 4H30MINS. My timing according to the Gun Time Clock: 4H27MINS. NAILED IT! Go ahead and search my bib number: A15847 🙂 • How it went: I started my race a little too fast. I ran 21KM in less than two hours (1:52:49). Then, the 22KM – 30KM stretch at East Coast Park happened. I felt my left calf cramping up, and had to slow down to accommodate. It eventually cramped up and I had to stretch which took awhile and added a few minutes on to my timing. • I had to walk/jog from the 30-35KM mark. The cramp subsided but by then my legs were on shutdown. It was a very demoralising 35-41KM jog as I was under the impression that I wouldn’t be hitting my target time of finishing it in less than 4H30MINS, and going up The Benjamin Sheares bridge is a nightmare after running 36KM. But nearing the finish line, I saw the huge gun time clock say 4H26MINS. So..I ran for it. Literally. And nailed it. Thank you so much for all your messages of support and love. They kept me going! 🙂 • @sgmarathon @mediacorp @toggle_sg @987fm #987FM #Singapore #SCSM2017 #sp #running #42KM #scsmJO
