This run was previously known as NTUC Income Run 350 and this year they changed it to Income Eco Run which I thought it was great since their run support green initiatives like recycling and reducing waste. And this year they are encouraging runners to go zero waste. It was a great initiative on their part to promote sustainability among Singaporeans through this event but I felt that they could have done more in educating the masses on what exactly going zero waste is. Reducing waste by giving runners the options to carry a handheld water bottle instead of a medal is just a start. They also gave out woven-recycle…

Great Eastern Women’s Run 2015 : SOLO X YOLO
This marks my second time taking part in Great Eastern Women’s Run and I always felt that it is one of the most organized run I’ve participated so far. Last year’s run was the most enjoyable run because there were plenty of activities happening at the village right after the run. I remembered vividly that there were stalls handing out free apples, bananas, Subway sandwiches and other treats. This year there were fewer stores but like last year, it was organized. And check out their race pack! GEWR 2015 Race Pack I signed up for the 10K marathon and though I didn’t really train for the race by doing lots…

DC Justice League Run 2015 : The Day We Became Superheroes
This could be one of the most highly anticipated run by all DC comic fans where we all get to dress up as our favourite DC superheroes. I am not much of a DC comic fan as compared to my boo who is a huge fan of Batman. And by default, I am in team batman, of course. It’s 5 KM fun run held at Sentosa and I was glad that the flag-off time is only at 8 am but there are several waves of flag-off timings after 8 am for those late comers like ourselves. We were queuing up to board Sentosa Express which was hoarded by DC Justice…

Mizuno Ekiden Run 2015 : We Run As One
Photo credit: Mizuno Ekiden 2015 This had to be my first marathon of the year as I kicked start with Mizuno Ekiden Run that happened last Saturday on 18 July 2015, at The Meadows in Gardens By The Bay. It wasn’t just a solo run but a team run where a team of four is to complete a full marathon of 42.195 KM. It didn’t take too long as I gather my good pal Wynne and fitness blogger friend, Tracy who pulled along her friend, Jia Hui to race as a team. Each of us would run approximately 10 KM each, taking turns to run across Gardens by The Bay and…

Runninghour 2015: Run, Because You Can + Contest
We are a nation that loves to run. Some of us run in the name of fitness. Some of us run in the name of bonding and spending time with love ones. Some of us run in the name of adventure! And some of us just need to run away from our worries. We are indeed lucky enough to have a pair of healthy strong legs to run. But what about those who have difficulty in moving their limbs? From Hello Kitty Run to Colour Run, that’s how we incorporate fitness into our lifestyles. I particularly like to join those runs with a cause. Perhaps it’s a run for a…

Run 350 : Going Against all Odds
Beep. Oh no! It’s 5.30am and I’m still in bed. Beep. This time I was woken up by the sudden flash of lightning. ‘Gosh, is it going to rain? Not on the day I was going to run!’ I kept my eyes peeled on Run 350’s Facebook page for the latest updates and it was interesting to note that the participants are the ones who are giving us the updates of the situations. When the 21 km race was cancelled, I had no idea whether I should head down and brave the wet weather to complete the 10 km race or to stay put at home. In the end, my…
