Garfield run 2014

*back dated entry*

i guess most people would have known by now that the Garfield run was held on 19th July 2014 at MBS area.... i am not the running marathon sort but this is something new and the distance was not super long so thought can try something new... my bf and I signed up for the couple run which cost $85 for both of us.... personally i felt paying like $40+ to run is quite ridiculous but haha i joined in the crazy gang.... so for this run you will have the garfield tee, race tag, garfield draw string bag, garfield soft toy, note book & some vouchers.....

garfield tee & race bib

soft toy + note book

for our couple run, the distance was 5km, fun run was 3km & one more family run or something which was 2km+.... to me 2km is like want to die already i seriously cant imagine myself running/walking 5km....

stage mascots

race tag

so the run was held at Promontory @ Marina Bay... which was this field opposite those CBD building or the area near MBS.... the couple run flag off at 5.30pm so that was abit of evening sun....

garfield run route

u-turn mark

.so you can see the route was running from the bridge to MBS, pass by gardens by the bay, u-turn at marina barage & back to the bridge.... for those frequent runners, 5km is no kick but for lazy ass like myself.... it was a TORTURE!!! i only managed to run 1km non-stop, subsequent 4km was a mixture of 70% walking & 30% super slow jog..... but i think we managed to finish the run in about like 40min+??!?!?! i didnt keep track of the time but i guess it was around there....

finisher medals

only the couple run participants will have the finisher medals.... quite cute i would say.... then it happened that the very same day there was NDP rehearsal... probably the one for primary school kids so as we walked towards city hall to get our dinner... we saw the fighter jets fly passed...

hello helicopter

bye bye helicopter

so after that we walked to raffles city for dinner... by the time i reached the place, my legs were super jelly.... & it ached for afew days... haha..... we had dinner at soup spoon union....

some chicken thigh with creamy curry sauce

meatless minestrone

the tag system...

everything but.....

 so the soup spoon union now has afew more stores inside.... so we tried that vietnamese chicken thigh noodle.... chicken was tender but the sauce was too spicy & creamy..... we also gotten this "everything but..." from the western store which i forgot the name.... i dont understand why the dish is called such a name... but when it was served i was abit shock to see the product.. this plates of fries cost $14.90... like what??? fries with cheese + egg+ sour cream cost so much??? then we realised there were hidden treasures... beneath the fries were some sliced sausages & shredded beef stew.... i mean ok la... you have more meat inside but they were way too salty... so i dont think i will order it again....
