newton challenge 2014

to wrap up the year, on the last sunday of the year, i did the newton challenge 15km. i have no idea how in the world i managed to convince these people to join the run with me, but i'm glad they did and i'm super proud of them. 




felix has a run-phobia. he cramps up all too easily, so im so happy that he actually joined this race to face his fear of running. 

tyler, well, what can i say, despite his denial, he can run. he managed a 1h 23 min time, which is pretty damn decent! 

kaxin, she runs on and off. she runs for the company and the food after, like most people do. i'm happy that she chose to join us for this. 

vinesh, it was a last minute decision to run for him, by me. one of our friends could not make it, so i decided he should step in, considering the fact he wants to run a full marathon next year. this would be great for him. 

luke, i'm so glad he came and join in the fun. the more the merrier right? 

karen and hanyang, well they run. so they didn't take much convincing. all i had to say was, there will be vouchers in the goodie bag nyehehe. 

so after constant pestering, and daily friendly reminders, they all signed up. 

so i remember my friend, jeff he was telling me this 'the route, its not hilly, but its more like elevation.' yeah the whole time i was running, i was thinking to myself, this is definitely not elevation, elevation is out of context here. this here, definitely is hilly. maybe because i've been running on track these days, the hills really got me, and they really got me good. 

whilst running, i bumped into spidey. i turned to my right and i was like 'eh, spidey!' 




i managed to place 4th, still can't get into the top 3 circle yet, need to try harder, next year. 




im super glad that everybody finished the race. and of course the best part is where everyone went for post-race-brunch together. 



what a way to finish up the year. here's to a better next year. may the running odds be ever in our favour.
