The Hope Run was organized to support the missing children. Registered this race under Intel Team, with a 50% discount.INTRODUCTION
The International/National Missing Children’s Day is observed in May of each year. It is a day to remember many thousands of small children who go missing or are innocent victims of abduction by strangers or by family members, worldwide. No matter what your run or walk speed is, come join us at the Kiwanis Park. Proceeds from this event goes to American Association for Lost Children, a non-profit organization that works for lost children.
Met Dr Sim and May Ling with their baby Jonathan.
Wore Intel Involved tee-shirt for the run. Saw quite a number of Intel runners, as well as volunteers.
Have not been running much, so wasn't expecting a great timing.
I was there early@slightly after 6am, way too early.. LOL. Anyway, I did some own runs around the Kiwanis Park. The Park is along Guadalupe Road, around 13mins from San Cervantes, so pretty near. It has a lasrge lake for anglers, and nicely paved tracks around the lake. ! reckon a loop is ~0.7miles, if I recalled correctly.
The race started at 7.30am. I think there were <200 runners. For such a small race, they even used an bib-attached timing chip, pretty impressive.
Did 7:30 pace for the first miles or so before I kaputted. Was pacing a runner and gradually lost sight of him. The last loop around the Kiwanis lake was tough, more so under the warm morning sun. Managed to complete the race at 27:09. Was quietly hoping to do a 26mins but I will take this anytime..
No race in plan now, so will ust slowly build up my stamina and fitness back..
