5 Kilometers in the rain
At the insistence of David Lau, I joined the YMCA Corporate Team Challenge on Wednesday.
It was a 5 km run around the Exhibition Place per person. relay style.
This was to be a challenge for myself since I've never ran that far before. The furtherest distance I've ever ran was about 2 km, and that was when I was 9 years old.
The weather seemed great when I accepted the invitation. However the day of the run turned out to be humid and overcast. The rain started to pour as soon as I started running, and I was absolutely soaked.
The rain actually helped quite a bit. I would've drenched my shirt just as much with sweat, and the rain helped to cool me off. I just wish they didn't block my vision so much.
I finished the 5km in 24:58 min. Not bad for my first time I suppose. I have to admit running was actually more exciting than I had previously imagined. I think I will actually start to run more regularly.
