Racing Colours - Sheares Bridge Run & Army Half Marathon 2004

This will be my racing outfits for the half-marathon held this Sunday, starting at The Esplanade and ending at The Padang: Unbranded event running singlet and Asics running shorts.



I have initially wanted to have an Asics running singlet as my top for its good brand and not-too-expensive price. However, a delay in purchase and late notice of the Asics clearance sales left me with odd sizes for my money. It is a blessing in disguise I supposed since I already seen some runners wearing that same design during the Nike Real Run.

Earlier on, I have bought an FBT white singlet to complement my FBT black shorts. And with the non-availability of Asics, it is almost certain that I would wear these FBT outfits, which are intended for training runs. This is provided the AHM Running Expo, the pre-run event where runners will collect their number tags and event kits, has nothing to offer. This unbranded event running singlet caught my eyes during the Expo and I made it mine as a momento. But with such good quality and simple design, the FBTs will remain as training outfits for now.

As expected, I will be wearing my best running shoes ever, Asics Cumulus, for the run. This pair of shoes only arrived early enough for the Singapore Marathon in Dec 2003 and that means it will be her first run for this event.


For 4D yuppies, you may want to place a bet on my number tag. I do not know how you are going to make it into four digits, since it has only three digits. This applies to those who feel lucky too. If you lose, do not send me the tickets for claims. If you win, do not forget the charities.

In view of my lack of preparation, I have set no quantifiable target for this run. This is also to lessen the burden of my audience who really want to bet on my number tag. I walked a couple of times last year.... so possibly my target this year is just to keep running.

Log on this Sunday afternoon for the results of my run.
