Run for the Nation 2009

So I was being roped in by Alex Au Yong to be a support runner for RunNat09 which was happening on Saturday 10th Oct 2009. A few of us, Alex, Jacq, Judy, Alvin, Sarah and me from Team Powered by Jesus made up as what Alex called the “SWAT team”. We’re there to assist each team of runners to run and pray for their own 5km route. Each complete route made up of 8 teams, so that’s 40km. And there were about 26 of 40km route in Klang Valley that cover over a thousand km. For more info about RunNat09, click here.

Indeed there’re some teams with some runners pulled out last minute. So we’re there on time to do the “rescue”. Some of the route are quite crazy as we’re running just beside the busy highway. And being the “swat team” runner, I was being picked up half way through so that I’d be running with some other team at some other route with less runners.

The uncle on the left was the only runner that turned up in his team. When we started running, he told me that the last time he actually did a run was during cross-country back in high school. Yikes!

The run ended at PJEFC with a corporate prayer. After that we’re just so hungry and tired. Had an awesome thai food for lunch at an awesome thai restaurant nearby. (which also blown a big hole in wallet) Then we all went home and crash out for the rest of the day!

Judi and Alex pretended as Thai

Me and Sarah act kawaii. lol!
