The Benefit Of Being Tardy
Well, for starters it is not good to be late. Always, always try to be on time and punctual, kids!
But sometimes, being tardy has its benefits too.

Remember I mentioned in my previous post that I started my run 5 minutes after the Women categories were flagged off? Being late meant that I wasn't running in a pack. I wouldn't ever be in the first pack of runners but I guess being the last one is easier! LOL
And what did I get for being late?
A solo photo of myself at the Multi-Purpose Insurans Run 2012! Wooohooo!!! Nothing beats seeing a photographer in the distance, they'll make me turn my walk into a run; my almost dying, panting self to a smiling, happy one! Thanks KahWai for the photo! :) Click on his name to see more photos at the MPIB Run 2012. ^^
And this one, yeah - the face "senget" from trying to look like I'm running instead of walking up an incline. Muahaha
Credit goes to Runner Footprints for the pic. ^^
p.s. such a narcissistic post, eh? I didn't even do well during the run! huhuhu

ReplyDelete@SK,
ReplyDeleteNo lah.... but then, got "bonus" for starting late. Not applicable to all races though. No photographer want to wait all day for slow runners to pass by. ;p
That second photo? I saw the photographer already, then only start do running "action". Otherwise I also walk one! LOL "Gaya mesti ada" kakaka
The photos in this post are take by event photographer. The photos posted up in previous post were taken by the big one. Small one busy trying out free samples at the run. ;)
No run until Feb but so far no Feb event to be found for me! :(
