The day started dramatically. I joined the run with Tan hj, Yammini, Thiru and a few others from my department. We gathered at Thiru's house at 7.15am. We planned to have nice light breakfast before the run which we thought would start at 8.30am (it said so on the FB page and on the ticket that we got once we registered).
At 7.24am, our boss Dr Nandhini called me to ask where we were as the run was starting soon but she did not see us around. I thought she was joking. Took some convincing for me to believe that the run was starting in 6 minutes! *&*^%%**&$&
Apparently the organizer updated on their FB page last night that the flag off time for us was at 7.30am. Did they think we are 24/7 on FB. A lot of people did not know about this.
We skipped breakfast and rushed to the venue. We got there 10 minutes after the flag off time. No breakfast, no warming up. Had to park quite far and walked to the starting point.
I am proud to say that my friends and I completed our first marathon (ok fine ,it was a fun run) in 45 minutes. I ran all the way, didn't even stop at the water station ok (writing this with a smug face, haha).
