Ready set go !!!

First before I get into details, I'm a long distance runner but I run really slow (it's practically jogging) and I suck at running fast! But I put myself to the test at a walk-a-thon at Mahaut's school, the Lycée Français Singapore. Kira, Mahaut and I all sat in the back of the taxi talking about how much fun this would be and who of Mahaut's friends are going to be there. The ride didn't take too long but once we got there I saw that Mahaut's school was huge! The Lycée Français Singapore has over 2000 students ranging from Preschool to 12th grade. Mahaut's school also has a pool!

Once we found the ticket stand we got our tickets and T-shirts then we were ready to start! The track to run was 400 m long and each time you run around the track you get a rubber band to show how many times you ran/walked around the track. This walk-a-thon is a fund-raiser. Mahaut had told me and Kira that you could also go around the track in heels to raise more money! I was ready to run but I wasn't thinking about the hot weather or how hard this might be. 

The first couple times around was easy but once we hit the 17th lap I got really tired! The heat had really got to me and I was soaked with sweat! But I don't think that all of the sweat was mine because when I was getting the rubber bands I was surrounded by a bunch of other sweaty people that were leaning on me and sticking their arms out to get a rubber band. It felt like I was surrounded by a bunch of huge smelly sweat sponges that were slowly closing in around me. 

After the run, Mahaut, Kira and I went for a swim back at the apartment building. We all had a lot of fun together!

I'll post soon so bye for now ! :)
