[GEWR 2015] Welcome session of #RuntoLiveGreat

Image
This year, Great Eastern Women's Run ( GEWR) 2015 celebrates 10 years of empowering women to live healthy and great through running, and at the same time, to commemorate SG50.   Thanks for the invite! This year, I was not part of the  #RuntoLiveGreat programme, but I will still participate in the Great Eastern Women's Run (GEWR), which will be taking place on the 1st November of 2015 at The Float@Marina Bay . I attended the welcome session of  #RuntoLiveGreat  together with the selected 80 pairs of participants which was held at  The Luxe Museum. During the welcome session, we had the chance to meet up with the  #RunToLiveGreat  influencers, Cheryl Miles and Kelly Latimer and the most inspiring pair from last year’s edition - Zann Soh and her mom, Teo Yok Wan. The female pacer Ranjini Mei Hua was also there. They shared their personal experiences and tips to encourage the participant...

My running journey continues with Great Eastern Women's Run

I signed up for the  Great Eastern Women's Run race, which is Asia's largest women-only on the 9th November 2014.     This year, my race pack was delivered to my doorstep. Thanks so much for making this arrangement for me, and I appreciate it loads! It consisted of an Adidas tee, a Tupperware Eco water bottle, race bib and finally, some sample products and discount vouchers from the sponsors.     I met up my running buddy, Tracy at The Float@Marina Bay as she needed to deposit her belongings at the baggage counter. As for me, as usual, I have my Baby to send me to the race venue and I left my belongings in the car.   The race started at the Singapore Flyer and finished at The Float@Marina Bay . This year, the crowd was overwhelming for my run category, the humble 5km! The race was flagged off at 7.40am, and it set off in waves of people. We crossed the start line in the third wave.   Tracy and I came bac...

[#RunToLiveGreat Fringe Activity] Sh'Bam Rockout at True Fitness Suntec City

Image
I attended my last GEWR fringe activity which was the Sh'Bam Rockout at True Fitness Suntec City .   I never heard about Sh'Bam Rockout before, prior to this event. Oh well, to me, all I know that it is an aerobic workout similar to Zumba. I didn't expect myself to like this intense cardio workout in the beginning, as I expected myself to be unable to catch up with the trainer's movements. However, after a few sets, I slowly began to feel more comfortable in doing the workout together as a group with the trainer. There are many turnings, footwork and jumping which I found hard as I was new to this aerobic dance and rhythm. The continuous jumping and dance left me feeling exhausted, and therefore I burnt a lot of calories through this workout.   After the session, I took some welfies with my GEWR buddy, Tracy and my lovable babe, Samantha.   Thanks True Fitness for the lovely goodies bag!   Our post...

The launch of Great Eastern Women's Run 2014

Image
Last year, I joined the Great Eastern Women’s Run and I unlocked my first-ever achievement on marathon running. This year, Asia’s largest all-women run is back again, underlining Great Eastern’s continued commitment to helping women live well and stay healthy. A key highlight of this year’s run is the introduction of a new programme – #RuntoLiveGreat , to encourage non-runners to take that first step towards healthier and better living. The full-fledged programme will challenge 50 pairs of women to step forth and commit themselves to a healthier lifestyle by attending various training sessions, fringe activities and eventually complete a run of any race distance on event day. The 50 participating pairs simply need to submit a photo of themselves and their running partners, telling organisers what Live Great means to them and their reasons for participating in the #RuntoLiveGreat Programme together. In return, each of the participants will receive a complime...
