50,000 runners @ Singapore Marathon

Singapore Marathon was on December 7th. About 50,000 runners took part, exceeding last year's record of 40,000 runners. So next year it will likely be around 60,000. Wow that's a lot of runners!

Actually I was going to run S'pore marathon a long long time ago. I still can't believe this happened, but the truth is I couldn't find my shoes on race morning - so I couldn't start, although I was otherwise well prepared. Later on I found out that the kids from next door had hidden my shoes when they were drying outside. 

Maybe I've got to come back and do this race some day.
