SKECHERS Friendship Walk 2024 - Finisher Medal Achieved๐Ÿ…



National Best Friends/Friendship Day is celebrated every year on June 8, so my bestie and I decided to sign up for Skechers Friendship Walk 2024.


      

        


Our Friendship Bonding...

Despite my busy schedule, I love spending time with my close kakis whenever I'm free. I enjoy fun and sporty events...and since I have done the 5KM prosperity run in Feb this year, a 4KM walk should be much easier, so let's go for it! What a way to celebrate our friendship.


Walking/running is a great way to stay active and healthy. For me, it embrace strength, determination and self-motivation. Ever since I started long distance run/walk, I am more determined and focused on my goals and I don't quit easily...I will do my best to achieve them!๐Ÿ˜‰
 
So there are 2 catalogues. The 10KM Run and 4KM Walk. Well, I know my limits,lol. I'll stick to a shorter distance for now and maybe I'll challenge the 10KM run next time.๐Ÿ˜
 
๐Ÿ’กQuick Tip

The 4km is a comfortable distance for most people and I would recommend for starters and amateurs. Wearing proper and comfortable footwear is a must for long distance running/walking and stay hydrated! Safety is a top priority! Never hurt yourself by pushing over the limits.

Let's Go Buddy!๐Ÿ’ช

The 4KM friendship walk flagged off around 6pm at OCBC Centre, Singapore Sports Hub/National Stadium. 



We were waiting patiently on the track, all set and ready to move. About 5000 participants turned up for the event. Yep! it was super crowded and overwhelming...but thankfully, we are blessed with a lovely and cooling weather so the evening walk was pretty smooth...



 

Yay, we made it! We completed the 4KM challenge within an hour and received a finisher medal at the finishing line. The medal is sleek and sturdy. Neat..I love it! This is my second finisher medals this year and I hope to achieve more!✌️ 


       




Participants Name Board.(Find Your Name)

Ah there! I found my name, somewhere in the middle. Everyone were searching for their name and taking a shot to capture this special moment of achievement. I really love the Nameboard idea, how creative and good effort! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿซฐ


Evening Entertainment :

The highlight of the evening is the performance by Qiu Feng Ze (Kenny Khoo), Singapore singer/song writer and the ambassador of Skechers Singapore. The fans in the crowd went wild when he started singing and interacting with his fans...



I saw many local celebrities and familiar faces at the event. There were sport games booth, lucky draw, live bands and stage performances for everyone. Great entertainment! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

 

Personally, SKECHERS is one of my favourite sport brands. I love their unique designs and the high quality apparels.

The Event Pack :

The Skechers event t-shirt is good quality, quick dry & comfy and I love Blue!!! The drawstring bag and waterproof sling bag are perfect for sport activities. Nice! 

It was fabulous evening and a fun filled experience for me. It's really heart-warming to see many families, friends, couples, seniors and young children having a wonderful bonding time together. I'm so glad to be part of this amazing event. Good job SKECHERS! Keep up the great work!๐Ÿ‘


Hence, I would definitely be joining more walks/runs in the near future. See you at the next flag off! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ

Prosperity Run 2024 - I got a finisher medal๐Ÿ…


I love outdoor sports and I've always wanted to participate in marathon activities, charity run/walk events for ages...

But due to my busy schedule, mommy duties, other commitments and priorities, many plans were put on hold and maybe a little procrastinated at times.lol

But I am determined to fulfil one of my new year resolution and I signed up for the Prosperity Run 2024 in late February, held at the Singapore Sports Hub, National Stadium. I figure it's a great opportunity to challenge myself and to analyse my stamina & fitness.

Quite frankly, I wasn't sure if I could compete the 5km run, but I still choose to go ahead and just have fun! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Flag off At Arena Park. 3,2,1,Go!

It was an early morning run, I reached the National Stadium about 7:20am. Feeling a little sleepy, but still very excited for the event.

After some warm up, safety briefing and around 8am, Mr MP and the organisers flagged off to start the run! Thank goodness the weather was great, it was a breezy day, no rain and not too sunny. A perfect day for morning runs and outdoor activities.(*Check out my video below)

    

Never Give Up, Never Back Down! ๐Ÿ’ช
 
Well, I'm not a professional athlete/runner and I rarely do long distance run, so 5km is somehow a big deal for me and quite a challenge, but since it's a fun run with no restrictions and no penalties. The participants can choose to jog or walk to complete the 5km run. With the lovely scenery and my favorite music to boost my morale, I keep going and every step is getting closer to the finishing point.:)



There were moments I really wanted to quit and so tempted to turn back when my legs were so tired and aching, but I pushed myself to continue and managed to complete the run within the time limit and received the finisher medal. (Looks pretty cool, right?)

A Day Well Spent! :)

Finallyyy, resting my 'jelly' feet,lol chilling and enjoying great performances.


                

It was a wholesome event filled with fun activities for family bonding during the festive time. There were stage performance, game booths, DIY fun crafts, lucky draw and I love watching lion & dragon dance.




Staying Active and Healthy! ❤️
 
Personally, I believe in staying active at any age. It doesn't matter how old you are...Health is the greatest possession! A healthy and active lifestyle is more fulfilling and it helps to maintain good physical health, general well-being and improve the quality of life. I enjoyed such events very much!

A Humble Achievement! ;)

  

This finisher medal marks a special accomplishment for me and it reminds me that everything is possible! I still remember back in high school and being on the chubby side,lol..I couldn't complete my 2.4km run during P.E, but amazingly, I completed a 5km course. Gosh, it was so unbelievable! 

As a parent, I believe in leading by example, to encourage my kids to build a strong, positive mentality and high resilience to face any challenges in life and don't give up easily. Children tends to watch what their parents do, rather than what they say, so if Mommy can do it, you can too! I hope I inspire my kids with this cool medal.๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
Life isn't always about winning everything or how fast you go, it's about the determination, the perseverance and the commitments for every tasks in life and I'm the type who will do my best to complete where I started!

It's a rewarding experience for me indeed. I met new friends at the event and I will definitely sign up more runs in the near future. (It's definitely a great work-out especially after all the Chinese new year feasting.๐Ÿ˜)

Even if you failed a task, it's not the end of the world. Keep trying and eventually you will be better and stronger in every aspects.

Remember, the tortoise won the race in the end! As long as you do not quit and keep moving forward, you will get there and achieve your ultimate goals! ๐Ÿ’ฏ✌️
