OMK FunRun!

Today, I participated in an annual marathon that was hosted by OMK Gereja Santo Yakobus, for the first time. The name of the event was “FunRun”. I’m honestly not a fan of exercising, especially in the morning. People who know me know that I’m a VERY lazy person. (Probably that’s why my stomach and my thighs are a bit over-sized, LOL.) So that might be why I, myself didn’t know why I wanted to participate in this event. It all started during orientation, one of my best friends asked me if I wanted to go on a marathon, and to ask my brother if he wants to join or not. THEN I SURPRISINGLY AGREED. WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO? :( HAHAHAHA I felt dead inside, after realizing what I’ve done, but oh well.

We had to pick up our shirts for the run the day before, but I was unable to so I asked my friend to take it for me first, and give it on the day. The event started really early in the morning, around 5 a.m., according to my friend. So I came there even earlier. My friends are such punctual people (sarcasm included) so they arrived past 5 a.m., leaving me looking like an idiot who waited since 4.30 a.m., thank you very much. XD We started the event with warm ups, and then the marathon starts. The marathon was 5 km long, not that long but I felt like a lost person roaming on other people’s neighborhood, HAHAHA. The funny thing is that my friends and I did not run throughout the marathon, but just small jogs in between walks… we are surely lazy people. After the marathon, we were given snacks and drinks. The best part is that, some people brought their pet dogs with them. 

The sight of dogs just revives my strained soul completely XD.

Since 2 days ago was the 72th year of Indonesia’s Independence Day, the event was not only a marathon, but also a couple of classic Independence Day games. We were divided into groups and we had to compete with one another. I honestly know almost know no one there. I only know my friends and a friend’s brother… kind of sad actually, HAHAHA. The games were fun, till the hunger kicks in. I had breakfast but then I got hungry again. I thought about going home earlier but then I stayed till the end. I do not remember if our group won or not, but we got a box of snacks from the committee XD. My friends and I got McDonalds after that. Thank you to my friend’s father for treating us lunch apparently! :).

I am terribly sorry for this very short post, because the event was only a few hours. Here are some photos from the event!
