September 21, 2014 was the long awaited Moscow Marathon. Moscow city held a series of runs leading up to this final, biggest run event - The Moscow Marathon. The run started at 9am and everyone was feeling excited at the start point. Both the 10km and full marathon runners start at the same time for this race.
Feeling pretty excited at the start point.
I am no longer the ambitious person I used to be hah so Derrick and I participated in only the 10km race. The running route was good too. We ran along the moscow river and also past the MFA building which is 1 of the seven sisters in Moscow. The seven sisters are a group of 7 skyscrapers in Moscow, designed in the Stanlinist style.
I spotted dinosaur and Eeyore.
The last time I joined a run in Moscow, the weather was too cold for me. I had trouble breathing properly and my nose kept running. Thus I was a little worried about the run this time. Fortunately, the weather was perfect for me! It was sunny yet cool. I managed to complete the run easily while enjoying the sceneries around me :) I finished the race in 1 hour 3 mins.
We were all given a thermal blanket at the end of the race. The blanket was like wrapping paper hah i had a fun time being silly and wrapping myself up like a present.
In general, this was a fun race. I am looking forward to running such a race again in this weather.
But for now.. we have officially moved into fall. It is gloomy and getting chilly. Doubt there's much time left to be running around outside...
