gearing up for the weekend

Many people would be on leave since it's a long weekend - minus the 43K++ people who will run for StanChart marathon.
I sure have my fair share of tri-a-thalon.
Sat: BBQ with BS group for Natasha's birthday
Sun: morning run, dinner gathering for family (14 adults, 10 kids) - Natasha's BD.

Thank God she is okay to NOT have another PARTY for her school and ballet friends - might'as well kill moi.

AND - i've not been training for the run. Hope to just complete the run and return the chip. I am kinda not looking forward - cos I don't have anyone to run with + so much rain.
