so, it’s the first time the Mama Runners SG met up and ran together… and it was fun!

what is Mama Runners SG?

well, it’s basically a group of Indonesian mothers who enjoy running and live in Singapore. it started out when The Urban Mama had a few groups of mama runners in Jakarta. they meet up often and go on races together. it sounds like so much fun…

so shinta and i, living in Singapore, thought that we should find more running friends in Singapore… that way we can do things like going to races and train together.

the more, the merrier, right? thus, the Mama Runners SG was born.

this weekend, we decided to meet up at 7 in the morning at East Coast Park. then, we all ran at our own pace and distance. some ran for 8k, some for 7k, some for 3k… yana, who was feeling unwell, went for a power walk along with me and Ajeng, who were having leg pains.

it was good fun! we exchanged tips about running, including sunscreen and waterproof make-ups. and when we were running together, we talked about kids and school… you know, mamas’ talk :)

afterwards, we had breakfast together, along with the husbands… some husbands came and brought the kids, some came along from the beginning, while others just finished running, too!

so hopefully, we can continue this in the future. so far, there were 10 moms in the group: shinta, erlia, yana, sara, dessy, woro, dea, rani and ajeng. and we all live in a different parts of Singapore, from tampines to bukit batok. from yishun to holland village. the idea is to do the running meet up in a different park each time… that way, we all get to run different parts of Singapore and see the neighborhoods. i think it’ll be awesome :)
