[upcoming run] 7-eleven run 1000

As part of my preparation for the Bull Runner Dream Marathon on February 16, I need to run a half marathon in order to gauge my readiness for the main event.

My TBR friends and I decided to join the 7-Eleven Run 1000 on January 19.  We have heard good reviews about the 7-11 run last year and it is a chance to run along Cavitex. I'm exited! 

The registration process described in their website seemed easy enough. Runners can pay at any 7-11 branch after registering online. However, I had a hard time registering.  Most 7-11 branches seem to be disconnected from 7-connect which allows a particular branch to process the registration.  Fortunately, my friend Roy found a store near his place which was actually connected to 7-connect.  Running back and forth to different 7-Eleven branches can be tiresome and frustrating. It would have been better if they just identified specific stores where runners can actually register.   

Anyway, I'm already registered. We are just waiting for the running kits to be distributed.

Below are some of the details of the run from their website:
