So to run blindfolded, I'm gonna be needing a pair of eyes. I mean, it's all nice and dandy to say that I'm gonna run 42.195km blindfolded, and then go do it like Wonder Woman. But unfortunately, I'm no Wonder Woman. In fact, I have a feeling Wonder Woman couldn't even run 42.195 km blindfolded by herself either. *shrug*

Anyway, I'm looking for a running buddy. Someone to be my eyes through this adventure. Someone to hold my hand and tell me where to go, get me drinks, and check out hotties for me. =) And although I really don't want to be pedantic over who gets to be my reigning hero, I think some ground rules need to be met. Because I am a girl and girls are fussy like that. =) Especially when it comes to a running race. I understand that achieving a personal best with my eyes blinded is close to impossible, I'd still like to achieve a reasonably good time for this race. Thus, if you:

1. are a marathon runner or training to be one
2. aims to complete a marathon in less than 5 hours
3. are not afraid of physical contact with a girl i.e. me
4. possess skills to motivate a somewhat competitive runner with a short attention span i.e. me
5. enjoy the occasional lame humour I have the ability to come up with when I'm dehydrated and low on body salts
6. loves powerbar and powergels or would pretend to love it
7. can travel to Singapore
8. think running is cool
9. think i'm cool, AND
10. promise not to complain throughout the race

...you may please e-mail me at karensiaheling@gmail.com to express your utmost interest!

It's not that hard a list to meet, is it? =)

I'll be waiting!

The world is my oyster. I am blessed to be born perfectly healthy and able, and in my 23 years and a few months of existence, I have seen many horizons and completed many of life's to-do lists. Me, I am extremely lucky. And it's a good thing that I have a thirst for adventure. But there are others who aren't quite as lucky.

The Kiwanis Down Syndrome Center has done a lot for those with special needs. As a former Leo (member of the Leo Club) and a Circle K-er (member of the Circle K Club) I try to give back what I can to charity. I want more people to be able to have bright futures and opportunities to see and do things too.

Everyone has a dream, small or great. And everyone has a right to chase their dreams. And if a little spare change can open up the tiniest window of opportunity for people, I'm sure many more dreams can be achieved.
