A bit hit or miss. And yes, those numbers are as small as you think they are! <br /><br />Aha, would you like a running photo tour of Singapore then? :) We have yet to do Punggol Waterway together...

And how RUDE of that person to make that comment about "larger" people not running. Dumb. I don't know much about Shape magazine but I assume it's like all the other dumb fitness magazines out there. I'd definitely not do a run put on by a fitness magazine, even if it were a well-run race. Not my thing!<br /><br />How fun to see you and Holly out running together! For such a small place, Singapore sure seems to have a lot of cool places to run!Jeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093299012409826185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-61702479785249659122013-10-16T09:02:05.878+08:002013-10-16T09:02:05.878+08:00*I* fit into the large.

They're totally badass runners. Either of them could beat me handily in a 10k while running backwards, but neither would fit into the size L shirt. Therefore the problem is not with the runners, it is with the shirts.)

It's true that the Singapore population skews a bit smaller than a US city might, but why not offer larger sizes at the point of registration, then confirm those orders with the supplier later? (I have a lot of rant in me yet.)

In my weekend race there would have been heaps of runners bigger than me so I guess they would have just had to miss out in your race.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-48743113928197116672013-10-15T20:27:21.244+08:002013-10-15T20:27:21.244+08:00Oh no, that sounds like a terrible exclusionary po...Oh no, that sounds like a terrible exclusionary policy in how the shirts are ordered. The last thing runners and races need is to somehow appear to be exclusive to a certain type of runner with a certain body type. I could go on and on, but I am sure no one needs to hear me rant :)Amy Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377968154311447911noreply@blogger.com
