"on a shoestring"

I am not into running back then when I saw the posters of the 2009 edition of the Men’s Health Urbanathlon but judging from the faces of the racers, I see high level of intensity, competition, and of course fun.

Brings to mind the obstacle courses I enjoyed a lot during pre-school.Haha So, before I ended up telling my childhood memories (crushes and all), I just want to say that I’m excited for this year’s edition of Men’s Health Urbanathlon. Ladies are most welcome to join the challenge.

Men's Health Urbanathlon 2010 Poster

Set on November 7 (Sunday), the race director told us that it would be more challenging (that means more thrill to the adventurous me) because of new obstacles like Scaffolding Maze, Balance Beam, and Tire Dump, of course the favorites are still there- the Low Crawl and Wall Hurdles.
