Run - Sembawang -yishun 8.67km

These days i swim about twice a week rather then just once. Hoping with extra mileage i can swim more effortlessly. Recently i acquired the TI swimming video and tried out couple of drills ..

Sat - about 20 laps (at suntec pool with mich, spotted divey learning there)
Sun - about 10 laps ( extra duty of teaching dap's brother and gf, delighted that i corrected his ankle movement )

As for monday did the standard sembawang route. But along the way my nike plus did not connect with the sensor. I was force to switch to manual timing. Looks like gotta send it for repair.
















Distance : 8.67km
Timing : 46mins 58sec
Pace : 5.19min/km

Run - marina south 10km

its been sometime since i blog , well cause
1. been slacking
2. been lazy
3. been busy

So the real reason is all of the above.
With my new revamp portal up i am finally able to breath again. Incase you don't already know yet it's www.salsasingapore.sg . Not to mention a few projects to do. Plus i am planning a trip to london this july.

But still manage to squeeze in for swim on last friday and sat . Plus i also took sometime and signed up for a run.. the passion run happening this july 8th - my first for this year.

Anyway back to my run
Today went down to adirun for a run with the guys. Seems like the crowd is slightly larger then lastweek with cfred , fahmy and michiko. We decided to do the marina south route.

On the way to the warmup area . We notice it has been seal up for construction of the new millennium bridge. So no choice have to go next to the sheares bridge for short warmup. point to note "lotsa moquito must avoid there in future".

We started the run at about 7.07pm and towards the shenton way and then tanjong pagar before turning into the marina south. Did a u turn around the pier and guess who we bump into choon wei. Yup so we chatted along with him on the way out , thats the part when the speed went up to maybe 4 + min/km pace. At that point i almost can't keepup. Notice there is a new road from marina south just open recently so i nudge the rest to give it a shot. Seems like it leads out to NTUC building and cut about 1 over km distance .

In total the run was slow in the beginning, fastest in the middle and fast in the end..

Run - Tanjong rhu 8km

Run - Upper seletar reservoir - 7.49km

Today i remembered that the newspaper reported the opening of the water-venture at upper seletar reservoir so decided to check it out from my run. Its a water sport center that offers canoeing , paddle boats for training and rental.

The route was a little short as i spend alot of time taking photo and enjoying the breeze at the parks. I do feel its about time to buy a new shoe as the cushioning is feeling hard on my feet. hmm what should i be getting next.
Distance : 7.49km
Pace : 5.20
Time : 39:50mins

Safra swim

Did a weekend swim at the safra pool about 20 laps with Dap (stazla away on diving and the rest are celebrating mothers day i guess)and wow gosh she has improved no more using the kickboard. At this stage i think its all about clocking mileage while for her to strenghten her breathing endurance. This time round i could comfortably do 2 laps without stopping. Dap dare me to swim 3 laps continuous , well i give it a short and yes i made it.

I did a timing on my swim and 2 laps was at 2:24 quite alright i guess.
