LSD run - eastcoast 16.9km

"What demoralising run again? I think i will give it a miss" thats what i replied to alvo. It was almost 1 year ago when we did that run. Well frankly speaking i don't think i could last the whole way without water stop. I tend to perspire alot so i rather not take the risk.
Instead i did a run with michelle at east coast instead at least i don't have to worry about water stops. Started my run about 9.20am at the hawker center, before doing a U-turn around the old big splash. Thats when i rendevous with her at the hawker center. By then i was dehydrated and tired ( think its the 24 laps at the pool i did before that day). So it was a stop and go for me, thou i try to struggle to keep up and chat along the way. Oh well , i should rest a day before i do a LSD.

When i reached back to the hawker center, she carried on to mcd while for me i decided to change and washed up for lunch. But i guess the message was not carried to her, plus she did not carry her handphone. I had to have my lunch in the end on my own after receiving her that she has returned home after not finding me at the hawker center.

Well i attribute all this bad luck..


because i picked locker 13 to put my stuff in.....

adirun - fort canning - clark quay 7.6km

This week run have a slightly bigger turn up alvo, fahmy, martin, mich, aerosolcan and 2 other friends join for the run. The run was around fort canning and to clark quay and back, unfortunately one of the lady got lost in fort canning and some of us have to search for her. In the end we assume she returned back to the store. We continued our journey , on the way we saw pretty lanterns along the clark quay banks because of the mid autumn fest.

Side note:
Had a 22 laps at suntec pool on sunday, think there was like 2 other good swimmers there so was rather motivating..

Distance : 7.38km

Run - sembawang road - 9.6km

I think being a regular runner is like a person witnessing the progress of your surrounding areas. I mean you can see construction of buildings and amenity being built up or even as a neighborhood watch guy . Anyway yesterday decided to do a short LSD around sembawang again but with some slight changes. Went thru the sembawang road instead or the usual route . The ipod went a little cranky when ever i pause my run, the volume just crank up. But at the end of the run everything is back to normal.


Distance : 9.64km
Timing : 50mins 38sec
Pace : 5.15min/km
Shoe mileage : 70.77km

A very out of shape run for me today. Not sure what's the reason for the decline in stamina but during today speedwork with fahmy, alvo and cfred . I feel legs was liken that of weights being strap to my ankle. Tiring to lift up. My breathing was double the amount and so is my heart pounding super hard.

Maybe its my low biorhythm week. Hopefully it will be better next week.

In other news i just got my new ipod nano 3g.
Better interface and wider screen ...love it..! most of all great to run with.

Run - Sembawang -yishun 10.8km

Missing the adirun on weds , as i had a small gathering with reno before he leaves for taiwan. So had a short run yesterday. Its also the first run on the beach with my supernova. Couple of things i notice is the path (shortcut) from simpang kiri park to the sembawang road has been completed . Also the park along sembawang road / canberra road is almost complete. It has a artificial stream in it too.

Oh my cert from the Passion run has arrived. Boy does it look neat!

Did a short bring run ard the jogging track for a change at abt 9pm. As I got a meeting the next day morning I have to give BG run a missed.

Put on my new pair of Adidas supernova 6 for the first time. Definately an improvement from my asic nimbus. The bounce help reduce the impact but not sure for longer distance will it be comfortable. Only did abt 5km this time round.

adirun - kallang park - former stadium 8.55km

Today we took a different route for adirun, a rip off from the aviva ironman route. Cfred lead the way for us (staz, fahmy, michiko, michelle, shawn) . But some way towards the stadium shawn got cramps on the knee and had to slow down. Cfred and staz was in the peak and they surge ahead stopping only to direct us.

At the end of the run, we could not find shawn after 30 mins of waiting so we sent out to look for him thankfully he was returning as we were heading out. Seems like the police stop him along the bridge. Asking him why he is jogging alone at this hour , and toke down his details.. THAT IS SO RIDICULOUS ! can't anyone run alone at 9pm? is it considered late?

I hope he took down the name and vehicle number of this police. Must be he did not meet the quota in his notebook!

Run - LSD 14.8km yishun - seletar airport

Took a long run towards seletar airport today , hoping to catch a glimpse of private plane taking off but no luck instead i was being followed by 2 weekend runners on my tail at seletar airport.
Seems to be following me over maybe 1-2 km, i turn left they follow i turn right they follow. And their pace was getting faster.. i had to push myself hard before exiting the airport. Finally they disappeared.

Distance : 14.8km
Timing : 1hr 18mins 54sec
Pace : 5.27min/km

Heck no run!

Things hasn't been so well lately.

Was planning to get down to the adirun on weds to purchase the tempo shoe. Did not bother to bring down an extra shoe, and guess what my size is not available. Argh so in the end i did not join the gang (fahmy, alvo, cfred, michiko) for the run and was stuck at the suntec pool swam about 22 laps .. resigned to fate thankfully meteor was there at least i ain't that bored.

Wanted to run on thursday but turn out i have to meet up with my friends ..

As for friday i had another swim at the pool as promised 15 laps... was rather tight schedule..
