Run - 13km Labrador park- southern ridge park

News of the new southern ridge park with the 2 bridges linking them , makes it a must to go down and check it out !

So on sunday the day after the launch went down with my friend for a jog dump our bags at bukit merah . A short warm up and off we go ! first stop is labrador park , yes this is my first time to labrador park . And it is really interesting with all the mockup arti canon and machine gun bunkers. not to mention light house and the fame dragon tooth gate that use to be found there.
Next we head down to alexandra road for the start of the route up telok blangah hill.

Metal grilled bridged path brings us up to the hill but rather slippery if after rain. So we were cautious on the ascend, crowds of walkers and photographers swamp the path. Was nice to be close to nature and at times i stop my ipod to listen to the nature sound.
The wave bridge connecting telok blangah hill and mount faber hill is the most inspiring one not just the length or height but the design. The interior of the bridge is equally beautiful.. seamless smooth curves and not a single sharp edge insight. Seems like its worth a place in MoMa musuem of design.

Forgot to mention about the view, Simply stunning! you can see the CBD from here.
From mount faber we make the journey down along the way we saw some cyclist from the national team? Cause their shirt has singapore printed over them. After the run we headed down to safra club for some 20 laps at the pool thats where we saw DO , ultra and Anthony doing their warmdown after a run to marina.

LSD run - yio chu kang - seletar airport 17km

Fantastic weather for a LSD today. Unfortunately can't say the same for my stamina today. I will have to go on a strict no alcohol diet from now till marathon D day.

Took afew stoppage almost at every bus stop along the train track arghh!! But things got better as i hit the seletar airport. I can see quite a few runners there some gave me the thumbs up as i ran pass them. Overall its still a very pleasant run ..

LSD run - Eastcoast 28km

LSD has always been said to be long and agonizing run . And the same can be said to this one especially when you are doing this alone.

Came down to east coast at 4pm to do my lsd planned a 30km route from BFD from end to end till the perimeter road next to changi runway. Along the route I bump into familiar faces like tekko ( running back home !) and other friends. East coast on a sunday afternoon is bustling with activities not like on a morning. I can see groups having bbq .. Windsurfer and the drawing the most crowd is the new sport kiteboarding.

At perimeter road, I tried the new park connector but unfortunately there's no toilet there to top up my bottle NP board do think about that.

Ok enough of talking time to get a good rest ..

LSD run - yishun sembawang - 20km

Another weekend another long boring LSD run. Perhaps i am just going through the motion, morning person i am not so really going running at god forsaken timing with the gang is really tough.

Anyway i recycled this route from last year preparation for stan chart. Tried out my belkin sport command for the first time. As my ipod plus is under servicing (receiver was not working). So that gave me the opportunity to test this out. Well for one its not as responsive as i want it to be. I need at least 2 click to forward , reverse or play before it reacts. Maybe it could be the range problem.

LSD run - yio chu kang - seletar airport 18.93km

Today did a LSD run with the sgrunners on the northern route which is at yishun. The run was organised by james , was to be a 20km route covering lower seletar reservoir , yio chu kang road, jln kayu and back to yishun via the seletar airport.

As usual I woke up earlier at 6am and ran down to stadium to meet them up. First time meeting them includes. Jodan , kk, sealboon , hopflng. The weather was windy and cloudy, perfect for a LSD. Was leading the run and sealboon me and kk manage to keep pace with me at abt 6min/pace. James was behind as sweeper.

we had our water breaks at jln kayu before moving off again. At about some way along the seletar dam jodan decided to walk instead.

We ended our run at abt 930am before heading down to khatib foodcenter for breakfast.

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.....

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.

LSD run - Eastcoast 24km

Met up with babumouse and loanshark for a morning LSD run at eastcoast around 9am. Why 9am, Coz he said that this time can simulate the marathon heat. Ermm well not sure about that but i went ahead with the run anyway.

Did not timed this run as its all about clocking the distance. So we have ample breaks here and there. Unfortunately, for loanshark at one of the water breaks before the safra yacht club, he left his sunglasses at the water sink. By the time we noticed it , we already reached the food center location.

Well at that point babumouse has already surge forward with his new running style. So we decided to get some food and return back there by vehicle to look for the missing sunglass.
Unfortunately it wasn't there. Probably cannibalized by the cleaners .

Distance : 24km
Time : 3hr 30mins

Run LSD - yishun - 13.5km

Feeling guilty that i did not do any LSD last weekend ( due to haze , wedding dinner photographer). Decided to have a long run in the evening instead. Map out the route from google map around yishun then to sembawang.

The weather was quite alright with the haze gone. After warm up i proceed the run in a slow pace manner not wanting to break any "speed limit". Some how after topping up water at the stadium i decide to change the route abit , but somehow its a bad mistake underestimating the distance. Turns out the run along the sembawang airbase towards , sembawang town was very long. So long i decided midway to U turn back and get back to chong pang. Hmm I will be back more prepared!

Distance : 13.5km
