CBD Run 27th Feb

When it’s Tuesday, it means CBD run. WC joined me for the 2nd time. I had initially told him that I will follow the rest to do the longer route (the steamboat route). If he’s comfortable, he can tag along, else he can do the normal 6km Jetty route.

WC asked me to go ahead as soon as we hit the junction towards Marina South. I ran according to my normal speed with a group in front and a couple of them behind me. I took a peek a couple of times at my back to ensure that WC is still within sight and that there’s someone with him. As we reached towards the Jetty which is about 3km, everybody seems to have overtook WC. But he is running pretty comfortably on his own pace – OTOT no stress. Unlike the 1st time he joined me following my pace, he was panting pretty hard and couldn’t last as long as this time round.

I turned around before hitting the U-turn point and directed WC to join me. We ran together for a while. I was still going strong and continue my pace to catch up with Angie who is about 50m in front of me. As much as everyone of us need, I gave Angie a "Jia You" as I approach closer to her. As we reach the junction towards the 9.5km route, I gave a signal to WC if he wants to go for it or the other way back to our starting point. He pointed his finger towards the front direction. That will be the usual 6km route back to TP. With not much ppl left at the back and mostly have make their turn to the 9.5 route, I decided to go back with WC and Tiwazz who had some injuries during last SCSM. So it’s slow and easy for him too.

So, we were the first three to get back to the starting point since the rest are going to the steamboat route. Nevertheless, it’s a recovery run for me after Sunday’s CV route. WC stamina seems to be improved a little, being able to run throughout the 6km at a slow and steady pace.
Kudos!!!
