Satisfying run

I am demoralized on Tuesday when I happily changed my work attire to my running attire, head up straight to Tanjong Pagar to meet the running kakis for our usual Tues CBD run. Having high hope that the drizzle will stop at 7pm by the time we start our run. Who knows…..it’s getting heavier and heavier as I reach TP. It was still bearable, still can run when I met up with the kaki and hide underneath a shelter. But by 7pm, it started to pour….don’t talk abt run. Walk out also a bit difficult. Our spirit drops…..wanted to give it another 5-10mins before we decide to call it a day. Haiz….we gave up by 7.10pm and head off to Marina Square for makan. Not happy loh L

Feeling real dissatisfied, Michiy asked if I’m free on Wed. I say yes. And the question pops up, “Wanna run?” **Wink wink***…eyes open wide…Of course!!! Cut the story short. To replace the CDB run, we met again on Wed at Suntec and start our run towards Marina South.

Suntec -> Sheares Bridge -> Sundial -> Steamboat area -> Jetty -> Tanjong Pagar (DBS building) -> Esplanade -> Suntec.

While Michiy is nursing a mild flu, she took her time for a slow one while I was slightly infront of her, trying to chiong a bit and to improve my speed. Not forgeting to check out from time to time to make sure that she's alright. It was a real satisfying run:

1st, there’s only 2 of us of similar speed. There is no speed monster in front forcing me to chase after them and ended up panting like nobody business and ponchet half way.
2nd, nice weather after a slight rain.
3rd, for whatever reason, I am so into the spirit of running on that day. Dunno why.

No ache, did not run out of breath, in good form, we completed an approx 11-12km in 80 mins. Not a fantastic timing…but ultimately…I feel good!! Woohoo!!!
