Fruitful weekend

on Monday, March 03, 2008

It was a good weekend so to say..both mentally and physically. Mentally good because I get to rest or rather...I managed to get a lot of sleeps. Not that I didn't have enough sleep, but I'm always deprived of sleeps..haha.. Also met up a bunch of old friends from KL happen to be in SG this week.

Physically is also feeling good, all thanks to the Too's for a good run on Sunday at MR. Especially Joanna and Hoho. If not because of her, 1st, I would have lost my way. 2nd, I would have stop and walk. Having her within my sight at the front really pushes me to work harder so that she don't need to wait too long for me as I requested her to give me the direction whenever there is any junction ahead. She pre-empt me that for a first timer to go up that slope (was it UPR slope or seletar) is a bit tough. Hoho also asked me to conserve some energy just before we head off to air-con road. I acknowledge and slowly steadily make my way while the 2 is about 50m in front of me. Nice view at the reservoir and golf course really.... Why on earth have I not been to this place after stayingin SG for > 10 years!!! Ok..so after exiting the trail, I'm warmly welcomed by the slopes. Still feeling ok. It's just the beginning. The fun is yet to come. To air-con road and turn left to the 'gate'. Wah....slopes and slopes... The guys were way in front and I can see them coming back to my direction while I'm steadily making my way up those slopes. First Terence, LT and Burnz...all giving me a "JIA YOU". Haha... Sometimes it's nice to run in groups :) Next hoho appears telling me that I'm reaching the top soon...Jia You again! Joanna waited for me at the gate. We rested a few seconds and make our way back. Ya...going thru the same slopes again... Sigh..can't remember how many slopes have I climbed. Doesn't matter. All I know is I'll have a stronger leg and a better stamina after this session...ahaha

Throughout the entire run, Joanna brought me to various routes that I've never been before. Well, that is their usual 20km route. Part of it is the same as MR ultra but the rest, it's new to me. Glad that I completed the entire journey with no injury. Though exhausted but it's ok. Not a problem at all. Feel super shiok and good inside. Spent close to 3 hours incl water/toilet break.

Came back around 10.15am spotted the guys showering in public with the pail..etc...haha..(with their tights on of course) and Fennel washing her hair. Joanna quickly grab her camera to snap. I suggested to post it in our "Photo of the month" forum..LOL!!!Time to feast at Whampoa!!!! Went home zzzzz again for 2 hours...:)
