invigorated

I feel invigorated today. yeh!


NB Real run today. 15 km of trail, tarmac and sand. the weather was like last year, super duper hot, Towards the end, there was this 2km stretch of straight and unshaded (Aviation Park) road. This was the killer stretch! the horizon was beyond visibility and the surroundings barren and monotonous and u just have to pound the long straight tarmac leading to the changi exhibition centre. but strangely I felt shiok! I think i m 变态,like to be "tortured". well, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going, and pain is temporary, quitting last forever. haha


My timing was slightly (1-2mins) faster than last yr. 1 hr 23mins there abt. and I downed like 6 cans of 100 plus. I like long runs, keep me focused on one thing, let me hv the time to think or just stare into the space in front.


oh, was surprised to see 2 dunmanians there, i think they are from Senior High, jean and someone else. normally, i would expect to see only track or sports peeps, and i seldom see dunmanians at such runs, (more from other schools) hope to see more. oh, they are doing 15 km, well-done gals.


a gps map i kup from a blog on the real run route (satelite map), thanks to the person's blog.





after that, got caught in the carpark jam for a good 30 mins b4 rushing back, fetched mich and guagua for his music lesson, rushed back for a good shower. then fetched Mich and guagua and sending mich to T3 for her flight to Macau. had a super"healthy" meal of BK with guagua at T2, b4 returning home for a 3 hr invigorating nap. recharged.


now, back to work. sian...

total mileage this week: 36km (low)
