Moments of 15 Jan 2009 run

6 runners got together for today's run . I was looking forward to this run to de-stress after the day's unusual activities. It was a pleasent surprise to see 2 new faces among us: Yanto and JY Choo. Along with Cecilia, ZiQing and Bok Hui, the 6 of us headed for the 6km scenic route running in the soft glow of the evening sun, leaving our worries behind for a while.

Can't resist a picturesque spot along Track 24 to take a photo expressing our joy during the run!!


- JY Choo exceeded his initial target of 2.4km for his introductory run.

- Cecilia found the view along track 24 breathtaking being her first time running there.

- Yanto was smiles all the way. Was great to have him around to lighten things up. You can guess who is he in the picture.

- ZiQing was game and accompanied me to follow thru with 3 rounds of the 1.2km green field perimeter to make it 10km in total. He is a steady runner and I use his speed to pace myself. It helped until the last 2km.

- Bok Hui provided the usual reliable camera support. More significantly, he did gave the runners a taste of his surprise gift... Gatorade ice-chilled drink. You cannot imagine how the drink tasted when I down it after the tiring 10 km run. I took 4 cupfuls. Thanks Bok Hui. It is this kind of enthusiam that adds a little magic to being together for the run. Any volunteers to help Bok Hui for his next drink preparation? Bok Hui is looking for a drink container (those with tap, 4 to 5litres). If anyone can spare one for the runs, that will help.




Sharing personal experience on methods to aviod injury and alternative running techniques to JY Choo and Yanto
