===================================

Moments from Thursday's Run:
The rain came in the late afternoon. Instead of track 24, I took the opportunity to try an old familiar route of 10km to the North end of Yishun estate. The run took me pass Lentor road, turning right towards Orchid country club. Ran fast for the pass 5km but felt hungry and tired hence stopped after 6km. Walked a bit before running again at 9km/hr. After the 7km mark, my wife came to pick me up. The sky opened up and I was glad in a way that I was not caught in the rain. I found the analysis from the Garmin data from the run useful. It taught me once more that the fast pace at 10km/hr did wear me out. This 10km route somehow has been daunting to me compared to UPR. I will overcome it in my next run. Kind of interesting to be running solo... have not done that for a quite a while.
