It was close to midnight, 6 hotrunners arrived at Changi Point Carpark. The goal: long night run to prepare for the Sundown Marathon. I have not run more than 7km since 10 months ago so was happy to have some company to help me push the distance a bit. After an hour of running, the humidity got to the better of me. I felt tired and drop to a walk-jog routine. I remembered reading the newspaper that 1 am is the most humid time of the day in Singapore. Poh, Marge, Bokz, Tay held steady paces and moving along as if not affected by the humidity. Under such tiring condition, I did a U-turn after 7.7km reported by my Garmin watch. Soon after, Randy who was providing water and safety support on his bicycle came up to me and offered “100 plus”. Randy really makes a difference. The hydration and care really perked me up. I ran back most of the way feeling motivated and completing in 2hours over 15.5km. The rest did 16km.
After a light makan in Changi Village food centre, we headed home having enjoyed a unique Sundown preparation night run.
Bokz is preparing another long run this Saturday 6:30am. Meeting point is Fort road ECP car park (I think). His target is 24km. If you are interested, please let him know. Some have already signed up despite the short notice.
P.S.: Wish Gan and his VFI runners good speed for the team event in the JP Morgan corporate challenge… have fun.
