My first run after a one month break from running due to the shin splints and then flu bug. Told nemo on Friday that I wanted to do a short run to test run my legs the following day, and nemo gallantly offered to run with me. He suggested running with Shut for the first 5km and then joined me for my run. I was elated to have some company for my short run and gladly accepted the offer. Nemo, being the well-coordinated guy, started jio-ing the rest of the HSP folks for the run. Soon, I knew teelee and sv would be joining in the run.
Woke up on Saturday morning feeling good and started a very slow run from my place to Ponggol park. Wow, the one month break really set me back a lot and I was feeling very breathless shortly into my very slow run. My HR was hitting 88% in no time and I was panting. So i had to force myself to take it even slower so that I wouldn't be out of breath even before meeting nemo. Finally reached Ponggol park 25 minutes later and waited for nemo, shut and teelee to turn up. teelee appeared first. He wanted to do a 3km short run that day to make up his 60km mileage for the week. Saturday was in fact his rest day but he decided to just come for this short easy run. 20 minutes later i saw a gang of guys turning into the Ponggol park! wow! It wasn't just shut and nemo but also fbb, sv and taz! I felt so happy to have one big group of hunks accompanying me for the run. They had ran to Tampines and back, with the run being led by taz. We chit chatted for a while and pushed off for my run, with the guys insisting i lead the run as the run was to accompany me! I was helpless but decided to lead the run nonetheless since these guys were so wonderful in keeping me company and lending me strength! I started the slow jog with the guys behind me and nemo keeping me company. We managed a 4+km around the area (i refused to run within the ponggol park haha) and ended back at Ponggol park for our breakfast at the KPT. We chatted and ate and after a few photos, a few of us (taz, nemo, shut, fbb and I) walked home. Felt good today! Thanks to you guys for gallantly agreeing to keep me company for my return run!
Why snow white ? becoz I was telling roentgen that I feel so much better than snow white as she has to be contented with 7 dwarfs while i have 6 hunks! hehe ;P Start of my good run, after a one month break. And many more good runs ahead! *thumbs up*
Below are some pics taken during our breakfast at KPT opposite Ponggol park.
