CBD Run

I left the house in a hurry this morning, and only realised that I have forgotten my running shoes when I was in a train!!! Was disappointed in the prospect that I may have to skip the CBD run tonight until teelee came to the rescue and offered to help me pick up my shoes from my place after his morning training! My saviour!!! He is really my ANGEL IN DISGUISE! I can't thank you enough teelee!!!

I left the office earlier to be at the CBD Run meeting point, so that I can have sufficient time to change to my shoes. While waiting, chatted with Divey. She is such a nice and easy gal to talk to! Aichai & Roentgen came at about the same time while Teelee arrived shortly after. I quickly changed into my shoes in the TLV and at about 6 mins past 7pm, we pushed off for our CBD Run.

Great to meet some new faces today (Joey and steerpike). The people who turned up today included Roentgen, teelee, nemo, shut, charmane, superboy, kay, joey, charlotte, imd, alvo, meteor, cosmic, tiwazz, cheow (special appearance!!), doraemon_red, james, aichai, yean yin, bee, sxuanjing, Divey, run3 & cfred.

The folks are getting much faster and in no time Roentgen (who is recovering from a flu), Aichai, me are left behind. We were discussing about the charity event we were trying to organise while slowly made our way to the jetty. Apart from getting faster, the CBD runners are also getting stronger! They don't even stop at the jetty now, everyone just made a loop and carried on. Roentgen, Aichai, myself stayed behind and waited for Kay. We told superboi (who was accompanying Kay) to carry on with his run and we will take the shorter route with Kay back (anyway Roentgen has to take the shorter route back so as not to strain himself. Very well-behaved and disciplined doctor!! Well done! *clap clap clap*) We met James who was late and had to play catch up game to join us and after everyone had taken their break, we proceeded back, with aichai & james taking the longer route while the rest of us (kay, steerpike, roentgen & myself) took the shorter route back to the starting point.

The pace was comfortable and we reached the starting point and we took approximately 51mins to complete 6km. Roentgen finished the run strong and hardly breathless and he was able to hold a conversation easily throughout the run. Well done Roentgen! Welcome back and glad ur fitness level remains excellent!

There isn't any birthday celebration today. Feels a bit odd and something seems amiss without any celebration. The gang of us just crowded around chatting away, with some of us discussing about the charity and how to move forward. We finally left for dinner at Maxwell, occupying fully 4 tables. The group finally disbanded close to 10pm and kind teelee again sent the HSP folks back in his trusty TLV.

Thanks for the wonderful run & company ... :)
