Teelee's Recovery Run

Getting very lazy to go gym nowadays. As usual, I procrastinated in office, mulling over whether i shld just get my fat body to the gym for my Monday spinning class. But as usual, my attempt failed and thankfully found out that Teelee was running - a recovery run after his siong Bintan marathon just the day before. So I jumped on the chance and asked him to wait for me.

Rushed home, changed and out of the door to meet up with the cool dude at my place. I was feeling kinda sluggish and was worried that I wouldn't be able to run. Anyway, since teelee is doing his recovery run, I have more reasons and excuses to run super slow and slow him down (and not feel guilty about it for the first time! hoooray!!!).

We decided to run to Kovan and back. As the run was relaxing (I didn't hit more than 75% max HR) at any point in time i think, teelee suggested to do an extra distance at the Ponggol Park connector. Since I was hoping to cover more mileage, albeit at a slow pace compared to teelee, I was game for it. We just ran along the connector and as we continued on, the route just got more .. and more.. deserted!!! At one point even cool dude commented it was deserted only for us to immediately see a couple and a family taking a night stroll (hahaha). I didn't say anything then but I was feeling a bit scared running at night along that stretch, especially when it is the lunar 7th month!!! aiyo, *shiver* ... was very glad when we hit the end of the connector and u-turn back to have our dinner at the KPT opposite Ponggol Park.

Nice relaxing run, 9.5km in 1hr 10mins.

Pls go to teelee's blog for the map.

Thanks for the nice company, Teelee!
Really got to kow tow to him, ran 42km just the day before and still able to run the following day!!!!
