CBD Run was cancelled due to the IMF. The organisers were worried that such a big group of us running along Marina South Park area may invite questioning/interrogation by the authorities especially with heightened security due to IMF.
Not wanting to miss the weekly Tue run ritual, many of us decided to do our own run. Teelee, on 2 weeks leave, suggested a run at ECP and even kindly offered to pick the CBD slaves up at the usual CBD Run start point (THANKS Teelee!). Of coz, I jumped at the chance to join in the fun - and its not everyday that I get to run in ECP!
When I got to the start point, Teelee was already there. Charmane, cfred & cokiee (wah, all the Cs!!) arrived shortly after. While putting my bag in the TLV, saw a posh Beemer pulled up right behind the van. Upon closer inspection, found out that it is Junie and Aichai, in his swanky suit - suit & tie and all! *whistles* Very kind of Aichai to drive by to pick up some of the runners, since I was already ready, decided to hop on the beemer and went ahead to ECP first while the rest wait for IMD, Shut & Divey to turn up.
First time sitting in a beemer 7 series (wah, spacious siah, not everyday or every month even! that i get to sit in a luxury car so haha, must enjoy the ride lah) and spent some time discussing about HWA and also talking about marathon etc. Good to be able to see Aichai again and catch up with him, since he has been so busy that we haven't met up with him for weeks!
Thankfully traffic wasn't all that bad and we managed to reach ECP at 6:50pm. Roentgen arrived shortly after followed by TLV. Junie's friend Alvin joined us (I wonder how he knew we were at carpark F2 - coz F1 was packed, when we were suppose to meet at F1?). Shut somehow didn't turn up and also met IMD (woo hoo! Megahunk running with this small group tonight! Honour siah!).
We started the run at about 7:15pm. The sea breeze really makes the run very very enjoyable! Its so relaxing running there tonight. The pace was however slightly fast and in no time Divey, Roentgen & myself were left behind. However, I couldn't care less about the pace, coz I just wanted to do my own run tonight, need to run off the irritation and frustration that have been bugging me lately. I need to run, to keep myself sane and I was just simply enjoying the wind, the sound of the waves, the company of my friends, the chit chat with Aichai, Divey & Roentgen. Was good, I actually forgot about all the lousy emotions I have been feeling.
Did an extra 1km plus before u-turning back. By then everyone has up their tempo and I was left only with Roentgen slowly making our way back. Good to be able to feel the breeze and just run and yak with Roentgen (of coz got to suffer his constant teasing about Bedok Jetty & my near splits today -__-" Thanks hor Roentgen, hope u BT too! *evil luff*)
We finished the run 14.5km in all in 1hr 32+ mins. Good run.
We then proceeded to the food centre nearby for dinner and more yakking. Had lots of laughs tonight. We managed to sit around this big table, squeezing all 9 of us, so we were able to have a lot of chit chat and laughs and lots of interaction with everyone. Very good communications! I like!
Good run tonight with awesome company! I feel oh so much better after this enjoyable run, thanks to everyone! :) How I wish I can do more of such ECP runs ! Its therapeutic, and good for my soul *thumbs up*
