ECP Run

After a super heavy breakfast, I was blogging when someone mentioned about going to run in ECP. It was 11am, the weather was weird in that it was super windy and yet the sun was out where I was. I was very tempted to take up the offer to run coz its not everyday that people jio-ed me to run at ECP, somemore in such good weather.

My better sense of NOT running on consecutive days went out the window and I gamely agreed to meet up in 30mins.

We got to ECP fort road at past 12noon. Weather seemed to be holding up and had no threatening signs of rain. The game plan is for us to run at my snail pace for the first 5km, before said someone-who-didn't-want-to-be-named -__-" continue on while I u-turn back to the starting point. So I would cover 10km while he cover a much longer distance. Sounds good to me.

My left leg was feeling tired and there was slight pain in the first 20mins of the run. Both of us somehow were not in form and had to slow down considerably. We took a break at the 38mins mark, idea was to get some water at the nearby toilet. But I was TOTALLY, UTTERLY disgusted with the toilet that I dashed out in a heartbeat. It was just unbearable. Even now thinking about it made me want to puke ... yucks!!!

Past the East Coast Lagoon Food Centre and a lil more, we bade our adious while he proceeded on and I u-turned back to the starting point. The wonderful weather, with the strong sea breeze really make the run, though ardous, seem so much more worth it.

I finished the run in a long 1hrs 20mins++. Total distance should be 10km. Wow, super long lor ... but nonetheless a good way to relax on a Sunday.

Ok, now I really need to rest those kahs. NO more running for now.
