YCK Run

By Friday night I still had no motivation to run nor where to run, so decided NOT to run on Saturday.

Planned to run on Sunday early morning before I head out for my morning appointment. Even slept very early to make sure I would be up and about early. Woke up at 5+ and it was raining ... darn. My morning run plans were thrown out the window. Frustrated.

After the morning activity, decided to head home. Undecided whether to head out for a run since the weather was looking really freaky (rain one minute, sun out the next ... argh!) and was feeling hungry too. Of course, the tummy wins and I had lunch, went to bed (pig ah!).

Woke up at 3:30pm and thought the sun was out, so didn't want to run under the hot sun. Checked again at 3:40pm and the sky seemed overcast ... decided to heck it and head out for a run. A short run I told myself, since I always felt a burning sensation in my lungs each time i run in the afternoon, and also because I had another event to attend in the evening.

Told myself to be disciplined today, NO deviation from my route, NO covering further just to look-see, just to explore, NO extension of time since I did not have the luxury to dilly dally.

Started the run at few minutes past 4, and ran along Yio Chu Kang Road, past Jln Kayu. It was astraight route all the way to Upper Thomson, turning right towards Tagore Dr before u-turning to head back. When I started the run, it was actually a bit sunny and I actually felt the sunlight and feeling a little burning sensation in my lungs ... but by the time i reached Upper Thomson, the sky had turned dark. But it was a good weather to run and refreshing, at one stretch I was even feeling cold!

Regardless, I was dripping wet by the time I was on the return leg ... completely soaked from my own perspiration although it was such a cool weather. I wondered whether the motorists on the road were thinking what this siao cha bo was doing struggling with her run all drenched :P

Managed to return to the starting point 1hr 48mins later, covering about 15.4km.

My very simple route here.
