Just couldn't get my lazy bum off to run for the past week. Finally thought to run to work .... since I have no excuse to not going to work each day, so thought I will plan a run to office.
Reluctantly dragged myself outta bed at 0510hrs. Got ready in super quick time ... was not even 0525hrs when I was ready to go. Too early I thought so I dilly dallied for a while before heading out and started my run at 0541hrs.
In my haste to leave the office the night before, I forgot to bring along the map so was hoping I know the way to the office. It should be easy, but never trust a DR .... I can never trust myself with directions and in my experiences, my instinct in the direction to take is always WRONG! :P So armed with my ezlink card & cash, I felt more assured. When I started the run I was asking myself "Will I end up taking public transport -either cab or bus to work? :P
The run was laborious ... :( Not a good start as I felt tired very early into the run .... I was worried but I told myself I just have to carry on, even if it means run/walk I would still have to proceed. As I turned into Queensway, I tripped on the edge of the pavement which sent me flying ... I was trying hard to keep my balance but failed and was left sprawling to the ground. Argh! (#*&$)(*@&()&!$#$ Thankfully it was still early and there wasn't anyone to hear my cursing :P The fall scraped the side of my right knee and both my palms but thankfully they were merely superficial wounds.
Yesterday happened to coincide with some chinese prayers or something so there were pockets of burnt incence papers along the pavement as I ran past the long Jln Bukit Merah stretch. Hope I didn't step on any of those ... if I did, pardon me .... *pray pray*
I reached my office in a few mins past the hour and decided against covering longer. Don't kill myself and save for another day ba.
I plotted the route and it actually ended in 8.82km. However, in the spirit of the CNY, I decided to extend the distance to an auspicious 8.88km! Hahahah .... HUAT ah!
Let's hope i will have the discipline to do this again real soon.
