Did a short run today to Botanic Gardens. Weather was cool and the sun took its time to peek out from the clouds this mrn, hence I could start the run late. Didn't realise the distance to BG is soooo short ! It was like 3+km only (though I was panting my lungs out :P) ... am so glad to be at BG. I took my time to run walk in the premises, mainly strolling along the beautiful pathway. I much prefer BG during the weekday mrns when there are fewer people about.
There were 3 small groups of primary school students out on an excursion, think the teachers brought them out to understand nature and answer some of the questions in their science textbooks. There were of course the unmistakable pockets of tourists. The most common would be the ang mo women out with their toddlers or just ang mo women runners. Also saw a small group of ang mo ladies learning the tai ji from some chinese man whom in my humble opinion isn't doing a great job imparting the skill :P
I spent some time just sitting on a bench looking up at the tree crowns forming a nice shade for the area beneath. The leaves were yellow and beautiful ... its very serene just seating there and quietly admiring the view.
Think I spent an hour in the garden just walking and cooling down before I head back, running just 1km before i gave up and walked the rest of the way home.
By the time I left the garden the sun was out. Hope I get a little tan from this short run hehe
I rather be a roasted pig :P
