The slacker in me finally prevailed and I ended up walking more than running ...
After 4 km I was ready to call it quits ... when ur mind wants to slack, it will find all sorts of excuses and the body sorta played along. The nagging backache (prolly due to the lousy sleep the night before), the slight shin pain, the weak mental state all but told me to stop running.
Then I happened to see some people walking across a bridge that seemed to lead to another jogging track so I decided to explore a little since I've decided to slack anyway. Crossing the bridge was a little scary as it was made up of 4 metal planks and I could see the canal thru the gaps in between the planks. It was kinda scary and I was regretting it half way across the bridge.
The track, about 1.8km long with 2 traffic stops in between, took one to Jurong East. Its rather quiet and hence its pretty nice to run along that stretch. But one traffic stop is under construction thus I had to dash across the road. Not very safe.
The park connectors are not well connected yet unfortunately and it is rather inconvenient to run along the whole stretch with the frequent traffic light junctions etc. I didn't run til the end as I wasn't in the best of (mental) state and considering I have no ezlink card nor $$ with me. I felt very insecure to be running too far out of homeground. Will explore further next time when I'm more prepared.
I think I didn't cover more than 10km today and it took me close to 2 hours. Haha ... this is definitely what Taz would consider as "junk miles" :P
Ok, as The Gifted says. "Nevermind lah, relax. Start again next week. " Yup, hope so.
