21st July, Sunday morning. Woke up earlier than usual, 7am. Normally on a Sunday morning, I would laze in my bed and sleep till noon. Sometimes I can be a pig and continue sleeping to 2 hahahahaha ! Worrying that it might rain and spoil my running plan, I got to the window and saw clear skies and I felt happy and excited ! Got up and had 2 slices of pineapple chiffon cake and a glass of soya milk. Quickly changed into my running gears. Wore one of my favourite top, the running singlet from the Jurong Lake Run 2013, 2XU compression tights, calf guards, sun visor, GPS watch with heart rate monitor and my running shoes. I almost forgot my 'map' as I was running towards a whole new destination, Kallang CC at Boon Keng Mrt station.
The night before I was using google maps to plan the route, wrote down on a piece of paper and thinking on how I was going to 'carry' the map. I couldn't hold on my hand because the sweat will tear the paper. So I thought of an idea putting inside a mini ziplock bag and attached it to the fuel belt.
Left the house, feeling excited, adjusted to my custom playlist of songs and set my GPS watch in place. Cross the road after Bukit Timah plaza, and press the start button on my watch and off I go. Listening to Don't You Worry Child while running. Ran till after ACS (Barker Rd) and I had to see my map, feeling afraid that I would get lost despite having the map as it was my first time cutting through the messy roads there. I trusted myself and I continued running. After what seemed like eternity, I reached Kallang CC. Juniors who saw me there were like, Germanium you ran here ? I replied yeah ! They were like you siao ah ? I said yeah because I love to run long distance :) From my house, (Bukit Timah) to Kallang CC is about 10.5KM. Rested there for a while chatted with them and wished them luck for grading. Here are some pictures I took with my Taekwondo juniors :)
Here's me with Gary ! :)
With the year 1 junior ! Lek Hong ! :)
Year 2 juniors ! Joel & Xerxes ! :D
After resting so long, I went to get a bottle of mineral water and drank it. Then Weizhu came along with a Macdonald's breakfast meal and I was curious what meal she ordered. So I went over and asked. She asked me if I wanted the hashbrown, I said yeah because my stomach was growling haha ! Thank you Weizhu for the hashbrown ! :) Because it gave me the energy I needed to run back home as hashbrown is a light food when after taking it, I won't have stitch when running back home ! :D
