Pre CNY Run / Heng Heng Run

Date: 28 Jan 06
Time: 7am
Venue: Mount Faber Safra

Today is Lunar New Year eve, and i woke up the same time as i normally do. I think this is going to be the last time leow, until KL Marathon. I have to wake up even early than this for my future runs(built up) for KL event. Thigh abit tight today, i don't know why. My last workout was yesterday morning(weight session).

I reached MF Safra carpark at 6:46am, a 15mins ride for me from carpark to carpark. A pretty fast ride, due to the lack of traffic etc. Quite a bing crowd is there before the start of the events. Total about 10+ runners from Sgrunners and Safra runners. Get to meet a few new faces(from Safra). PocketMonster, Pre and Cherryrunner.

We started off towards Depot Road, Alexander Road to Labrador Park and make a loop there. Run up the hill, down and head towards Sentosa along Pasir Panjang. Took the Real Run Route(minus the sand part) and head back towards MF Safra via Kampong Bahru. Total 4 me around 23km(i reckon)

It was a good run for me. It is a new route, new experience. My knees(both) start to feel the strain when i reached sentosa. I have to stop and put on the knee guards and have to be tail end of the group. I guess i struggle from there onwards, heart and lung willingly, but somehow the pace seems to be slowing down quite a few knots. Although the knee guard help to relieve the pressure, but somehow it does have the tingling sensations that my previous run had. Anyway, what kind of damaged done, i would know tomorrow.

Take a dip at Safra pool for a few laps to flex the muscles before heading for shower. Went makan with the folks at next door hawker thereafter.
