Bug Run

Today is 9 August 06, our 41st National Day.

It is good to have a mid week break from work and give our legs some workout.

There is a run organised by Bug to run the 2nd portion of AHM route. This year the route is different from previous year. The path we are running is 10km. 2nd portion is another 10km(to marina) if others are keen. In actual it becomes a 5km route around Esplanade.

I woke up as usual and reach kallang carpark around 6:35am, Yee shen arrived another 5mins later. Actually wanted to park at the PA road side, unfortunately, due to National Day, the area was off limit. We changed and set off for our 3km route to Esplanade open air concert area to meet the rest of sgrunners.

I put on my newly purchased ankle guard on my left leg to try and see if it help to alleviate my injury. To my horror, the bottom of our foot was aching badly & slight itchy as well. I have to run slow and try to stretch the muscle and it was isn't a good experience. I stripe out the ankle guard when i reach Esplanade, i don't think its worth to continue with it, as it hurts more.

After briefing from Bug, we set off on our way. I started off with Yee Shen and Divey somewhere near the back. It was difficult to get the engine going today, i do not know why. Maybe because of yesterday staircase climbing taking effect. Divey was running slowly also due to her spinning class yesterday, plus her injury. I was running behind her, ok beside her. My body just couldnt move any faster. It was a tougher run than i expect since there isn't much slope around...haha...maybe no slope that's why it is tough....not use to run flat ground.

I was pretty drain when i reach outram mrt. My left ankle didn't hurt, but the muscle just above my right ankle is aching. I do not why. I make a pit stop at Pennisula Plaza 7-11 to buy some drinks as my 2 fuelbelt bottoms are empty by then. Sigh. I share my drinks with Reho, Divey and Yee Shen. We took a run inside citilink back to Esplanade from there.

I waited at Esplanade for a while for Sukami to deliver the Sgrunners gears before running back to the car with Yee Shen. It was a tougher Bug run than expected.
