Run '07 - 2

On yet another of my hare-brained ideas, i shall document down my training runs en route to the Singapore Marathon on 2nd Dec 2007. Along the way, there will prolly be many days where there will be absolutely nothing to write about, but hopefully it can help bring more discipline into the runs nonetheless.

Run 2 - 12th August
Time - 34:12
Distance - unknown
Route - Serangoon Park Connector
Picked up - Tightness in right thigh

Minutes into my run, the sight of my threatening runner's frame blazing down the footpath at a lightning speed scared the shit out of a cyclist and he fell off his bike.

This is the first time I'm running along the park connector in daylight. I usually run there in the middle of the night in the past, and on one such run, I encountered a road accident and after which I nearly stepped on a huge python lying in the middle of the pavement next to the canal.

In the warm fading light on this early evening, I realised that it is quite a nice place to run at. I used to call it a canal, since it does connect to canals around the area, but today it appeared more like the proper river that it should be, called Sungei Punggol. Lots of people fishing from the river which I can only imagine to be fertile with fishes of some sort, especially with various species of birds preying from the same river.

I'm hungry now. off to dig out some food.
