Punggol Park - Into the Heart of the Opposition ward

Thanks to the strange Hot/Wet weather of the past few weeks, I came down with flu and fever last week and had to take a break from running, while the gang went for a run at Clark Quay. This week, with all the hype about the re-election hype for the member of parliament of the Worker's Party stronghold of Hougang, we decided to drop by the nearby Punggol Park for a Heartland run.

The Pond of Punggol Park. Lots of activites there!

Sentosa Beach Run - Too much distractions, even on a quiet Saturday Morning

To the fable beaches of Sentosa: We are back!

Early morning sun at central beach station

The last time we were here, we were trapped in the rain for the entire morning. This time round, the weather was sunny with very little evidence of any storm clouds over the horizon. On the other hand, the weather was scorching hot and we regretting not bringing out sunglasses, sunblock and caps out for the run. Starting out at the McDonalds, we worked our way towards Palawan beach and Sentosa cover, planning to turn back when we reached the turning point for the tram and back to the other end at Rasa Sentosa.

Marina Bay Waterfront - Into the Heart of Singapore

After taking a break last week at Batam, the gang is back in force this week to challenge the Marina Bay area. The freak weather of May is really getting to us as it rains and shines unpredictably almost every other day. It is no different that morning as a heavy downpour made us doubt if we can carry out the run on Saturday morning.

Start Point at Youth Olympic Park

Looks like the Gods are with us this week as the rain let up just before the guys gathered at Promenade MRT station for the run. The weather was cooling and windy and there was little sun to be seen, much to the delight of the ladies who wanted to keep out of those wrinkles inducing UV rays. We took off running from the Youth Olympic Park across the helix bridge, and we were pleasantly surprised by the numbers of runners there are in this area. There were good looking hunks and babes doing their workout too, so the scenery is a delight for both the guys and ladies.

Bedok Reservoir Forefoot Run Practise - Guess the no of CuddlingCouples?

Now that my calves were 80% recovered, I decided to go for another practice run using forefoot run. This time, I do my normal Bedok Reservoir running route minimizing the heroism of exploring new routes and taking photos at the same time. Did forefoot run for 3 km before feeling the strain on the calves again. Back to heel running for the rest of the distance. My pace did jumped below 7min/km in the first 2 km and I barely felt any breathlessness after the 4.4km run. This is an interesting running technique. More practices to come. 

My poor poor calf...

Counted: 5 couples eating each others' face. 1 man talking to his dog by the moonlight waters.
