Today, the run was pretty disgusting...
We started off
from Harbourfront, doing our usual Labrador Park route, when it started
to pour 10 mins into the run. I was stuck at the marina, with almost no
shelter anyway near, short of trespassing the gates of some very
expensive private properties. I can only stand at a very very small
ledge, while the rain just pours and pours.

After
10 mins of waiting, I gave up waiting and made a mad dash back to Seah
Imm Market. I was getting wet anyway and the tiny ledge was not much
protection against the wind and the rain. I was praying that my iPhone
will not get soaked after I tucked it into the deepest recess of my
pocket, surrounded by cotton. I managed to get to the market within 5
mins, with my iPhone still alive. Thank God!
However, Big Bone Guy and Lazy Girl are no where to be seen.
Lazy
Girl strolled in 15 mins later. She claimed that she was stuck at a bus
stop and had to take a bus to the nearby Labrador MRT and take the MRT
back. Smart of her to bring along her transport card!
Meanwhile,
BBG stumbled in 10 mins later, totally drenched. It seems like he is
hardcore enough to run in the pouring tropical rain.
His ear piece did not survive the trip. RIP.
We
started to spread our wet bandana, socks and various stuff all around
the tables and chairs at Seah Imm Food Center to dry, and pretend that
nobody noticed us.
Seriously, it is better to lose some public image than to go home in wet socks!
