Last Sun Run to D-Day

Today is our last Sun run before the Marathon... Ong and I saw Alan Chao running along lower Delta rd from our cab... we reached the club @ ard 7am... we changed into our gear and gathered at the lobby.. Teen joined us today.. LKY from sgrunners also joined in with DO.. total strength is ard 20 pple....Ong briefed us on the route.. we will be doing 16km.. the usual route to Botanic garden then back from Farrer rd-Maraget drive-Delta Canal-TB garden-Henderson.. we started at 7.30am.. Kumaran sped off at the start.. with Ong, Alan Yeo following close behind.. Ong told me later tt they waited for us at the Delta traffic junction... else all of us will be very far away.. i managed to cross the junction in time and followed the front pack.. haha of cos the last of the frontiers.. hehe.. along the canal, i felt the strain at my shin... maybe becos of the tiger paw.. as there was not much cushion already... breathing wise still quite ok...Ong waited for me at the entrance to Ridley park.. my breathing got abit heavier by then... the whole group was waiting for us at the entrance of Botanic garden.. and Ong went ahead to led the grp... shortly after Orchid garden, Anton, DO and LKY U-turned back to look for the fellow sgrunners as they arranged to meet for a short prata session after a few rds in the park.. I cont'd to the 2nd toilet and met the frontiers... we had a 10 mins break before proceeding back to club...I followed EH from Farrer Rd to Maragaret drive.. haha aiming at her water bottle... i think tt keeps me gg.. I din bring my fuel belt today... tot shld be ok since today route is short.. the weather was cool while we start.. but the sun started to heat up after 1 hr plus of running... finally at end of Maraget drive... EH stopped and drinks... i called out for EH to wait.. and asked if i can have some water... hehe... i saw Ong behind us after we crossed the junction... the sun was quite glaring along Delta canal.. and i can't wait to get out! haha i forgot my sun block today.. :p

This is the 1st time i ran back all the way to the end of Delta canal then TB garden.. this is abt 1km more then the short cut back from Gan Eng Seng sch.. Ong caught up with us along Henderson road.. and we ran back to the club together.. :)
