WL to BT Report 30 Sep

Hi everybody,

Today we had a good run!

Runners: Yin Yin, Jo, John, David, Nelson, Boon, Richard, Kenneth

Xiu Li & June "flew aeroplane" on us. Jen Lim is still recovering from her little sickness. (every week has 1 new one. hahahaha...) 3 ladies missing, no wonder today's run had less inspiration.

We just missed Patrick Goh by less than 1 minute.
I supposed he did a shorter route after that. Sorry!!!!

Yes, Kim & Jyoti were there at 6.30am going for their walk. Hope they will recover soon to join us running again! Probably they were laughing in their heart:

"Why are these people so goon-do doing a 20km run? For what?"
"Just to punish themselves? Its better to do brisk walking like us......"

We were very happy to see a new comer today - John Yam!! He was introduced to HPS by Boon and he turned out to be university school mate of Richard. Real small world.....

And David, who was MIA for a long time, turned up today!! Nice to see him again.

We did the WL -> Bukit Timah Nature Reserves -> WL route!

Total 20km. This was only the 2nd time that I have done it. More often I took a bus back from BT. hahaha... The weather was wonderful just like last Sat! That made the run much easier for us. Still it was very tough. I still had to do my normal Sat routines after the run. So my battery is very very weak now. Really hope that I will not fall sick..........

Yin Yin had to go off early so she parted at the Rangers' toilet. She ran round the MR. 12+km at least. Well done. But its not enough for the Full marathon leh!! Trying to scare her a bit.... hahahahaha.....

As usual, our recycled teen Jo did much more. She & Richard went all the way to the top of BT hill. And Nelson was basically running a race of his own. Too fast for anybody to catch up with him. He actually made David worried that this HPS was too fast for him. That is the best thing about HPS. We have really different level of runners and that make it very easy for all to fit in!

This was the 1st time for John to do the Bukit Timah route. And definitely the last time he did a 20km run was many many years ago!! Well, he had completed it! Well done!!

Hope to see him & David more often!

best regards

Kenneth
