25km this Sat!

Please be reminded of Sat's HPS run.

Same meeting time: 6.30am
Same meeting place: Westlake Ave road junction

This Sat's route: 28th Oct Sat -> **25km WL -> Peirce -> Seletar Res + 1 round -> WL
Next Sat will be the height of our preparation doing the 32km run!
** Yew Song, you must turn up OK?
Yin Yin needs your talk of encouragement. She is going all out
to do the full marathon this time. What she needs is confidence.
And doing the 32km will be what she needs!

Tuesday Hari Raya we did our run at Labrador Park.
11 runners turned up:
-> Jo, Florence, Rebecca, Yin Yin, June, Choy Mei, Peng Hong, David, Boon, Richard, Kenneth

We did the route from Labrador Park -> Hyderabad Rd -> Kent Ridge Park -> Broad Walk
-> DSO -> NUS Hon Swee Sen Library -> Haw Par Villa -> Pasir Panjang -> Labrador
Estimated distance 18km

It was a good run with great weather. PSI was at 40s. So very comfortable.
Boon, Rebecca, Florence etc even did the extra staring from 5.30am running
from Labrador Park to World Trade centre & back! My salute to them.

The highest award goes to Jo!! She actually ran back home from Labrador Park!!!!
She is definitely living up to her name as the "Recylced Teen" !!!

See you all on Sat!

Run on 14th Oct

Yes, I know its only Monday! hahaha.....
After discussing, I think lets do a different route this Sat!
We shall meet at a different location ie my place and start from there.
That is why I need to inform you early!

Meeting place: Springleaf gardens (my place)
Meeting time: 6.30am 14th Oct Sat

Anybody who needs direction to my place, please write to me.
Do feel free to invite your friends. It would be great if you could
inform me so that I can prepare more refreshments if necessary.

We will run *25km* according to the plan.

This will be the running routes:

1. Springleaf -> Selatar Resr + 1 round -> Zoo -> back
-> Seletar Resr + 1 round -> Springleaf
(this will be ~20km already)!

2. Springleaf -> Old Upper Thomson Road
-> Gate of Upper Peirce Resr + 1st hill
-> back to Springleaf
(this will be 5km)

So 1 + 2 will be 25km!

This route will be very good to cater for the various groups:

a. For those who are running the full marathon, make sure you do 1 + 2!!
(Jo, Boon, Peng Hong, Richard, Yew Song etc.)

b. For those who are running the Half, route 1 will be sufficient!
(The biggest group of runners! hahaha...)

c. For those who want to do even less, skip the 1 round Seletar Reservoir
on the way to & back from the zoo. That will make 16km!

Of course, whether you are doing 1 + 2 or 1 or 0.5,
all will end at my place for REFRESHMENTS & get together!

See you all on Sat!
