Marina Bay Area Run on 10 Dec 11

Lucas, Ian, Vincent and I went for a leisure run around marina bay area this morning. Originally, this was supposed to be a fun run around the Marina Bay Reservoir (3.2km) but we ended up running to the Fort Canning Service Reservoir instead (~7km). Thought the entire run, we visited several places that we have never 'run' to before (i.e. Marina Bay Sands, Helix Bridge, Marina Float, Esplanade, Merlion, Parliament House, Registry of Marriage, Fort Canning & Clark Quay). It was indeed a scenic and enjoyable run. :)

4 Happy Runners after a 7km run :)

New Balance REAL Run 2011

I participated in the 21 km run yesterday. It was a tough run for me as I have gained significant amount of weight (7kg) and had not been training regularly for the past few months.

But despite of walking 4-5 times (7km, 14km, 14km, 16km, 19km) due to the demanding weather, terrain and the lack of endurance, I was able to clock 2hr20min48sec (~50% - my placing is 749 /1513 runners who completed the event)

Army Half Marathon 2011 (4 Sep)

Did reasonably well despite of the lack of training and conditioning for this run. I am surprise that I can maintain my pace real well for the entire 21km.

In any case, 2:18:34 is my PB for an official 21km race.

 

Last Run in 2010

On the last day of 2010, I completed a 5.5km barefoot run (in 34:40 min), followed by a 30 lap swim (38:02min). After the run, I think that i would need to work harder to improve my running gait and my strength for the swim.
