Back in Singapore and suffering from sore limps, I really needed a recovery run. Tuesday came by and there is only one place to be at; Tanjung Pagar MRT station for the CBD Run. This week happened to be the first anniversary of the run and there were plans for a small celebration after the run.
I almost couldn't make it, having to be in Bintan for a meeting. Thankfully boss decided to leave via 1430hrs ferry. Reached Singapore at 1630hrs, i immediately left for Capital Towers' Starbucks, and cleared emails and blogged.
Changed into my Mizuno blue running top and shorts, NB 1060 and put on my urban running kit. There was already a crowd at the start point and new members were gathered for a photo shoot, which was followed by a photo for all who turned up. Littletigger explained the route before starting the run. I followed closely behind, only to stop a km later, feeling tightness of the thighs and calves. Most of the other runners passed by while i did my stretches.
Caught up with JT, Charlotte and gang, i decided to be more adventurous and started to try out the chi-running technique, only to stop less than 100m ahead. Then i tried doing fartleks, and continued until i caught up with the main group.
It was then two short sprints down and then up the tunnel, before a slow jog to the junction of Maxwell and Robinson Rd. Once the lights turned green for padestrian to cross, i did my usual sprint finish. Many others waited at the finish line, including, TLR, FD, Dasher, Teelee etc.
The sky had already began to drizzle by then, and we adjourned to a canteen behind one of the buildings. Food were laid out, and we tucked in soon after. I brought kueh from Bintan, made by Pipin's mum at her village home. Village food always taste great.
There were then some speeches before the anniversary cake was cut. I had a slice, great stuff.
A good recovery run after the gruelling 30km in KL.
