Taking the night bus up to Shah Alam for Has' wedding so i thought a little run will help me sleep. Right on 6pm, i left office, wearing white Adidas tee, black shorts, USK in my newly acquired Nathan's bottle pouch, 2 packs of powergel, a bottle of Ultraman's recipe diluted 100plus, Creative Zen, white Nike cap and NB 735 blue. Started the run right on junction of Beach Rd and Jalan Sultan. Planned for a 26km in 3hrs, rather daunting, via the same ol' Crawford - Kim Seng but with Marina South Pier sandwiched in between.
My last run was a while ago so i decided to take this slow. Took a while before my legs warmed up and by then it was time for pit-stop 1 at Esplanade. Continued towards Kim Seng, by the river, passing by Clarke Quay, Robertson Quay and finally u-turning at Kim Seng. Choosed to go Kim Seng first as the Quays may be crowded as the moon rises and due to the weather too.
Felt a slight discomfort at Robertson Quay but slowly jogged to Esplanade, stopping by Clarke Quay toilet for pit-stop 2. Had my first pack of Powergel before continuing on. Got to Esplanade and the clouds seemed heavy. Decided to continue but turn back as soon as i feel the first drop of rain. Indeed, the sky opened up, lightly, when i reached Maxwell Rd. No Marina South today so i turned back and was contemplating on taking a bus to office when the rain got heavier. Thankfully, no need for EZLink card as the sky started to clear when i reached Raffles Place.
Thought about continuing to Marina South but ran back to Crawford as time was already 8pm. Meeting Ed and Has' brother at 945pm but i will also need to shower first. Had to slow down everytime i feel cramps creeping in on left calf.
Distance: 16.8km (according to MapmyRun.com)
Shoe: NB 735 Blue
Feelings: Good to have completed the run and distance. A little worried about the cramps on left calf, never had that before.
