Valentine Eve Run at CBD - 13 Feb 07

CBD Run on the eve of Valentine's Day. More than 15 people gathered for the run. I took leave for the day, for no apparent reason other than to assist with the renovation going on at my parent's house. Got to Tanjong Pagar early, so had drinks with my good neighbour Sassyrunner.
Headed for the start point and changed to my Mizuno white/orange top and black shorts, and put on my beloved Adizero SN Red plus my urban running kit-filled waist wallet.
Tigger gave a short briefing about the route before we set off. The route started at Tanjong Pagar MRT, down Maxwell Rd to Marina Station Rd after the tunnel, then into Marina City Park towards the sundial. We then had to find our way to the pavements at the side of Benjamin Sheares Bridge which will bring us to Raffles Boulevard. From there, head towards Esplanade Bridge and run down Shenton Way before turning right at Maxwell Rd to go back to the start point.
I started behind the front pack but waited for the next group at the entrance of Marina City Park. Running with ST and Angie, we headed towards the sundial before going up the bridge towards Raffles Boulevard. Then it was toilet break for me before catching up with Angie and ST. Did a short sprint with Cokiee from Maxwell Rd back to the start point.
It was then games time with SGRunners. Sotong was the host, grouping the guys from the girls. Of course the guys lost, hardly surprising since we have intelligent ladies.
Good run, though a little on the short side.
Distance: 8km
Shoe: Adizero SN Red
