This must be my most unprepared run, besides the fact that I did not do ANY running the entire week. I was at paragon to drop my belongings at the gym and left there about 14:54. I managed to get a cab and arrived just in time.
I couldnt find my running shoes, had to make do with this light adidas one i bought years back. Its functional, and I guess I must have benefitted from the fact that the shoes are quite "airy" but I stepped on a puddle and the mud seeped through. I had concerns about the flesh eating disease you get from soil for a bit.
I also didnt have my Nike+ ipod. The battery was in the red side anyway and what I had to time the run was my mobile phone. Its said 1 hour at the end. I think I could have done 58 min if you consider the laggard bit you need to actually get past the start line.
I will remember never to run in a cotton T-shirt especially in the afternoon. No sunglassses nor cap. I had to stop to walk a few times. Just felt almost dizzy sometimes with the humidity!
Its a great city route anyhow. If you're a tourist you'd probably walk the same way. Very pretty shiny happy Singapore. Maybe the only downer is the fact that its an afternoon thing. But its not something I'd have down as something I want to do again.
But I am inclined to agree with someone I spoke to after the run; she joined this because its just a way for her to push herself. Something which is harder to do on a regular run.
