8km Easy Run [Workout 31/64]



This was an atypical run for me. I went out without a planned route at 10 pm. I basically ran in different directions, and stopped to look at interesting things. I went out without hydration this time, and wore my Everlast singlet.

First Stop: I ran into Bukit Batok Park. It was quite eerie at night as it was wooded. There was no one around, thankfully it was well lit. After accidentally disturbing a couple, I met a fellow runner doing some stretches at the playground. I think I will bring Devon and Evalyn there one of these days

Second Stop: I ran to Singapores  Little Guilin. The quarry wasn't lit (as expected), but I found quite a few people fishing there. Is that allowed? I didn't see any signs forbidding people from fishing though. I saw some hobbit holes-looking alcoves. Next time I should stop for some pictures.

I stopped by a signboard that indicated that there was a route that went to Chu Lin Road. I climbed some steps but I stopped as the route was not lit. Not a good idea to run 1 km on an unlit trail. I turned back and ran pass Bukit Gombak stadium, and carried on my merry way.

I ran pass a Seventh Month festival "Ge Tai". I stopped to listen for a while, and ran on.

Third Stop: I stopped by an SG50 dinner (?), I'm not too sure whether that was an SG50 dinner or some 7th month festival dinner. Again, I stopped to listen for a while, before running on and getting lost. I had to resort to Google Maps to find my way back.

All in all, I took a leisurely 1:20+ to cover 9 km. (Original target was 8 km, but I overshot)
