Midweek mid distance run to Botanic Gardens

This evening was the secong mid distance run for the week, part of building up mileage for the upcoming Army Half Marathon. The route was already laid by Trainer Ong, and we had not bad a turnout.

In view of the 16km we have to cover, we started off early at 6.50pm. The pace this evening was fast, as we had an enthusiastic bunch of Ong, Derrick, Paul, Wong, Chua, sh in front. I sort of enjoyed the pace, and covered the run without much stoppage in good time. The weather was cool, after rains in the afternoon. Again, I ran the 16km in my NB754, which attracted quite a fair bit of interest from fellow runners. I felt good in that pair of shoes so far, and it seemed like it is really working well. After the run, we had a good dinner discussion for this Saturday's Public Service Quarter Marathon, as well as the carbo-reload BBQ at Adam's condominium. Looking forward to a nice dip in his pool.
