Recovery Run - Sentosa

This evening I decided to go down to SAFRA MF for an easy run, and then join the guys for dinner afterwards. There was quite a large turnout at this evening's hill repeats/speedwork on hills. I wanted to do my easy run, and broke away from the group shortly after the 1km warm-up run to telok blangah hill.

I did not have my Patt Strap on today. I wanted to see if my ITB is under control. I ran at a shuffling speed of about 5:30min/km, and proceeded along Keppel Road and then into Sentosa. Did a loop in there to Sentosa Resort Hotel area and then back out again, and all the way back to ClubHouse for about 10km. Felt no pain at all from the knees, and whole system felt very good and well oiled. I didn't want to push it further, and will let my legs rest for another 2 whole days before Sunday's LSD at East Coast Park.

While waiting for the rest to come back from their hill repeats, I met up with Chin from SAFRA TP who introduced a young member to me. This guy recognized the NTU 168km escort running attire I had on, and then told me he was one of the 8 core runners who ran the Ultra-Marathon event. He made it through 3 marathon lengths...impressive, for such a young guy. He was planning to join SAFRA Running Club to seek running company...good to have such long distance runners join us. Later in the evening, I met up with this senior veteran, Richard, who had not visited the Club for a long time now. He mentioned he came back from the Mongolia Marathon, and immediately, we established he knew my FIL who went for the same trip. In fact they were running kakis for a long time already. What a small community this is.
