SAFRA Location Run @ Mt. Faber

This quarter's SAFRA Location Run was organized by SAFRA Mt. Faber Running Club, of which I am a member off. Other than MF Runners, many SAFRA runners from Toa Payoh and Tampines joined us for this social run oragnized for members to get to know one another better. A few of the 'nice surprise' members that came included Tong Ling, ex Chairman Tony, Caroline, Uncle Chan and Johnny. About 70 of us started promptly at 7.30am , as we hit Canterbury Estates first. As we ran, there were photo stops, and lots of opportunities to chit-chat with fellow runners. I got to know a few more runners from Toa Payoh and Tampines.

To show some support to cm, I don on the SAFRA Running top, but did not wear the shorts...hah, of course I wore something..a pair of swim tights suitable for running as well. We moved on from Canterbury into Kent Ridge Hill Park, and again a nice place for photo shots with the tank. We moved on from there the final hill, Mt. Faber itself. Before the ascent, we took a quick water break at the petrol station. It was a nice slow run up the slopes from Morse Road. I took an easy pace, and enjoyed the scenery as I ran. Reached the top, where the Cable Car station was, and a final photo shoot. While waiting for the rest, I saw Karen aka Shamrock. We spoke a bit about Phuket Marathon in June.

After the photos, we finished off the run with downslopes to the Kampong Bahru side. I was careful not to overstride, and increased my cadence to help smoothen the descent. Back at Clubhouse, we had a nice treat of various types of cakes made by cm's wifey, amidst the presentation of awards to the Running Club's elite runners, known as The Core Running Team. We have 5 very strong recipients from MF side this year. Kudos to them, and may they bring honour and glory to MF Runners...hehe, must stress them a bit.
