Running outside of my estate is really quite refreshing. One thing that is definitely different is that im not running in circles anymore. I used to run within my estate, each loop being 1.12km excluding the start point which is approx.
320m away from the main loop.
Now, i’ve began running one big loop covering, pierce reservoir to bishan park and back home.
I noticed that it isn’t as tiring running out as compared to running within my estate. I would start to feel like crap whenever i hit lap number 6 within my estate.
Running out though, the air seems so much more articulate, able to breathe better and fatigue doesn’t seem to hit.
Well, i will be running my usual route as my daily training. My main problem is now the dreaded pull-up for NAPFA.
What an interesting day it was today. After, i was done with my run which ended at the estate’s park, i was going to do my usual training regime of sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups and the plank. As i entered the park, i saw 2 people sitting on the sit-up bench. Couldn’t make out who they were as my eyes were blurred due to my sweat so i couldn’t see as far plus the day getting dark didn’t really help. So i just proceeded to doing my pull-up training first, a bit of karaoke drill, plank. They still didn’t move from where they were. At least, they weren’t china workers. I should really write a letter of complaint to the committee. But anyways, i decided i have to do my sit-ups for the day. So, i just went up to them and asked them. To my surprise, the female was Alison! She was an old friend whom i have not seen in like more than 6 or 7 years i would say.
I didn’t want to say her name at first, afraid that i might mistake her for a different person. Then as i was about to begin my sit-ups, she shouted from a distance, “You are Glen? Right?”. I was thoroughly surprised. After all these years she could still remember who i was. I replied back, “Yeah! I am. How did you know my name? Your Alison right?”. And she said, ” Yeap, from the playground..”. I was walking home after my workout in amazement. I kept telling myself, no way how could she remember. Oh well, glad that the old days weren’t forgotten. It’s really quite something to have childhood friends remembering each other. Well, i have to admit Alison was really the prettiest girl in my estate. I shan’t go into details. Heh..
I’m hoping for more coincidences like this cause this estate is really getting a bit too quiet. It’s nice yes, but it’s definitely better to have friends around the neighborhood coming out more often.
I shall end my post here! Eat your chocolates people! Twice a week in moderation! It can save you from heart related diseases!!
