Started out late. Reached home after prayer mtg and NEX almost 4:30pm. Extreme exhausted. Slept 1hr 15mins from 4:35pm to 5:50pm. So by the time I started my session it was 6pm (exactly per my Hp Endomondo app).
I did really slow and steady pace. Real happy with the pace. Had time to ask the Lord abt the SDC and where I go. I think I got part answer.
Timing not realiable becase at Rivervale, just after Bakau LRT, 2 Arabs asked me where is nearest "Masjid". It was a Malay word I haven't heard in a while. After turning around left, right, front and back, I told them nearest was near Buangkok MRT. They didn't know where. They said they were new to the area. Eventually, told them to take LRT to Sengkang MRT, go to the basement and take 1 station to Buangkok. Not sure if they got it. They didn't seem certain.
Well, I eventually completed 12.61km before stopping outside Compass Point. Time recorded was 1hr 43mins 10secs for 12.61km which would be average pace of 8mins 11 secs/ km. Really happy as felt good except the leg below right knee felt some strain even with the slow steady pace.

18th training (21st) run of 2011
I started out earlier today, it was bright and sunny. But Australian Network was not showing the WCE vs Dockers game live. Started at 5:42pm, not very much earlier but I was almost gonna to slack :p
I did the LRT loop which was abt 9km. The Endomondo did not start from the start point and I only realised after I reached Anchorvale CC and the app did not announce the lap time. So, first 1.1km not recoded.
Anyway, the app recorded 14.43km. I did the LRT 9km loop + my standard 5km loop. Came out to abt 15.53km in 2 hour 1 min (excluding 3 toilet stops for water and toilet which came up to 4-5mins). Avg pace of 7:49/km was better than I expected.

17th training (20th) run of 2011
Again had a lazy temptation to not run since it drizzled up to 4pm+
Anyway, I started out late at 5:55pm. Actually cloudy day should have gone out at 5:30pm, but then......
Completed 11.35km in 1:28:35 (Avg pace of 7min 48 secs/km). Quite happy.
Tried a new route supposedly to go to Punggol Marina and beyond. But still under construction and the park connector stopped even b4 Punggol Marina!

16th training (19th) run of 2011
Sometimes I really lack discipline and motivation. No half marathon round the corner. It rained a bit till 4pm+. Then 5pm+ look at the pavements and don't feel like running. In the end, only start at 5:52pm because I tell myself to clock 6km.
When I reached the 4km mark, I decided to explore the Serangoon Park Connector Network (PCN) that I always see people jogging, walking and cycling on. It actually connects from Fernvale to Yio Chu Kang Road. Nice refreshing change. Route from Endomondo below. Completed 10.62km in 1:26. Avg pace of just over 8min/km which is alright. But I found it tough. Pain under my heart during the run. Not a good sign. So walked a lot after the 6km mark.
