A nice jog at the reservoir park.


Today marks the day 5 of the return from Ownage trip. I had a good rest yesterday, but was kinda early at 5am. A couple of things done in the night, going through some calendar scheduling and also a majority of the early morning when to watch the Utimatum (a channel 8 drama). Catching it streaming online via a popular website.

And that caused me to wake up at almost 11am the next morning. Nothing much happened after that. Help to tidy up some stuff in the room and went on to do some laundry. Sweeping and mopping the floor, sent the sofa pieces for some sunshine etc...

That took up almost 2-3 hours thou. So, decided to change into my running gear and wanted to go for a nice little jog at the reservoir in the evening, at about 6pm.

Everything ready~!!!! And off i went to the reservior... and yes.. i "went" there. LOL. Usually, i will start the running route (jog) from my home to bedok interchange, passed by darling's block via the main carpark, and towards the main road down bedok reservior. The journey usually took 25 mins before the official start to the running route at the reservoir park. So, this time decided to take a short stroll down this usual jogging route. 45 mins was about it, and started off the actual pebble track round the reservior. Pretty scenic view i would say, will lots of new infrastructures as well. Many joggers took their jogs too. However, i can feel a little loss in stamina as i started to do the jog.. and at the 2KM mark, my "brain" virtually told me to have a haul.. So, i decided to listen to it and went on the do a pit stop near the PUB station area (about 2.5KM mark). Well, i think it was a wise move thou, its been like 1 plus month since i ran and did some exercise. Therefore, i should learn to be more relax this time round. So, i managed to do a stroll down the 3KM mark, where there are some platforms near the reservior sides. They were meant for the public to gain good views of the place. So, i took a little walk down and stood on a stone seat, took out my HP and read darling's sent sms... Hahaha...

So, after about another 15 mins, i decided to continue the remaining 1+KM route. Well, was pretty sure that i was able to complete it, especially after such a long rest. But comparing with my previous jog, this is also the first time, i have made a pit stop in a jog at the reservior.

Covered the remaining distance and did a 100M sprint to the finished line ( our usual litter bin near the toilet area). Finally, went on to do some static station as well. Cleared 3 sets of 12 times logs, 1 set of 5 times large log, and did a couple of dips at the sit up area and finally end off with pull-up station.. And surprisely, i'm able to do 7 times .. ( thought i could merely reached a 5 times lor) hahha.

Home sweet home after which, and i left nothing behind but my footsteps, took nothing away but a picture taken with my handphone... LOL
