Limping Marathon Runner

breakfast. A good way to fuel up a day full of physical activities in the next few hours. It was 7am then. RanchuKing, Chief Clerk, Conan and I moved off to our designated form up place before moving off for our TreeTop Hike. Gearing up and getting ready at the start point, it was already 8am. For the initial few kilometres of our walk, everyone chatted because they were still fresh. To me, its a refreshing walk since I have not been back at this trail for a while. Basically because my group of regular jogging pals are slacking now. I enjoyed the walk. But, they were trying to hide their fatigue faces from each other. I guess they got more than what they have bargained for in this walk to view the TreeTop canopy. We're not even half way there yet. We stopped a few occasions for breaks. Finally reaching the start of the TreeTop canopy bridge, we took some more pictures before crossing the uni-directional bridge. We did hear a clown roaring off like George The Jungle. "Awwweeeoeeo". Of course, it followed by a disapproval whistle blow from the Park Ranger. This is a nature reserve. Not the Amazon Rainforest. Next stop, a Tower. Although it was just 6 levels of spiral staircase, our team is already complaining. Too much sofa and tv programmes, eh? The reward, 360 deg panoramic view, at the top was wonderful. We paused for some bread and drinks before descending and heading back to the carpark. From the tower to carpark will take another 2hrs of slow walk. So, when we reached the carpark, it was already 12pm. Since the path way back to the carpark is so much easier, there wasn't any grumbling from the 3 of them.

Hey, what do you know? The rest of them wanted to have lunch at indoor air-conditioned environment. Where else could be better than TeaGarden Mac? Watching kids enjoying games at a birthday party while having our lunch was quite a laugh. Kids will still be kids. Who doesn't enjoy a birthday party filled with fun and games? RanchuKing and Chief Clerk parted ways with us to walk around the florist nearby, while Conan and I headed off a park near my place for inline skating practice. Conan bought his new K2 skates and it is time for some scratches. We had a few falls. Resting, 10mins breaks in between each looping "workout". Since we're not really skating that good, we called it a workout more than cruising. Ending our "practice" an hour later, after spotting some "suspicious" looking dark clouds, we decided to have some drinks at the nearby Mac. Tired and finally returing home, we agreed that we should do this again. ... . . More falls soon ... definitely.
