Morning "Run-Together" Session
Sunday, July 24, 2005
6.15am. I spang up and got out of bed. I didn't want to be late. Meeting some joggers, new faces today! Skipped breakfast because we will be having MacDonalds after the run anyway!
Reaching the Vistors Arrival Centre, TLR is no where in sight. I have to agree that he is quite prominent though. But, I saw Penguin first and I said "Hi!". We proceeded to look for a Honda Jazz... honda Jazz... nope.. that's a van. Honda civic, nope. Nissans, nope. Ah. ... here comes the Honda Jazz. There we have it. TLR and FD. We gathered around and there were ..say... around 8 - 10 of us? Everyone is trying to remember 2 names, forum id / blog names and our real names. We took a picture before our run. We mixed and mingled around a little before the start of the trial run. I did catch sight of a few familiar faces of joggers who frequent the MR trails. DO is one of them. Alamak! FD really jaga bags!!
At 8am sharp, off we went for a 10km of road, beach sand, road run. There were many good runners around. We were all laughing at BrokenRunner. Maybe she got fixed??!! She ain't broken anymore. She's a fast runner! Along the way, we saw a handful of cyclist. I guess they are training for the up and coming Triathlon. When I crossed the end point.. there was already a crowd. I'm slow. When everyone came, we took a picture again. So, its a before run and after run faces picture. Oh yeah... everyone was asking CyberKinetic, "Where's our caffine fix??!". Since we're done with the run, we changed and went for breakfast at MacDonalds. We had to squeeze a little at the long table. I think those in the centre are the busiest. Turning left and right to interact with different people, right? FD? More pics taken.... and Muggs forgot to bring his camera... After talking to TLR, I found out that I know some of his colleagues. Such a small world. Small world indeed.
Okay, got to take a quick nap and then back to testing and more cramsessions. It was nice meeting you all at the run. In no particular order:
TLR, FD, Penguin, renohtaram, Taz, CyberKinetic, DO, BrokenRunner, kops21
Did I miss out anyone? Pardon me, if I did. See you guys around. We can meet up for shopping or carbo loading instead of run too. Thanks for the ride, TLR.
I had fun today. How about you? Feel like doing a swim later.. mm
