Finally, we had a reason to go
to the Labrador Park for a run. Well, Jasmine was the enthusiastic one that
mapped out the route and we had to do the jetty part 2 times so that the total
distance exceeds 10 Km.
The early morning rain seems to
have deter early risers. Hence, as I drove into carpark B at 6.30 am, I could
only see Nai Eng standing there with his bag. After some time, others started to
drift in. So, we finally begin our run at about 7.10am and the carpark was
starting to get full. We started off with a slow jog to the jetty (closed due to
safety reasons) and then up the hill to whether all the old British big guns
are. All are facing the sea, and the Japanese attacked us from land !! Belakang
mati lah !! We went down the hill and joined back to Port Rd onto the MRT
station which makes the start of Berlayer Creek Mangrove trail. It does not lead
you into the mangrove swamp but merely skirt the edges – which is better since
the mangrove are not disturbed. Then onto Bukit Chermin boardwalk which is
created for you to salivate at the multi-million dollar dwellings and the yachts
along the coast line. Finally, round the so-called Keppel Island which is
probably just one big football field.
As the weather is quite cool, it
is quite a pleasant morning run. As most of the route is not quite shaded by
trees, it can be quite hot when the sun is up. Will try to feature this route
into our regular Sunday run and see if others also like it or not.
Back to the run this Sunday.
This Sunday is CNY eve , not so many places are open for breakfast. As such, we
will start the run from Shih Pin/Pei Lin house on Sunday. The usual 10 km round
the McRitchie Reservoir. After that, we will have a sumptuous breakfast prepared
by Shih Pin. If you like, you can bring some of your New Year delicacies as
well.
On the first Day of CNY ie
Monday 23rd Jan, we will do our traditional first day run ie a short
run of about 3 km. No breakfast and all can go home after the run for their
visits and other programs. We will start from Dempsey Road. Try to start about
6.45 am as some may need to rush home. Come in your red clothing.
So, Sunday run – Marigold Drive.
Monday run- Dempsey Rd.
Gong Xi Fa Cai.
