Interval by the Sea

The sea smell permeates the air. The wind caress the skin. Lovers stroll hand in hand or sit by the sea whispering sweet nothing in each other ears. Tourist gwaked at the man made monstority that we called a national symbol. The perfect setting for an evening out.

And I out - for another &&)^^% run. It's the usual Tuesday evening run for the colleagues here. The ladies started early and we the batangs were supposed to catch up. By the time we reach the Esplanade, the ladies were already turning back. These ladies or shld I say aunties have improved a lot liao.

Me ran until the 1.8 km marker and decided to do intervals instead of the usual run. 1st set 400m 1:30min - huh.. too fast idea time is 1:40min. Slow down a bit on the next run. Still 1:31min. Am I getting better or the distance marker is not accurate? 3rd run 1:33min. Er how to do 1:40? Ponchek than can.. indeed by now gasping for water. Didn't bring water.. water water everywhere and not a drop to drink.

GM came back on his return leg. Asked how the interval. He like want to challenge. So told him okay and zoom off. Ha! 1:37min - turn round he still less than half the distance away. Ha ha, he may be GM but come to running I can be his MD.No respect for me want to challenge me some more!

Now very tired. Recovery run is now 3:14min. 2 more to go. Next one 1:36 min. I think the hard ground make it easier to bounce off and run faster. Lucky got wear 2 pairs of sock to absorb the impact. Finally, last run - chiong and its 1:34min. Total for the 6 laps: 9:21min. Now if I can only do this continuously without recovery than first target will be reached but dream only. Continuosly at this pace sure cannot tahan - can die first.

Everybody else from the company has gone off. It's only 6.50pm. Do a cool down run back to office. Wonder whether I will bump into the sgrunners on their CBD run. Still early - no sign of them though. If not, can join them for 1 more round. Alamak have to hurry back before the aunties finish off all the fruits.

It's a refreshing change doing interval here instead of at the Stadium. The ground is harder but the sea breeze and straight routes seem to make it less tiring. Maybe should do more often here
