Pasir Ris to Bedok Corner Run

TLR, Taz, Bee, Aichai and Benruth joined BC and myself for a Polling Day run from Pasir Ris town park to Bedok Corner. The plan was to run through all the park connectors.

BC true to his ex-PTI time shocked everybody by getting everybody to do a short stretch. From Pasir Town Park we ran down the Tampines Park Connector crossing the first overhead bridge over the TPE to Tampines and through Sun Plaza Park. The sky started to darken. At the junction of Bedok Reservoir and Tampines Ave 1, it started to rain. Luckily the rain did not get any heavier and we continued down to Bedok Reservoir Park Connector and than Bedok Town Park.

From there another overhead bridge over Bedok North Rd to Bedok Res neighbour park and the infamous haunted HDB block. It is now fully occupied by human so I supposed the human had managed to scare away the poor ghosts! Another hughmongous overhead bridge over the PIE to Siglap.

At the Upp East Coast Rd, Bee was given the honour of deciding whether to follow the original route to East Coast or turn left to Bedok Corner (reducing the distance by maybe 3km). She very gamely decided to carry on to East Coast.

Saw a group of ladies training for soccer.. wish I could join them. Snapped their photo and hear somebody calling me - Sam from Safra.

Down to Bayshore underpass and another 2.5km to the end. Bee is still going strongly even though she kept saying she cannot do it. Finally, we reached Bedok Corner in 2 hours 11 min 59 sec which gives it a 7.20min/km pace for the total distance of 18km.
