Boring

Slacking time again. With nothing major to train for, it just aimless running here and there like a headless chicken. Runs now tend to be short and getting a bit boring. Throwing in a little speed work here and there but still nothing beats running with a purpose. Maybe should sign up for something challenging?

Saturday - did 2 rounds at Bedok Reservoir. First round was with Alicia and M. This time round, Alicia improved significantly on her timing from a 31mins+ 2 weeks ago to 27+ which means either I didn't push hard enough the first time round or she really can go much faster.

Sunday at East Coast along the park connector just before the Adventure Club after NSRCC, saw a cyclist spilled off his bike just in front of me. When I reached him and he still haven't got up, knew he was in trouble. True enough, seemed like he dislocated his shoulder in the fall. Ouch! Got him up after removing his bike from him and another cyclist called for an ambulance. Walked with him and the 2 cyclists who had also stopped to help to the Tanah Merah Ferry terminal road to wait for the ambulance. Interesting, could see the shoulder pop out quite badly and must have hurt like hell but he was more concerned about his bike. He still managed to call his wife not to meet him at the hospital but to collect his bike and car. Left him there with the 2 cyclists before continuing on my run. The suffering sportsman get themselves into in the pursuit of sports! I pretty sure he be back cycling as soon as his shoulder doesn't hurt anymore!
