3. And in case you need some unsolicited personal advice on where to go on your running date (this is a running blog after all!) here are my 5 suggestions:
- East Coast/West Coast park for an evening run. Prepack a picnic hamper and after a short run, have a picnic at the beach
- Botanic Garden for an evening run (evening is more romantic okay). After the run, have a nice dinner at one of the restaurants there. I recommend Food for Thought Cafe which is suitable for dining in after the run as it is more casual and there are no bathing facilities available at Botanic Garden. I hesitate to suggest Garden by the Bay as that place is a teeny weeny bit too crowded
- Bishan Park. A beautiful park provided there are no more dead fishes in the stream. Start off with a short run followed by a fun dinner at Grub
- Bedok Reservoir Park. A full round of the reservoir is 4.3km so make sure your date is fit enough to last the distance. Round off with a nice sunset dinner at WaWaWa
- Punggol Park. Small park suitable for beginners to running but there is a great place to dine at - Wild Oats
And oh, just in case the guy/gal you eyeing happens to be a triathlete, read this first.

Alternatively, instead of running, I would suggest trekking and hiking with your other half! It's more accessible and the girl won't be too far behind the guy. I know it's not running and I would much prefer to run than walk personally, but I really think trekking is a good way to bond. In fact, any outdoor activities involving adventure is good bonding :)
