In 2006 when social group running was still in its infancy, I joined a group of the Sgrunners for what was known as the Laksa Run where we ran, took photos and end up with a nice meal. Since then, such group run has ran out of fashion with so many races every weekend.
Fast forward 8 years later and finally we have a remake of the Laksa Run! This is the then and now photo.

But so much has changed since then. For one thing, the railway track is no longer there. Now this place is called the Green Corridor. And of course back then quite a lot of people have much more hair. Now some have less - almost to zero! And some are of course no longer into running. And last but not least of the original cast of 15, only 4 turned up this time round. Can you identify them?
One of the highlight and sometimes bane of this sort of run is the crazy time taken to cover the route. Like this run which has a distance of just under 10 km but we took more than 1 hour 30 minutes to complete it stopping constantly to "smell flowers" and take photos. Of course it didn't help that there were plenty of slopes to challenge our creaking joints.

Canterbury estate has plenty of this type of beautiful black and white bungalow. The air is so fresh and crisp here.
The last stretch down the Alexandra Park Trail before our final destination
Our final destination. This claypot laksa at Alexandra Village Food Centre.
Our reward after 1 hour 45 minutes of sweat and toil.
Sighed... the things we do to burn away the calories so that we can enjoy sinful delicious food.
