New Meaning of Slowness

We tried a new route tonight. 3 slopes within a short 12km - Kg Bahru, MF, and Telok Blangah. Rather mental for that distance, I must say. But I enjoyed the run, chatting first with Heng, then Henry, and finally Lai Chee. Ahh, the joys of running without intent.

My lungs, however, were not used to the panting exertion from the slopes. How on earth did I ever manage 5x MF 50km years ago?! I stopped briefly at Lamp post #31 along Kg Bahru, and recalled Wee Haur's insightful words - Slowness takes on a new meaning after an IM. I did not understand those words last year. I do now.
