Mud Pool

Ran with Lai Chee at MR this morning. The heavy rain yesterday left us a muddy playground and we splished splashed our way through. It was a nice easy run, at conversational pace. We chatted throughout the run. LC was on a recovery run, and I was fresh from not having done anything in the week!

The path from MR towards Rifle Range was closed for renovation until 5-Nov. Hmm... did that mean that TNF race might have a slight change in route? We detoured and went up part of the Treetop walk wooden bridge to rejoin the mud path. It became really muddy when we went towards Zhenghua. No choice, had to step right into the mud puddles. There were many MTB cyclists gathered around Zhenghua Park. It was really impressive to see them handle their bicycles over the obstacle-laden trails (obstacles to me...).

LC's Garmin beeped reminders every km. We carried on back to MR, this time turning into the reservoir after the pipe-drain (instead of the wooden bridge). Still chatting. We finished our run approx 23km, and saw Sok Hwa and Teacher Lee in the carpark. It was a good run in a superb cool weather. Ahhh.... Enjoyable.
