The past weekend was fairly productive in terms of running. Managed to clock a 30km on Saturday and another 12ish km on Sunday. It was getting harder and harder to make time for long long runs.
Saturday - ran to MR. That fallen tree was still in the middle of the Kampong Trail path and I had to scramble and jump over it. I met up with Winnie and we ran 10km together. After which I headed home, and was caught in a sudden downpour. Ahh the 'perils' of running through a natural catchment area. Literally from bright and scorching sunshine to rainfall. Happy for the distance. :)
Sunday - went for a leisurely run into the MTB. Loved the peaceful co-existence between runners and mountain bikers in the trail. The fallen tree on the route had been sawed and cleared. Again, I remained in awe of their upslope pedalling prowess - especially on slopes that sometimes I had to walk up when tired. Conscientious acts of giving/ making way, saying sorrys and thank-yous go so far to benefit all the trail users. Now, how come we don't have that graciousness on the roads between drivers and road cyclists?
The upcoming week looks set to be a no-life, stressful one. Two major assignments coming up, one of which I would need a major surgical overhaul. Grrrr..... why can't things be as simple as lacing up my shoes and hitting the trail, one foot in front of another....??
