Evening Sweat
Another ultra hot day. I slept in til noon, having stayed up til 4am to catch the election results. I deliberately waited til 730pm to go for a short run, but alas, it was still as humid. The air was stale and whatever little breeze we had was warm.
Alber took me on a 10km run around the Woodlands - Admiralty estate. We went along the PCN and then I did not recognize where I was any more. Winding in and out of the roads, we eventually made a huge 10km loop. I was immensely glad to be back, totally drenched in sweat despite the sunset. Yucks.

Humid MR
The heat was unabated this weekend. I went to MR at about 11am. It normally was quite cool in the trails, but today, it was as humid as running on the road. I was drenched pretty soon, from the heat, not the effort.
Managed to run 2 loops nonetheless. The heat was putting a strain on my run and I left with a headache.
Today was Polling Day, and also house-viewing day. I had a long day ahead....

Two new loops
Safra training plan: 3 loops of 5+km tempo run around Depot Rd - Telok Blangah Hts.
It was the first time I ran that route. There was a long gradual upslope near Telok Blangah Hts which was rather fun to attempt. The roads were slightly wet after the rain and the weather very cool. It was the perfect weather for a personal 'time out' chat to self. I did my first loop at 33min. Obviously not a 'tempo' pace. Oops. I went on my second loop and was overtaken by Jackie and WL at the mid-way point, their third loop. Very fast guys. Alas, towards the end of my second loop, it started raining, and most people stopped.

Long Running Weekend
Thank goodness for a long weekend. The weather held up gloriously. Slight drizzle throughout the days made for very cooling runs. I was happy to be able to run at any time of the day. :)
Saturday - Did an evening run around my estate. For a moment, I thought that the election campaign banners were wrongly placed, until I realised that I had run from one GRC to another. On my way back, I decided to jog through the Sunset Way estate to check out the houses there. Some of the bungalows were really huge and beautiful in a quiet estate. Aspirational. I ran about 14-15km.
Sunday - There was a morning drizzle but I headed out anyway. Thought that I could do a long run, but no, sugar low. Ran from my house to Clementi canal to NUS through the winding slopes and out. Along the way, the rain started and stopped and restarted. I was very tempted to flag a cab home, and there were many empty ones that drove past me. But I trotted along until Clementi and decided to take a bus back because I was rushing for an appointment. Definitely an off-form run. Another 15-16km perhaps?
Monday - Dropped by MF Safra in the late afternoon. Plan was to complete two loops around MF, but alas the gym was closing early today. So I had to shorten my run to 1.5 loops. 15km.
But immensely happy with my slow trots. :)
