"Break Away" Run for SDC today

"Break Away" run dedicated for SDC today at Upper Pierce Reservoir (UPR).

Quite a number of people left office early today. So total 8 people turned up today. Out of which 4 people are leaving us today but said will still come back and join us for future runs. That's the spirit, Hot-Runners ! Lets keep in touch.

Trying to poise... of course these bunch of Hot-Runners do not know how to act. But they tried.

Most of us took the 6km route. Two of them did 8km (they ran the 4km route twice). MJ and Kim ran so fast that I do not know which route they took and how far they went. These 2 guys are really good !!



Due to current economic crisis, dear Kim has to down-grade from his gorgeous motorised White Horse (aka Motorbike - power by petrol) to a manual paddle Steel Horse (aka bicycle - power by water i.e. just hydrate the paddler).









This photo after the run looked a bit blurry and unclear. A kind old man volunteered to take picture for us. Looks like his hands was not stable. But it was nice of him to offer to take picture for us.

Running at Upper Pierce Reservoir Update

Our former colleague BengHwee from East Coast area came to AMK office. But he decided to cancel his run with us and drove home because it was raining. Including him that will be 19 people !! Wow.... definitely a major new record today (Tue 1-Feb-09).
Many new faces too today. WELCOME ! Thanks to BokHui for arranging this run.

What were these young guys doing outside the Female TOILET ? Trying their luck to chat up the ladies of course. But of all places, why infront of the Female toilet ?




And why were these macho guys hanging outside the Male toilet ? Because it was already over-crowded with buaya (crocodiles) outside the Female toilet.

OK lah... we were all waiting for the rain to stop. Thank goodness, after 10 minutes wait the rain stopped and the AMK Hot-Runners group manage to go and have a very Good run.


By the way Valentine Day is coming on 14-Feb. Do remember to go RUN with your love ones on that day.
Ooops, I meant go have a good dinner and good time with your love ones.

hi gorgeous runners,
we had a total of 18 runners today at our favourite playground , UPR (Upper Pierce Reservoir). its a new record!!
it's always nice to see our former colleagues joining us for the run..we had YK Loke with us today and we definitely want to see more joining us for future runs :)

today's weather was "buay sui" initially, drizzle became heavy downpour when we got there and it sure seems like its only to get heavier because we were in the central catchment area...its the place where rain water is in abundance!!

but since we were all nicely geared and had made the journey there...we were adamant about running!..and..so we persevered and stayed on...praying that the rain stops...

God must have heard our prayers 'cos after about 10 mins, downpour were downgraded to just very light drizzle...a couple of minutes after we started running..the rain stops!! i think runners are a blessed bunch of people..gorgeous people!!

the run was good, weather was good...cooling albeit humid...most importantly...we all had fun!!

thanks to HC for the ice-cold 100plus...it not just quenched our thirsts but also fuelled our thirsts for more runs to come.

you can find the pictures here: \\zmy16fil02\Deposit_N_Pickup\hot_runners while waiting for the blog to be updated.

Rgds,
Bok
