Nine people went for the 6km Track-24 run

Went to run together with 8 other colleagues today along Track-24.
They are HC Poh, Jasmine, Doris, YS Yun, Edmund Steby, JY and a new person from Penang.
Too bad HT cannot join us or else it will be a total of 10 runners today.

Poh HweeChoo and myself were running together and pacing each other for the first 3.5km. She did pretty well at speed of above 10kmph which is very good. It was an easy leisure run for me for this first 3.5km as my heart-rate are mostly in Zone-3 only (see graph).

Picture 2 : 6.26km run data showing consistant average speed of above 10kmph




Brought along 2 bottles of 1.5L 100-Plus and shared with the fellow runners back at office area.

Continue to run from office to home and clocked in another 3.46km. Average speed was 9.8kmph due to road traffic.

Picture 4: Heart Rate pattern during cool down period. Took 2 minutes for heart rate to drop from 165 to 130bpm. And 4.5 minutes to reach 120bpm. The faster and steeper the recovery the better. My goal is to reach 120bpm after 2 minutes.







YS Yun's emergency name+contact tag looks really solid. Cost aboutS$30++ ordered thru internet and imported from US.

Me at home upon arrival.












Overall it has been a good run today. Photos of my wonderful running mates.

10km run at Upper Pierce Reservoir

Went to run with some colleagues today at our favourite Upper Pierce Reservoir. A total of 15 wonderful people turn up for the run today.

Did a 10.9km run together with HT Ng. HT did very well with less than 61 minutes. My time was about 66 minutes. Not too bad as I have not been running the whole of last week.

Click on pictures below to enlarge. (Run data captured on my Garmin monitoring device).

Picture 4 : My total distance ran together with this Garmin monitoring device since I bought it is about 182km.



A lot of expressed interest on the Garmin heart-rate, speed and distance monitoring watch. Pete Laute and myself bought it last year for US$130. Due to current recession, it is now at fire-sales price of only US$85! Best time to buy now. HT Ng and BokHui is trying to co-ordinate to do a bulk order from US for the AMK Hot-Runners. For more info on the device click here => Garmin heart-rate, speed and distance monitoring watch.








A bunch of energetic and lovely people. I enjoy running with them (click on photos to enlarge view).

CS Chan was kind enough to sponsor and bring along 100-Plus drink and cups. Very nice of him.
