Checked Blood Preasure at home using Omron Model IA2
RESULT
No irregular Heartbeat
Systolic 115 (optimal is < 120)
Diastolic 53 (optimal is < 80)
Pulse 63 (not sure what is optimal but I believe at rest the lower heart rate is better, indicating that the heart+body is efficient)
Quite please with the result.

My 1st City Run (non-event)
Went to run around City Area after work with colleagues. Was pacing after KwangYeong. Thought total distance covered was around 6km and thought time taken to be around 40 minutes.
Surprised to find that my Garmin monitoring watch showed a total distance of 7.8km. Even with an error of 10%, the distance covered is still at least about 7km. Time taken was 53:12 minutes i.e. an average speed of 8.8km/hr (including traffic stops, etc).
Was hot, plenty of car fumes and a lot of car traffic. Prefer East Coast and UPR.
KwangYeong was running as quite a fast pace and it was quite challenging to pace after him. First 1.5km was quite fast. After the first 3km, my heart-rate crosses 170bpm which is not very good. Coupled with the new running environment, overall quite a tough run today. But was glad to try out this new city route.

Running around city area - 1st time
Went to run around City Area after work with colleagues. Run from office which is at one end of Tg. Pagar Rd. Run towards One Fullerton, then Boat Quay, then Clarke Quay and then u-turn back. Distance is about 6km I think.
