For those runners out there who frequent Macritchie and who always run the normal 5.4km route, my advise to all of you is, if you havent discovered it, GO THE OTHER WAY.
Poh Yee, Sean and me went on Thursday and she insisted we take the other longer route, it start off at the toilet area but instead of going towards Lornie Road, you turn the other way round and start running towards the pump station heading in the direction of SICC and Bt Timah. It was already drizzling a bit and there were thunder even before we started but if you need to jog, u need to jog, know what I mean? It really is a wonderful feeling to run on a newly-discovered trail, with every step and every turn you're always wondering where the road will lead you to and where you might end up at. The only problem that day was, halfway thru (I think at the 3km mark?) it started to rain. No, it poured. Heavily. And there was no way of turning back or finding a shelter anywhere near so we just continued to run. It was so heavy, I couldnt even keep my head up. I was drenched soaked to the bones. I was practically running on water. I was smiling all the way. :)) Well not all the way. It started to become unbeareable and my shorts were making that irritating sweesh squeeesh rubbing against my groin sound and so we decided to turn and run back to the starting point. I think I ran almost 6km. Looking forward to completing the route next week.
Went to Sean's house to catch American Idol cos I didnt have time to drive back by 8. A cosy bedroom, lots of photos pasted on the walls everywhere and photo albums lined up on the cabinet and around the bed. American Idiots, thats what the show should be called, 15million voted and who are in the bottom 3? Trenyce, Carmen and Kim Locke. Goodness. Joshua wasnt in the bottom 3, even though he was dreadful, cos obviously the millions who voted thought that what with the war going on, voting off a Marine would be unthinkable. Idiots.
