New Running Buddy

I've just found a new running buddy. She entertains me on those seemingly endless long runs; helping me keep my mind off my fatigue. And during the last few clicks, she is my motivation to push towards the end.

Nope, she's not some fancy personal trainer. She's not a coach, but she sure sounds nice and encouraging. She is...

Yep. My receiver radio. Ok maybe its a "he". But I think its more of an "it".

Anyway, it was with me every step of the way last Sunday. Decided to bring it along with me to keep myself entertained as I pounded the 5 laps at Sentosa.

And with Class 95 blasting into my ears, I managed to survive the run without dying of boredom.

What nearly killed me though was the heat. It was a blazing hot day, perfect weather to be at the beach (which was where I was). But totally terrible for running (which was what I was doing).

Fortunately, I had my trusty Gatorade "gao" (powdered Gatorade, mixed with water. Thick. Like Milo "gao" or Kopi O "gao") and lots and lots of H2O(the drink, not the chemical symbol). Drank lots and lots of it after each round.

Anyway, managed to survive that blazing hot run in one piece. I'll probably start way earlier the next time. So that I don't end up looking like a cooked lobster again...
