Run Panda run ...

"... run Forest run ... and the amazing journey of the young Forest Gump began"

This morning it was my turn. Deciding against our original plan to conquer the mountain, my neighbour and I started our Sunday morning by jogging in Bishan Park.

"Sunday morning?? Are you NUTS!?!" I believe most of you will say. The answer is, "I really think we are!" It was tough since beginning. Waking up blur-blur from last night match, I have to push myself out of the comfort of my bed to get ready for my little adventure. As suspected it was not getting better during the jog :( .. My jog's partner happily told me about two stages of running. The first is when it feels like hell (as your body scream for help unable to cope with the workout), and the other when you reach a point where your body adjusted and everything feels like a walk in the park. Oh well, I guess mine went straight to hell and not moving. It was end up to be a mix training for both of us, running-and-idling for my jog's partner and walking-and-walking for me :)!

Overall it was a fun morning. This was the first time that I get to explore the park since we moved in, and now I realize that we really take it for granted. It offers everything from Spa to Inline skating, a huge field enough for everyone, dog playing ground, and a picture perfect ponds and gardens. Along the way I manage to see few chaps fishing in the pond, uncle practising his swordmanship, few exotic birds, a squirell and not-so-polite guy who tried to pee in the pond (which I originally thought as my jogging partner). Those who jog for the hunks and chicks should avoid these park. Other than two of us, most people that we met are bunch of polite uncles and aunties that gracefully gave way to this panting overweight Panda.

There is nothing fun about the after effect. Although I was spending most of the time walking instead of running, my body now ache all over the place like I had complete a marathon :( ..

Anyone want to join us next week??
