Labrador Park Run on 27 Mar`07 (Tue)

Wanna have a change of route from flat Ulu Pandan and add some small hills. Picked the gentlest of the 4 hills, Labrador Park for a mid distance run. We started @ 6.40pm and ran along Pasir Panjang Rd to Labrador Park. It was humid and no sea breeze :( Time check was 37min @ 7km -- good, 5:17min/km pace. Then we head towards Queensway via Alexandra Rd -- the pavement was uneven and had to take extra cautious (last week, one Safra MF had a bad fall along this stretch). Lots of human traffic and had to shout "Excuse me" numerous time. tktan nearly tripped when one lady blocked his path -- triggered his knee pain afterwards! Reached Science Hub via Portsdown Flyover, time check was 1h 7min @ 12km -- slower 5:35min/km pace. After running thru SPI, we passed NUH, SRC and UCC -- nice to be back in NUS hills! Dashed up the final slope to NUS and completed the 16.5km run @ 1h 31min.

P.S. Good run! Think I have overcome my hill phobia :) Will do a few more hill runs while tapering next week. Oh, hope tktan's knee pain will recover speedily.
