Tampines Stadium to Bedok Reservior

I've been going to place for my run. Realising that I have 1 hour of free time, I head down to Tampines Stadium.

Bedok Reservior is 10mins run away. I try to run the path initiately until I come to a part where I was force to join the gravel track.

When I complete 1 run round, I realise I have a bit of time, so I continued on for the 2nd round. Half way thru the 2nd round, I think I've under estimated the distance. I will be running longer than 1 hour and will be late for my next appointment.

I like to overtake ppl. I was over taking this 2 uncles, but shortly after that, I heard footsteps closing in. Can't be the uncle, I thought.Soon this shirtless beefcake overtook me. The gym like of guys with broad shoulder, big bicep and huge calf, maybe 1.5 times my calf. I was not happy.

How can this gym fellow run faster than me. I secretly step up my pace, all this while thinking he might stop anytime. I think he could sense that I'm challenging him. I think the Bedok residence are watching this 2 shirtless runners racing.

10mins later, I tot he slow down, I kept my pace and overtook him. DING DING DING. 1 point for the regular runner and 0 point for the beefcake. This is my playground,I tot to myself.

Hi Jerry.
I'm Joe from Ontario, Canada.
I was just checking out other peoples' blogs - your blog is pretty cool. I like how you mapped out your run. I am 47 so I walk and I also map out my different walks on Google Earth. When I was younger I was like you active and always doing something. It's nice to see a younger person into travel and activities like you are. Good for you.
Take care.
Joe
