My thighs are aching now. I crazily attempted an unintentional 20km run on saturday. Of course I did not manage to complete it... probably finished only 17km before my thigh cramps set in... had to walk/limp back home; it's really an experience that I haven't felt for a long time (since NS)

It certainly taught me a lesson: never plan a run route without calculating the distance. Was feeling adventurous on saturday and yearning for a bit of sun tanning so i decided to venture out of my neighbourhood abit but that abit proved to be too much for me. Ran from hougang to Punggol and decided to follow the LRT track only to realise that it covers a really long distance... wanted to turn back but i was in the middle of nowhere.

But I must admit the view along the way was really nice, especially at Punggol... it was so peaceful and there were still many patches of open grassland. I even saw the occasional remote planes zooming over my head and also not to mention the countless make-shift squatters for the foreign construction workers.

Even though my thighs were busted, I guess I will do this some time again. This time I hope to be able to go all the way to Punggol Jetty. Not sure if it is a good idea... but i guess that would take me a bit of training.
