Parkrun

Just because I’m nearly 7000 miles away from home, Saturday is Saturday and that can only mean one thing…….

Parkrun!!

There are 3 events in Singapore and the East Coast Park (ECP) Parkrun is around 5 miles from my hotel.

As it is a 7:30 start I took a cab. The cab dropped me off at Starbucks the other end (section C) and you need to be at section B1 so I had to jog about 2 km to the start. Already sweating with the humidity etc.

It was a really good event, nice volunteers, straightforward out and back and plenty of chat at the end with other parkrunners.

Turned out a friend of a friend was also there and I finished 2 places in front. Small world.

I walked the 5 miles back to the hotel then got breakfast and spoke to the team who were all departing to go back home.

In the afternoon I went for another long walk. My feet are really beginning to hurt. Due to case size I only brought flat trainers (not ideal for excessive use) but hey ho you live and learn.

Managed to FaceTime L and show her some of the sights including the Apple Store dome situated in the Marina Bay.

Currently enjoying a late afternoon Peroni in an Italian restaurant at Clarke Quay. I may even have another…..

(Extra was from the walk back from Parkrun and the the finish post from the Singapore Grand Prix).
