Want to try out my new HRM :D
I have used it yesterday when I went to swim...but my heart rate doesn't seem to go very fast...max is abt 150 *roll eyes*...must have been quite slack?
Anyway, I started off from my place at abt 3.15pm...from St Michael's Rd, I turned into Serangoon Rd...then Selegie Rd, Prinsep Rd, Orchard Rd, Tanglin Rd, Napier Rd and I have arrived at the Minden Gates of the botanical gardens...but I was still early...decided to run towards the Visitor Center via Dell Lane, Palm Valley Rd and U turn back to the Minden Gates where the nature walk will start *phew*... maintained my heart rate at abt 160-175...my max HR seems to be 193 based on the Fitness Test using the HRM...resting HR when I sleep is 60...quite high hor?

Blue line = running route
Red ine = nature walk route...somehow were wre led by customers today :P
Amazingly I din have to stop much at the traffic lights on the way to the botanical gardens...most of the pedestrian traffic lights were green when I was running past...got quite a few stares from passerbys though :P
After the walk, I walked to Tanglin Mall to visit my classmate at the pharmacy...ended up having lunch there with a few friends :)
After dinner, I continued walking towards Orchard...visited Borders, Hello Singtel, BK at Orchard Emerald (bought dinner for housemate), then since I just missed the bus, decided to walk on to Plaza Sing...visited the Asics shop...they r having clearance sales...30-40% off most of their shoes and apparels...20% of Saucony shoes..din buy anything though...dun need any ;)
Then it's time to go home...to watch cable tv...just got cable tv today!!! some special promotion $14.70/month for 3 basic groups and 1 digital group :D

Hi Penguin , I met this old man whose age around 60 when I was running along west coast highway on sat morning , he was wearing the SC2004 finisher black T shirt , so I stopped to consult him the training tips , he said there's 2 things which he will do every week , that is to run 30km very very slowly and visit Bukit timah hill ( I've yet been there ) running up and down 5 times ... wow fantastic ....

by the way , the old man said he is staying somewhere near Botanical Garden , that's why your run over that place let me recalled that incident .
