18th June 2009 Thursday - Swim and Recovery Run From MF to Esplanade 12 km

Left office at 6pm sharp to do 20 laps FC with buoy swim before joining MF for the run. The swim was not so much on the speed but more on focusing the stroke technique and hip rotation. As trying not to strain my legs too much, and to reserve it for the run, 12 km from MF to Esplanade and back.

Manage to catch the rest of the runners in the nick of time. Tonight there was quite a good turn out, approx. 30 runners or more. Quite a number of new runners, I noticed. Not too long after we started the run, saw Chairman patiently guiding 2 new lady-runners who was quite slow but determine in their run. I think they did not run to the esplanade but u turn early. I hope to see them more often so that they could improve in their run with us.

A bunch of us, Shirley, Amelia, Wong and few other were running behind from the group and I was enjoying the view of a few colourfully lighted up junks float along the river. It was always nice to run along the river, nice aroma of the food from the restaurants though it did make me feel hungry; and at the same time "recce and analyse" what were the restaurants along the river, so could plan to patronise them one day with Lucille. The run was great despite feeling the tiredness of my leg from the effect of the Phuket Marathon.

Took 47 min + 47 min to the Esplanade and back to MF. It was a nice recovery run for me.
