Monday Blues Perfection

It was a sunny evening after a rainy morning. Perfect day.
Arrived at the gym around 6:30pm.
Mark1 and Julian went running their "pussy run" (verbatim from Mark!) and the rest of us started at 6:57pm.

Hiap Wei, Feizal, Hew and I ran (what we thought) the usual route, initially. Clockwise around the lake, climbed the fence, up Carcosa, down the stairs back into Lake Gardens. Anticlockwise around the lake...this is where it got interesting. As we ran, we talked about route variation and how boring it would be to run the same route everyday! We were running past the tunnel that leads to Bukit Tunku...and we started talking about running through the tunnel, etc. Then Feizal had a bright idea of taking the path up the hill (right next to the tunnel)! So we turned around and ran up the hill. Was a pleasant change :)

We appeared half way by the stairs and ran up the rest of the stairs. At the top, we continued, passing through the Muslim Museum, National Mosque, up the hill, passing the bird park, and finally back into Lake Gardens! We ran past the amphitheater, and up the deer park hill! Finally, satisfied, we picked up pace and ran back to RLC. Amazing day, company and run :)
Took us 52:33:70 minutes for about (close to) 10km.

Back at the gym, Hiap Wei, Hew and I chilled for a bit. Hiap Wei being rewarded with 100 Pluses :)
Soon after Jon arrived, him, Hiap Wei and I started our version of Spartacus 3.0:
- Goblet Squat (2 x 20 reps)
- Mountain Climber (2 x 40 reps)
