Party Thursday!

First there was a message from Hiap Wei: Hey guys! Long run today? Start at 6?
Then there was an FB message by yours truly:
10km+ run and Spartacus in the gym today with Hiap Wei Chia, Julian Lim.. Anyone else wanna join?
Awesome turn out!! :D

Arrived at the gym around 6:30pm. Pretty much everyone, and then some...were there! 
*parrrtttaaayyy time after 2 days of not being able to workout due to RLC's shutdown for their staff trip*

By the time we gathered outside Garden Cafe, there were about 8-10 of us. Ann, KS and 2 more decided to run a different route. 

So Hiap Wei, Feizal, Hew, Uncle Mike, Julian, Dom, Jon, Mark, and I ran clockwise around the lake to the fence, climbed over and ran up the Carcosa route, came down the stairs back into Lake Gardens. Continued anticlockwise around the lake and up the Deer Park hill. I don't know if it's the Malaysian evening heat or post-swimathon slack the past two days, but I was so relieved to see Hiap Wei and Feizal right at the top of the Deer Park hill and hearing them state that they have to go by 8pm. So run has to be shortened! -music to my hears and a hug for my lungs, not to mention a sudden development of stitches in my guts (prolly due to lack of breath from being overjoyed!) LOL. Don't know why but today's was just a drag. Enjoyed the run tho! Well needed. Then I realized... the rest disappeared! Uncle Mike, Jon, Julian, Mark (had cramp earlier) went back to RLC. Hew was close behind me and Dom caught up! So we all ran back to RLC. Distance was 6km. Completed in about 45mins.

Back at the gym, Jon tried teaching me some power squat workout. Tried it but gave up and moved on to Spartacus' Combo - Part of Spartacus 2.0 & Part of 1.0 with Julian, Dom and Hew. 
- Single-Leg, Single-Arm Underhand-Grip Dumbbell Row (20 reps x 2 hands)

- Rotational Dumbbell Straight-Leg Deadlift (20 reps x 2 hands)
- Plank Walk Up To Push Up (20 reps x 2 hands)
- Split Jump (20 reps x 2 legs)
(Julian and Dom went to eat so Hew and I continued with Part of Spartacus 1.0)
- Goblet Squat (20 reps)
- Mountain Climbers (20 reps x 2 legs)
- Single-Arm Dumbbell Swing (15 reps x 2 hands)
