Punggol point adventure run

Plan to start run at 7am...woke up at 6.15am...floor is wet...saw pple walking with umbrella...that's it...i decided to go back and sleep for 30min more and check it out.....now saw pple walking without umbrella....and the brighter sky also seems to show no rain....so decided to go for it

started at 7.30am....ground was wet..but still ok..i decided to venture out to a new route which is a short cut to punggol marina by foot using my 2 yr old salomon XA pro 3D...the midsole threatened to fall apart soon

So many runners on the road....the perfect weather is rare to get.....i went straight along the LRT track instead of the usual right turn to Punggol MRT....end of the round is a U-turn...i went under the tracks and reached a LRT station....tehre is a gate and a small road

I followed the small road and came out very near to Punggol marina entrance....ran along the road along a fence till i same a opening and went into the wide sandy path....weather perfect....reached the seaside and ran along the coastline till reaching punggol point before turning right into the main punggol road

it was 2 upslopes before reaching track 17 that I turned into and run under the LRT tracks again.....just near the fence of a station....i saw 3 WILD BOARS!!! came out of the vegetation for their breakfast....i guess, they knew i was near and went back to their hiding......it was muddy along this track till punggol mrt...took a pee at the bus interchange before running back the same route along punggol

It was a perfect weather run.....completed 12km in 1hr 20min..this is the type of run i need now every weekend......at least my XA Pro 3D still intact after the run
