Running at the Kallang River

Arrghhh, pain all over my body. I am tempted not to get up and just lay on the bed for the pain to wear off. Kekekee, I went jogging yesterday with some of my staff at the Kallang River after office hours. I have not had time to exercise with all the travel and work schedule. I already felt a bit guilty. When Phoebe, our youngest staff asked if I wanted to join the jogging, my big mouth agreed. Out of all the staff, 5 of us will do the unusual. Others prefer drinking coffee and chatting online after office hours.

We changed at 6 pm. I was pleasantly surprised that Lily and Lena are also game for it. Lily is our account and she is very hard working but usually keeps to herself and does not join the staff in extra activities unless it is pure office work. Lena is the type that will go sing Karaoke and dancing .. jogging, ohh no way. We took a short walk from the office to the Kallang river. We begin by warming up and stretching. I told them that they don't have to run or jog fast, just walking briskly will do. Hahaha, I was actually preempting them for myself. The weather is real nice and there are already many office people there in their tee shirts and running shoes and of course iPods too. From the Kallang River to Esplanade Concert Hall is 2.4 Km. We will have a chance to run pass the ferris wheel, and SkyQuestCom office too.

Here we go. Taking an easy pace. Cyrus and Phoebe both look very fit and they lead the way. Along the way, there are also senior older men, just sitting on the bench, just talking and drinking tea. There are also a couple of people with their long rods, fishing away. I don't think they care much about catching any fishes more then spending their time relaxing and chatting with friends. I spotted a couple kissing away, sitting by the edge of the river. Hope they don't fall off. That would be fun to watch. I already began to sweat. Suddenly, I heard Lena and Lily talking behind. The sole of her running shoe came off. She has not used this shoe for so long that the glue became so dry. She torn off the other sole too and started running. She is very game, I thought she might just give up already. It ended well with healthy soya bean milk. It was almost 8 pm when we finished. I know some of them will take medical leave the next day .

I hope Phoebe will continue to organise the jogging regularly. Please do come and join us.
