9km leisure

This evening I actually planned to visit the CBD for run. but an unfortunate happened to my car in the afternoon. I was eating lunch with a colleague at our favourite joint during noon time, after about a hour, i started my car and drove out of the car park. Reaching the stop-line, i stop and the engine dies.

I tried several time to start the engine, but to no valid. then i notice that whenever i tries to start, the rpm would drop to zero and then dies. i noticed the symptom and start the engine and at the same time, accelerate to keep the rpm up. hey it works!

I quickly called my colleague and drove to his "trusted" mechanic as instructed. He was already there waiting for me. while testing the car, the mechanic was "surprise" that someone could actually drove this car for 5 years, giving me the dot. dot. dot. look.

I asked the mechanic to check the other parts of the car and change the suspension if have to, since i am aiming to drive for another 2 years. hai~ many colleagues kept asking me to change car, since this is a good time to do so... think... think... i decided to stick to my plan.

I reached home after dinner, I changed and run off to my usual neighbourhood. Running to the Exxon station in about 25mins. distance 4km. i keep the cadence fast and short stride. After a short break, i started to run towards velocity. Running there, i could stride better and wider. The quads tonight is strong and could pushed further. My breathing is good too as the weather was quite cooling. finished the run in good form

finished the distance 9km
time: 55min (included some walks and traffic light waiting)
going to rest tonight, after 3 nights of hard work.
