Running through the Big Beautiful Garden
So cute and cuddly and her cheeks are so chubby! She was preparing to go to nenek's place and at least for this week, she did not cry when i carried her.. Hehehe! Yay! But she did vomit a lot on me...
Everytime i see her, she gets a lot more chubby. She's been feeding a lot i heard and she's even trying to talk now with all the 'goo-goo gaa-gaa'.. Sometimes, i feel like biting her cheeks! And when she sleeps face-down, the face crumples up and it looks so funny!
Anyway, Mie and I met up today to go running at Botanic Gardens. A sanctuary in the middle of Singapore with many expats over the weekends. Sometimes, i wonder why Singaporeans don't really appreciate the beauty we have in our own backyard. We see so many Filippinos, Ang Mos and Bangladeshis but we see so few locals.
It was a beautiful place with great 'landmark' items that we marked as our waypoints. The great white verandah, the Giant Tree, the Cactus Garden, the Swan Lake and so on... It was such a scenic run, different sort of scenic compared to the nature trails like Ubin, MacRitchie and Bukit Timah. It was like a 'garden run'...a BIG garden! Here are the photos from the outing today...I was so unprepared for today's run. It was impromptu. I had to use my lil' sis shorts, and an old pair of shoe that i got from way back around 5 years ago. I think it was the first version of Nike Free. I was already researching on barefoot running back then and the Nike Free was somewhat the first commercially available shoes in the mass market. So i got one!
It was not quite stable in design yet as the heel-cup was 'cloth' material which tore easily. The flexible upper material caused the insole to move around so easily and get out of place, which irked me while running. But it was very light and flexible and i loved the freedom it gave me back then. So today, i dug it out, all torn and tattered. I took out the insoles and it was ready for a run! It lasted all the way even with it soles coming off. Hahaha... after barefoot running and understanding that shoes are there just for protection, any shoes (as long as it's light and flexible) can cut it!
Yeah, anyway...it was an enjoyable run! We ran and enjoyed the scenery. Looked at the kids playing in the fields and the ducks in the water. Jumpin to touch leaves above us and looking at weird plants... It's a long time since we ran together like that... i love it when she smiles as she runs. It makes me feel lighter. Of course, we camwhored! We always do...
And yeah... today's weekend vital stats update...
