Botanic Garden Run

In order to make up the shortage in mileage for this week, I decided to join the sgrunners Bontanic Garden Run this morning. Meet up in Evans Road and the route go through the city including Orchard Road, Tanglin Road, Holland Road, loop around Botanic Garden and ending with Evans Road. I can barely keep up in the first 3km and really fall behind after 7km. I have to take a short cut. The original route was 18km and I did a shortcut and it becomes 13.2km Other than my 10km, never practice that hard in the first 5km. End up average pace is about 7.2km overall. Body holds up ok even I just back-to-back long run. Here is the link to the sgrunners monthly Botanic Garden run in the forum.
