September Gardens Mist


There was a thickening cloud of haze all morning, followed by heavy rainfall at 5:30pm, threatening to ruin our plans for the inaugural tour to our September Gardens by the Bay route.  Still, none of this could put a dampener on the Brooks Run Happies as they ventured their way down to Marina Square.



All who came were amply rewarded as the rain called for a stop at 7pm, opening up to clearer skies after the wash down, and putting up a cooler feel to the whole atmosphere.  The early rains also caused many visitors to stay away, leaving the run routes much clearer and free to run.


We had a most interesting recce tour of the new Brooks Gardens route, even having time to enjoy the 10min ensemble by the Supertrees and roaming about to savor the crisp cool air.  The 5.5km run was just the warm-up we needed to prepare for the weekend's Bay Run/AHM.  



The makan session post-run was yet another enjoyable affair of chatter over food, glorious, food...all not before making a toast to all of us to have a Run Happy at the AHM.  Why Worry, Run Happy Lah!
