Tanjung Tokong/Tanjung Bungah Run - Supermoon Run (April 20)

3/20 - Stayed overnight at Tanjung Bungah Hotel with the kids as part of the Mar'2011 school activity.. and I had the opportunity to run at the Tanjung Tokong and Tanjung Bungah stretch.

That was the supposedly Supermoon (where the moon was nearest to the earth) night. I started out at 6:15am and ran towards the Seri Tanjong Pinang and Stratits Quay. Met a big group of runners running in from Island Plaza.. Guess they are the early runners from Youth Park.. Huge groups, I would say 30-40 of them but scattered due to the different pace..

Di a loop around Straits Quay and Seri Tanjong Pinang, then ran back towards the hotel and up to the Pearl Hill. Since I wanted to catch the sunrise, I decided not to go up the Pearl Hill and turned back instead.. The stretch from Tanjung Bungah Hotel to Pearl Hill is pretty steep and narrow by the roadside, quite dangerous.

Total distance covered : 7.42KM, Speed : 9.38 KM/Hr and Pace of 6:24 min/KM.
