Addicted to running?

Spend a couple of days in Singapore recently. And of course, visited the Universal Studio and casinos. The casinos are really not my cup of tea. The Universal Studio carrys a bit more excitement especially "Transformer The Ride" but find the roller-coaster not that exciting.

But the number of runners at the Marina Bay Sands was quite a surprise to me. Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resorts fronting Marina Bay which is a really nice place to run. Initially, I was standing in front of the ArtScience Museum just appreciating the architecture in the evening. The ArtScience Museum has an interesting architecture which looks like a lotus flower with lotus pond beneath it.

Then, I started to notice a few runners and it gets more and more later in the evening. Not only male runners but a lot of female runners also. Obviously, at places like this, the runners are very nicely dressed even for running. I saw only two guys running in Vibrams. By the way, Vibrams cost more in Singapore than Malaysia. At this point of time, I am just itching to run. Signs of an addiction to running? I would like to join them and sweat it out in long jeans. But sweatiness is just not appropriate as I have to travel back on MRT later. Would not want to stinks after that. A real urge to run. And Singaporeans are really a health conscious lot and it is a Thursday and not on a weekend yet seeing the huge number of runners.

Singaporeans like to run with an IPhone on the armband. All the runners are fashionably dressed.
