I finally had the guts to put on my running clothes and sample the route that I surveyed last week at the Domain. I'm definitely out of shape coz it only took 10 minutes for me to start panting. I had to walk every now and then. It's sunny and the heat (at 23C) was a bit too much for me. Maybe I need to get used to it but I don't know how without putting myself at risk of having another migraine. So there I was panting, getting distracted with the trees, and the relaxing feeling whenever I go for a stroll there. I'm quite pleased to be this close to the Domain. My entire work life was often situated in commercial areas, where a building sits next to another building. And where the only sign of nature are the potted plants or the "fake" trees that were planted in commercial spaces just so it would look nice. Here you know that the trees has been around for a while and that buildings were erected around it. I actually enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood, or all the way to the Domain during lunch break as it helps me clear my thoughts and pump some blood into my system. Can't help but feel grateful for having this as a daily experience.
