Summer Night RUN (RUNmadan Testing)
June 10,2014

Yes...
I need to test the summer weather while running at Dubai streets at night.

With my daughter as my pacer, we OFF to run from IKEA Dubai (Dubai Festival City, Umm Ramool)
     towards Garhoud Bridge to Zabeel Park...where we will be having a speed training with FRU
    Running Group.





We started to run at 6:30 pm.

When we reach Garhoud Bridge...we ran full stretch except when we stop
for selfie. Difficult to breathe on our entire run...maybe because of hot weather.

By the way, I ran with RUNmadan Running Shirt (red color).

2 Stops...Al Ramool Area & Oud Metha Area

We reached Zabeel Park around 7:45pm. DONE 9K!

============================================

DAY 1 PRE-RUNmadan 2014




I started to run at Gate 1, Zabeel Park where I met Ronald and Paul of FiT and
Elen Elegado & co. of FRU. Purposely start to ran  on that side for tonight's meeting.

I start to run here at FRU's Crib - Gate 3 Zabeel Park

From Gate 1 to 3 is almost 750 meters. Pour my 1.5 liters bottle and start to run.

Climbing at bridge overpass to reach my 1st stop.

Unlike last year...
few people walking on the street, but today....even kids still playing on the street,
because maybe the weather is still good.

1st MOSQUE VISIT: KARAMA Fish Market Mosque

1st Stop - Karama Fish Market Mosque

When I reached on 5th Mosque...

This is the best thing in the pre - run...you will know what is the problem
ahead of time and you can solve or re-route it before the actual run.
