the pencil runs

Unlike the previous four runs, the name for Week 5's run is contentious. It is a narrow fight between

• The West Coast Park Run: Labrador Park-West Coast Park-Pandan Reservoir-Chinese Garden *descriptive*
  
• The Just-How-Small-is-Singapore Run *inductive*
  
• The we-are-never-going-to-make-it-so-let's-just-give-up Run *emotive*
  

The name West Coast Park Run is descriptive. We ran from the Southern tip of Singapore to the Chinese Garden, which was decorated with colourful lanterns for the mooncake festival.



The name Just-How-Small-is-Singapore Run is inductive, as can be seen in this map:



That is the whole of Singapore you see. That purple line you see is only 17.5km, so just how small is Singapore exactly?

And the we-are-never-going-to-make-it-so-let's-just-give-up Run is emotive, as evidenced by having to stop because of knee pain before we even hit the 20km mark.

Die.

And so what do you do when you are discouraged because you have neither speed nor endurance? Pretend you are as fast as speeding train.
