Hi there,


me staying at serangoon. just glanced through a few posts in this thread.

autumnbronze, where exactly do you stay? saw u mentioned that you used to jog at NYJC track. well, i had jogged there for 20+ yrs, and yes, was quite upset when they decided to not let residents use the track anymore nowadays… i jog around the neighbourhood instead now (lor chuan, ave 2, ave 3), rather than go all the way to serangoon stadium.

actually i’ve not jogged much for a few years from late 03 until recently. had been busy with work and kids’ first few years. now that it’s slightly better (and also cos feel that better try to keep healthy/fit), had recently started again. but too bad as 2 wk ago went to play soccer with colleagues and tore my hamstring… will again be grounded for a while.

maybe we had met before…

Hi atrecord,

I used to bring my DS to the track, esp late 2008/early 2009. DS would give me a hi-fi everytime I complete a round.

I used to jog ard the neighbourhood, same route as you but DH advised me not to anymore cuz not good for the knees in the long run.

Now, trying to shed the pounds off by stair-climbing and occassional jog at Serangoon. I actually like going there cuz its really windy. But, yeah ... its a drive/long walk away

So, yup we could have been at the same place and at the same time ....

Hi autumnbronze,

ard end 08 to early 09, i was still in hiatus. only restarted jogging around Oct 09. before that was prob once in few mth. on the rare occasions when I did manage to get into nyjc after work then, the guard would chase users away at 7 pm. i'll still jog on and gesture to him (while panting) that it's last round... 2 rounds later he will be fed up and tell me i'm getting him into trouble...

on the road being bad for the knees, yes that's always gonna be true no matter what you do. indeed the rubber tracks will be help a bit but it's also mitigated to some extent if you wear a decent pair of jogging shoes with good cushioning. The only way to avoid such strain on the knees is to swim instead. Years back when I got a back injury, both the chinese sinseh and the ortho told me the same thing. Actually I think unless you have some old/existing injury, most pple should be able to take some strain jogging on cement ground if you wear decent jogging shoes. to me, the exhaust fume from the traffic on the main road on boundary rd/lor chuan is more of a prob than the ground

oh, btw, i think climbing stairs is gonna strain one's kness more than jogging on firm ground.

so are you staying at the HDB flats or the condos in the vicinity?
