Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down. We are finishing up our epic trip to The Maldives and Singapore today. I can’t wait to share more about our trip in another post but for now I am giving you a quick run down Singapore Style. Please forgive any weird formatting as I created this on my phone.
Weekly Run Down Singapore Style
Monday- Pool Bike Fitness Class
First time taking a spin class with an underwater bike. Interesting concept for sure. All of the resistance comes from pedaling in the water. Perhaps because I could not feel myself sweating, it did not feel as strenuous as a regular class. Very fun to try though.
Tuesday-Travel day
It was hard to leave this idyllic island but it was time for the next leg of our journey. After another short sea plane ride, we took another 4.5 hour flight back to Singapore. The evening skyline is pretty amazing.
Wednesday-cooking class & sightseeing
All of us love to cook and taking cooking classes when we travel is always a favorite activity. We learned how to make wontons and Chicken Rice ( a Singapore favorite). Then spent a few hours sightseeing.
Headed over to see a Buddhist temple which was really spectacular.
I even got in a quick 30 m elliptical as well.
Thursday-4 mile run
Got my butt out of bed a 6 am which never happens! It’s so humid and hot here I had to do it. So glad that I did! this Helix bridge is a famous landmark. Fun to meet a few other runners out there too. Logged a total of 8 miles with all the sightseeing.
Friday-3 mile run
I had trouble sleeping again so I figured I might as well just get up and run again. spent the morning touring the Marina Bay Gardens and Flower Gardens.
We learned how to make the famous Singapore Sling in a cocktail class.
Saturday and Sunday- Travel back home
If all goes well I will back home late Sunday evening.
Looking forward to being back in my regular time zone today! Thanks for joining us for the Weekly Run Down Singapore Style.
How fun to run in Singapore! I can’t wait to read more about your trip. I hear that Singapore is a hot tourist attraction as of lately! Did you take any photos of the airport? I hear that is an attraction in itself! -M
The airport is really cool there. I saw the waterfall and the butterfly garden.
Such an amazing family adventure! It’s been fun traveling (and running LOL) virtually with you the past couple weeks 😉
Thanks! Yes we had an amazing trip but glad to be heading home for a few days at least!
It sounds like you’ve had an amazing trip! That bridge is really cool. And we like cooking classes too (although we haven’t done that many of them).
We love to do cooking classes when we travel such a fun way to connect w the local people
That pool bike fitness class sounds amazing! I’ve never tried anything like that before.
Love hearing about all of your adventures this week, and your photos were spectacular!
Thanks! We had an amazing trip me almost home and cannot wait to get into my bed
Underwater spin? That’s advanced!! Lovely pictures. I can’t seem to comment on Kim’s blog from my laptop so hoping she sees this and knows I will once I’m back on the PC! I have linked to her blog in my post, too.
yes it was a fun and different experience for sure! NO prob on the comments we got ya!
What an amazing trip you’ve had! I’d love to go to Singapore. It looks so lovely and clean! Anxious to hear more.
It is such an interesting city and yes very clean!
Everything in Singapore looks so magical (and foreign!!). Can’t wait to see more pictures of your trip. It sounds so amazing.
Yes there is kind of a Disney feel to much of the city. It’s a fun place to visit
I think I would have loved the wonton cooking class and the flower gardens. I love exploring new cities through food and running 🙂 Safe travels home!
Those are 2 of my favorite things as well! Finally got home
WOW Singapore! I’ve heard great things about it – my parents just went there for vacation. I love doing cooking classes abroad 🙂
It was an amazing place to visit. We love to take cooking classes while traveling
That looks amazing. I can’t wait to hear more. The Helix Bridge looks cool and the contrast of the modern with the Buddha is striking. How cool to do a cooking class over there. And a cocktail class too it sounds like?
Yes the city is full of modern and older traditional influence. Very cool! Yes the cooking class was a blast. Hope to get a more detailed post up soon!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Singapore photos with us! What an exotic location to visit. The Helix Bridge looks so cool. 8 miles in the heat and humidity while on vacation?!?! Wow!
Those vacation runs were not easy but I have a Ragnar race this weekend! Crazy huh!?
I’ve enjoyed seeing your posts on IG & Facebook. It looks like you had an amazing trip!
We really did thanks!
I loved seeing all of your pictures! What a great time you must have had with your family.
Love that even on vacation you still managed to get your workouts done.
We did have a great time! While I did not do nearly as much exercise as usual, I tried to get in a few workouts
How fun! Underwater spin class…interesting? Hope your travels home are uneventful!
The underwater bike class was fun and different. Finally made it home exhausted but all good thanks
I’ve been following your journey on IG and it looks just incredible! The garden towers — whoa. Have so much fun on the rest of your trip!
Thanks we just got home last night. Fabulous trip!
That cooking class sounds so fun! I wonder if pool biking starts to feel harder after you do it a few times and get used to the motions; that’s how pool running was for me.
Maybe! I have a pool running system that I really enjoy at home and I find it really challenging
I cannot seem to comment on your blog maybe they went to spam??
Such a fun vacation! I miss my old running spots 🙂 Singapore is SO humid but it’s great that there’s other runners out so early!
I met so many people out there on those early runs!
What an amazing trip! I would love to get out to some of the Far East in our travels. The architecture and food must be so different and yet so incredible. We haven’t made it that far from home quite yet, but maybe one day.
thank you so much for sharing your adventures!
Thanks we really did have a fantastic time. I hope to do a full recap post this week if I can get my act together
It sounds like you had a wonderful trip! I love seeing all of your pictures on Instagram.
Thanks for the linkup!
We really did thanks!
Beautiful photos! It sounds like it was a wonderful trip 🙂
It really was amazing!
That helix bridge looks amazing!
Wish I’d had more time to explore Singapore. Used to pass through with some frequency between Japan and Australia
