Jogging from Jl Riau via Jl Sekolah and Jembatan Siak IV (Sunday 7 April 2019)

-
No mine: google map
Last week (3 April 2019) I tried jogging from Jl Riau direct to Jembatan Siak IV, the newly opened bridge connecting Pekanbaru Business District in Jl Sudirman to Rumbai on the other side until Mesjod Istiqamah at the tip of Jl Sembilang.

Not mine: google map
It was a 5.5 km stretch from Lily Spring Garden. I jogged it forth and back. The total jogging distance was then 11 km with some walking and exploring under the bridge. It took me around 2 hours to do so including some stopovers at the middle of the bridge to savor the beautiful view of Siak River. It was in Jl Istiqamah that I saw a road going back to the other bridge in Siak River but it was already hot under the sun so I decided to jog through it some other time.

This Sunday (7 April 2019) I thought of jogging again. This time passing through the Jembatan Leton 1, then Jl Yus Sodarso, Jl Sekolah, Jl Sembilang and Siak Bridge IV and back to Lily Spring Garden.

The distance from Lily Spring Garden to Mesjid Istiqamah is around 6.1 km via Google map. And the way back is 5.5 km. Making a total of 11.6 km but I also had rounds at the Port near Mesjid Istiqama and some pass through the corner of Jl Sudarso and Jl Sekolah so I would add 400m. Those distances totaled to 12km. It took me 1 hour and 14 minutes to complete the jog going and coming back home.

Next time, I will try the Jl Paus route where I would see the Chevron Park and the rotunda near it. I will also expect to see a stadium in Rumbai and other beautiful natural sights.

It gives an illusion that it is slanting
I did not have any photo though because I left my phone in order not to be a burden in my jogging. The photos here are taken before jogging and culled from Google.

Distances:
Lily Spring Garden to Mesjid Stiqamah: 6.1 km
Mesjid Stiqamah to Lily Spring Garden: 5.5 km
TOTAL: 11.6 km/ 1.25 h
SPEED: 9.28 km/h

Ang Troso

Ang Troso 27 June 2007 Ako ay isang troso, mula sa kaitaasan ng bundok ng Sierra Madre at Cordillera, ako ay naglalakbay sa kahabaan ng Ilog Cagayan pababa hangang madaanan ko ang mga iba’t ibang probinsya ng Isabela, Apayao, Cagayan, at iba pang pareing binabagtas at binabaybay ng pinakamahabang ilog sa Pilipinas. Ang aking paglalakbay ay kakitaan ng magkakaibang bilis at bagal ng pag-usad dulot narin ng ibat ibang bilis ng agos na syang tumatangay sa akin pababa sa bukana ng ilog. Gusto ko mang madaliin ang paglakbay, hindi ko magawa sapagkat ang bilis ng aking pag usad ay nakaayon sa bilis ng tubig na syang kumakandong sa akin. May mga pagkakataon pa na ako ay nahihinto ng matagal dahil sa mga balakid na kahoy, dumi at maliliit na isla na syang humaharang sa pagagos ng tubig na tumatangay sa akin. Marubdob ang aking hangarin na makita ang karagatan. Ganun paman, marami rin akong masasayang karanasan sa aking paglakbay. Una na rito ang kagandahan ng ibat ibang lugar na aking...

Go Solo Adventures England

English breakfast The UK is an acronym of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland . Geographically, like the Philippines, it looks like an archipelago separated from the rest of mainland European countries. If the Philippines has the sobriquet, the Pearl of the Orient Seas , the UK seems to be a Pearl of the Occident Seas as it lies surrounded by waters and off the coast of European nations. It is also a nation that virtually influences many states on Earth because of its past commercial and colonial powers. It has left its hegemony over the nations that it commercially governed through the British East India Company during the time of colonization and over the states created by its former citizens. It is the origin of the English language which is widely learned by many people around the world today.  It is also known as England, but this is a misnomer because the UK includes other states and kingdoms such as Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
