Running

Man, I love running outdoors. I've got a bum right knee that acts up occasionally, but that hasn't barred me from my running routine.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no marathon runner or fitness enthusiast. But theres something magical about running outdoors and having a chance to soak in the scenery. A mother pushing a child on a pram by the riverside, dogs running along the beach on sentosa, friends sharing a laugh as they head to victoria concert hall. And of course, other friendly runners who give a nice wave and thumbs up to me during my runs.

I've found a cool new site that allows me to map my outdoor routes. True, slightly on the obsessive side, but its still cool to see where I run. Here, i've appended route maps i've created below. Maybe you could try them out sometime.

More about Providers
Providers like to make plans with other people and then to work with them towards achievable goals in a fun, harmonious environment. They support people that are important to them and respect their individuality.


Provider is the most common personality type for women in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.

Providers have traditional values and support order and responsible behaviour. They enjoy social events, particularly family celebrations, and often help plan them. Providers work hard to avoid conflict, but they will state their beliefs when they think it is suitable.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Providers may doubt their abilities and focus solely on the needs of other people. Under extreme stress, Providers may withdraw completely and become excessively critical of themselves and others.

Providers prefer warm, face-to-face communication and often express their ideas by telling stories from their own lives.

Provider Careers
Providers are often drawn to jobs in education, health care or religion.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.
