Toyota 10K 2008

It was tougher than I first anticipated. But no soreness or any signs of injury on the next day and the day after. Maybe I could have done better and improve my split time per km but overall I felt good after the run.

Nagoya CIty Marathon 2008

After much deliberation and also, conflict with timing and work, I've decided to skip the Nagoya City Marathon this year and hope to join the next year's race.

Tokyo Marathon 2009 Training Schedule

I’ve made my own marathon training schedule adapted from Hal Higdon's MARATHON TRAINING GUIDE. So far, so good! The only comment I have in my first few runs is that fitting all the short runs in my schedule with my work commitment is fairly hard. I have to juggle all of the days to achieve the weekly mileage target. I will try and keep it up until the Toyota 10K and alter it a little thereafter.

Nemo is in!

I received an email confirmation yesterday and I have been selected for the Tokyo Marathon 2009, which will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Office Building from 9:00am on Sunday, 22nd March 2009. It’s gonna be my first full marathon so wish me luck. Gambarimasu!

Anjali Yoga

Anjali Yoga is based in Cape Town, South Africa. It offers a more complete, holistic approach of yoga to strengthen, energise and even detoxify or purify, in a spiritual sense, your entire body. The instructor, a good friend of nemo, is a fantastic humatarian and will be more than happy to show and guide you the beauty of your inner self through yoga and dance. She’s been taught in a traditional way and even went to the Himalayas to acquire the technique. R.UN Japan is very proud of Anjali Yoga and would like to recommend everyone to contribute one way or another to bringing peace in the world. And remember, it all starts from within.
