Setbacks

Yep, I haven't been too well lately. But I think it wouldn't be that long till I get my feet back into running stride.

TM10 Training Schedule

I plan to kick start my training on Sunday, 1st November. So ready or not, here I run.

TM10

I’m in! And my mate isn’t. Which makes me a lucky lucky fella or am I? The truth is I haven’t done any form of training at all and I’m scared! So today, I’ve been skimming through some websites to give me some aid and create a comprehensive training program. Deep down I’m looking forward to it but it seems like my selection isn’t too much of a surprise to everyone. To that extent, I feel I'm all alone on this one. But what concerns me most is my physical state especially my ever nagging knees. I gotta get over this obstacle first and stay fit.

So busy!

Training is on hold.

Deja vu?

This time the Toyota 10K 2009 is full. Maybe it's a sign.

It's full!

What the... My group may have been late in applying as the Nagoya City Marathon 2009 reached its full capacity. Almost 3 months ahead which is kinda weird coz last year applications were accepted up until the very last day before the event. I saw the ad. Anyway, I'm out! So, a half-marathon run will have to wait.

Well done Eddie!

Who would imagine a once high-heeled wearer comedian would achieve such heights of 43 marathons in 52 days? And he did it all for the sake of charity, Sports Relief. I must admit, that’s powerful! But there were some skeptics saying a 10-hour run doesn’t count as a marathon because it is almost like walking pace. With very lil prep time, Izzard, did well. Actually, he got better and sped up to a decent 5-hour per marathon towards the end. I bet it was both mentality and physically gruelling. But tremendous work, indeed Eddie. You’re a legend! Even the dubbed ultra-marathoner, Dean Karnazes, who once ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days in the US, would be proud of you.
