Feeling good !

Went to the Cage for the first time on Sunday's morning after our football match was postponed due to the sudden downpour on Saturday.

There were initially only 6 of us and we played 3 a side but 2 more (Jimmy & a friend of George) came and we played 4 a side for about an hour. It was very siong but very good training as the non-stop action meant that one hardly had time to get one's breath.

Had a busy day at the office but felt good. Managed to hop onto the treadmill for 20mins during lunch time. The bonus was that despite the run, felt the urge to run again after watching the 9.30 news. Went for an enjoyable 3km jog from home to Yishun MRT, mother-in-law's place, Chong Pang CC and back home. Only problem still feeling awake now at 1.25am thus updating the blog :-).

Finally, managed to run again.

Went down with flu after last Sunday's friendly football match. Ashley & Audrey went down with flu too. Not sure who was the one who brought the virus home.

Got our maid on Wenesday night. So far so good but fingers remain crossed. A combination of work and phelgm-filled nose meant that I was unable to run until Saturday's afternoon. Send my wife to class and detoured to MacRitchie Reservoir on the way home. Run for about 40 mins and felt okay.

Mizuno Precision 6

Bought these shoes from WOS for $77.50. WOS currently offering a few models at 50% discount. The original price for Wave Precision 6 and the current price for Wave Precision 7 is $155.00. I supposed the selling price at Queensway would be about $120+ so at $77.50, I figured it was quite a good deal.

Ran in these shoes for 3 times (each run about 5-7km) and found them to be good (at least for now) as the shoes felt light yet provide sufficient cushioning. In fact I like them so much that I went back and bought another pair (in silver & orange) and intend to rotate between the 2 pairs.

New Year Resolutions

Made a few resolutions. Some are personal and should be kept that way.

Otherwise, to serve as a reminder to myself, my resolutions include :

a. To run every 3rd day (at least 30 mins each time);

b. To watch what/when/the amount I eat and drink; and

c. Stop shouting at A&A.


Aim to take part in the following :

a. The Real Run;

b. Army Half Marathon; and

c. Standard Chartered Marathon (made a pact with Kev).
