A blog about me, home, health, food and anything under the sun
I’ve been feeling the blues lately but after today’s 17 km run I felt on top of the world once again. Running is still one of the best (temporary) therapies. Oh yes, I haven’t done long runs in ages! My last long run (17 km) was over a year …
I took a really really reaaaalllly long break after my last marathon. Yesterday, after a conversation with my co-workers about this year’s Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore, I seriously felt like signing up for the full distance! Well, my mind was telling me to GO FOR IT but my body was telling me NOT to (for [...]
Happy Wednesday! It was time to replace my old pair of Adidas running shoes with a new one. I chose the latest Mizuno Wave Rider 13 this time. I started using Mizuno shoes back in 2005 — wow that was sooooo long ago! Can’t believe I was running in shoe of size US6.5 back then. [...]
Hitting the road this evening for a (one hour) run did wonders. I ran wherever my legs wanted to. I had no watch, no nothing — I don’t use gadgets anymore. I don’t even remember what went through my mind during my run! heh. Soon after I came back home I prepared dinner. I’ve been [...]

Evening all! I just came back from my 9 km (or more) run . A good way to start the week eh. Glad that Monday is over! Wow it’s almost the end of January. I have something to confess. I have not taken down my Christmas tree yet!! I guess I wasn’t in the mood [...]
