Art of running

Never thought that there are so much knowledge into running.
Most of us probably will just run for the sake of fitness, or part of physical training.
I came to realise that there are more to it.
Recently bought a book about running techniques - Master the Art of Running.
Halfway through the book, i had already found myself running the wrong way.
Now, you are probably wondering is that a wrong way of running.
Well, the answer is yes and many of us are doing it.

I have been running for the past 1 year, never did i think about the way i run
or the way i breathe, the way i land my foot.
Although my timing had improved through the year, i find myself stuck at a
point where i could not exceed myself.
No doubt i have been running very regularly but running the wrong way as well.
Even though many regards me a good runner now, i do not see myself as good
or near the best. Instead, i'm still far away as good.

There seem to be a new leash of life in running now.
There are so much to learn about this simple sport.
From posture to breathing to technique, i seem to be starting all over again.
But i am glad i learning the right way now.
I got the foundation. I just need to correct and get used to the corrrect way of running.
It is going to be difficult but definitely beneficial.

Learn the art of running and enjoy it.
Then results will come...

折磨人的愛情

究竟兩個人在一起是為了什麼?
在一起是為了分手嗎?
當下的人是否認真想過.
曾經許下的承諾,
如今又剩下什麼.
可憐了那些為愛痴狂的人.
可憐了那些為愛傷害的人.
我只想保護和珍惜愛我的人.
愛情不就莫過於此嗎..

End of 2009 races

It has been a year of milestones for me.

I challenged my limits and what a way to end 2009.

It started off in April when i set myself a target to acieve IPPT gold.

I got it from my second try.

After which i decided to run more and longer distances.

Army half marathon was the first.

I averaged from 30-50km every week,running day in day out.

It paid off as i begin running more comfortably and faster.

Running the full marathon was not on my agenda initially.

But with more than 6mths to train, i thought i'll give it a try.

The training was never easy.

Clocking distances i had never ran before.

It just gets further and further each week.

The completion of the race without stopping was satisfying.

A realistic target was set and i ran well below it.

Well, with my first marathon done, more were to come.

Resolutions for next year is simple, run more and faster.

when the going gets tough, it's just mind over body....
