15/04/2008 Night Run

Due to the time constraint, didn't join the gang @ CBD.

Did my own night run, manage to cover 8.1km w/o flaring up my ITB. heng....

Went for deep tissue massage today, another session of sweet sweet pain. Paying to experience PAIN, dun think much people will do that. Found out that my left ITB is tighten than my right but my ITBS appears on my right... strange....

How True

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big notice on the door on which it was written: 'Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym'.

In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room.

The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!'. One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.

There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a note next to the mirror that said:

'There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU. You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

'The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself'

Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality.

It's the way you face Life that makes the difference.

Dust Run @ 11/04/2008

Together w the Too Family (xiao zhu, tao, ZBJ, CCF, seo, tiamjiak) join the first Dusty Run @ NTU. Thanks tao for the ride to clementi.

Run start @ 10.20pm as some pple were late. Initial plan to was do 20km, ending @ west coast mac. I started off slow, duno whether my ITB would flare up again. The NTU hills were a killer had a stop & walk as I would feel strain on the outer knee. Manage to reach the entrance of NTU w/o major issue, then it was straight to Lim Chun Kang cementry. Manage to pass by Dreamrunner telling me to place the Pattstrap under my tights. Thanks for the advice.
Can feel the compression much more better than outside.

It was a very demoralisng route, man. U can smell the chicken shit all the way, plus there wasn't any support & break point. Manage to complete to stretch, by the time reaching NTU entrance again.... knee was feeling sore. The Too family called it a day as XZ was tapering for his China IM, next week.

We walk all the way to the petrol station for a water break & headed back to west coast mac.

The ITB pain was back the moment i release the pattstrap.... damn pain... need to roll roll.... haiz

We head to UTB for supper before parting ways. Overall not a very good run.

Will still go for SDM, but aim for completion.

All the Best XiaoZhu.... for your China IM..... jia you

How Marathon (42.195KM) began

A few days ago someone ask me, how marathon started. I guess it would be a shame to be able to run a marathon but is unable to know its origins. For those who wish to know, read on:

The modern Athens Marathon commemorates the run of the soldier Pheidippides from a battlefield at the site of the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C., bringing news of a Greek victory over the Persians. Legend has it that Pheidippides delivered the momentous message "Niki!" ("victory"), then collapsed and died, thereby setting a precedent for dramatic conclusions to the marathon.

When the modern Olympic games were inaugurated in 1896 in Greece, the legend of Pheidippides was revived by a 24.85 mile (40,000 meters) run from Marathon Bridge to Olympic stadium in Athens. Traditionally the final event in the Olympics, the first organized marathon on April 10, 1896 was especially important to all Greeks. Greece was hosting those first modern Olympic Games. The Greeks had yet to win a medal, and had one final chance to bring glory to their nation. Twenty-five runners assembled on Marathon Bridge. The starter mumbled a few words and fired the gun, and the race was on. "The excitement of the crowd waiting at the finish line at the newly constructed replica of Athens' ancient stadium was beyond description" writes the Greek historian Quercetani. Spiridon Louis, a Greek postal worker from the village of Marusi and veteran of several long military marches, crossed the finish line a full seven minutes ahead of the pack. His time was 2 hours, 58 minutes, 50 seconds for the 40 kilometer distance (average pace of 7:11 minutes per mile). When it was all over nine runners finished, 8 of them Greeks. The host nation was ecstatic, and the marathon was born.

The United States was one of 9 nations at the 1896 Athens Olympics, thanks to sponsorship of athletes by the Boston Athletic Association. Middle distance runner Arthur Blake was the only American to enter the first marathon. Blake won a silver medal in the 1500 meters 3 days before the marathon but unfortunately this left him exhausted and he dropped out after about 14.5 miles. Planning for North America's first marathon began on the boat back to United States. The first annual Boston Athletic Association marathon was conducted on April 19, 1897, the date chosen to commemorate the famous ride of Paul Revere in 1775.

At the 1908 Olympic Games in London, the marathon distance was changed to 26.2 miles to cover the ground from Windsor Castle to White City stadium, with the 2.2 miles added on so the race could finish in front of royal family's viewing box. This added two miles to the course, and is the origin of the Marathon tradition of shouting "God save the Queen!" (or other words relating to the Queen) as mile post 24 is passed. After 16 years of extremely heated discussion, this 26.2 mile distance was established at the 1924 Olympics in Paris as the official marathon distance.

Today, marathons have become a running tradition throughout the world. Yet the annual Marathon at Athens, where it all began, has a tradition and an appeal like no other. In 1996, the 100th anniversary of the modern Athens Marathon, more than 3,000 runners from every part of the world gathered to run in the footsteps of Pheidippides
