MR 20KM

Today went down to MR for a 20km run, in prep for tao & piglet TNF100.

XZ, tao, piglet, CCF, tiamjiak, Jen & stuck plus cutie who made we wait for her for 20mins before we can start our run.. .haizzzz. Also saw the other group from sgrunner doing their trg for TNF100.

Knowing well that I haven't fully recover from my coughing plus no trg throughout last week.. I decide to pace myself steadily for this run.... Regroup at the first exit to famous 2 hills... can feel my fitness not up to par... tired legs..

Feeling my energy level drop when I hit Rifle Range Rd..... damn.... Legs feels like jelly....

Glad that i manage to complete wo issue.... not a good run.... not a good run

Do U Have Running Etiquette?

Recently there was "debate" in the forum due to the last AHM held last sunday.

People was voicing out their fustrations of being blocked by slower runners, thus making diffcult for them to run fast and achieve their PB. There lots of talk of starting in the wrong pen... People just refusing to let you past... People running in zig-zag rather than in the straight line.. For one I ran 80% of the ECP route on the side grass so that I dun have to cut through people.

I guess its still a long long way for Singaporeans to reach the level of running etiquette as in overseas races. Until we reach there, I guess its best the enjoy & soak into the atomsphere of running rather than complaining... for thats what running is all about. To me running is for enjoyment, to enjoy the experience to race & the scenery that the race can offer to you.... PB is a bonus...

What My Name Means... How True????

What Lim Ming Kiat Terence Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

Quote of the Day

"No matter how old I get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. My times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others." Dr.George Sheehan

Physio @ SGH

Attended my first phsyio @ SGH. The queue time was short as I manage to get the first appt for the day. The moment she examine my legs... WOW YOUR ITB SO TIGHT... I was like... "if not tight why come & see u .... kekeke". She stretch my legs in a few awakard angles & saw my walking stride.. Did some DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE on my left leg.... and boy legs feels lighter after that...manage to conclude a few things for me.

1. ITB tight, must stretch daily at least 5 times if possible (i was again like.huh)
2. Taught me two deep stretches & ask me the add the tennis ball for more shiok PAIN.
3. Conclude that my foot seems to be normal arch but when walking it tends to collaspe, so she recommended me to wear cushioning shoe for more support.
4. May need to get softer in soles for better support....

To see her in a weeks time.... so time to stretch & stretch....
