baking and running
OK, working towards my next run - the final one for the year - 5 Dec 2010 - Singapore's Standard Chartered Marathon.
Still not clocking enough miles.... have to do my 30 km soon as I need to start tapering.... sigh.
Doesn't help that I had a tough kickboxing class on Tuesday. That drained me so it was a struggle to run just 18km last night man!! Body is sore all over.... will rest today and try another run Saturday.
Meanwhile... on the sweet side (pun intended)... baked myself muffins on Tuesday (4 flavours - Vanilla, Vanilla/Chocolate, Orange and Coffee) and yesterday, I baked my new Signature cake - BCH!!! Banana Coffee Horlicks haha Check it out....

Updates
WOW!!! I've truly neglected updating my blog!!
The Newton Run on 10 October 2010 went very well.... though I thought it would be boring running 3 rounds of 10km each but it was actually quite fun and cos after the first round, the route was familiar so pacing myself was easy. Had a respectable time and I didn't 'hurt' too much post race!!! phew!!
Then a couple weeks after that, I had an enjoyable run at the Nike City Challenge (24 October 2010). It was really a sight being part of the sea of luminous yellow shirts running along the road. One really needed a pair of sunglasses and its not because of the sun!!!
In between all that, I've been experimenting on a few brownie recipes and... I just created my BCH cake.... Banana Coffee Horlick haha.... need to intensify the Horlick flavour and that will make the cake perfect!! Once that is done, pictures will follow....
Have signed up for the Solomon X Trail on 14 November and then finally to cap the year, the Standard Chartered Marathon will be on 5 Dec 2010.
Meanwhile, I'm off to Bangkok with wife for a short R&R.... she shopping and me by the pool, eating and MASSAGES!!! haha
