Christmas 2010

Baked Fruit Cakes, Carrot Cakes, Cheese Cakes, Banana Coffee Horlicks Cake and Chocolate Cakes for the Christmas festivities. Ate tons of it and am now high high high on sugar haha. I have to start running again to loose it all man! (However, still not had my fill of cakes and I just baked another Fruit Cake this morning haha!!!)






My knees are much better now after a couple weeks' rest after the Singapore marathon on 5 Dec.

Did my first run yesterday with my Vibrams. It was truly different a different experience, running with it... flat-foot running. My calves were truly sore after the run man!!!Totally different set of muscles used and my legs are still sore after over 24 hrs haha. Will try it again.

With or without the Vibrams, have to seriously start training for the Tokyo Marathon on 27 Feb 2011. Have to also start planning for the trip... book flight and hotel!

Runs for 2011.... here I come :)

Race Done... now to rest!!

Completed the Standard Chartered Marathon yesterday.
OK, not the timing I wanted but still a satisfying run. Hot and crowded especially the last hour!!!
Fun run with the club-mates, quick soak in the cold pool to stop the lactic acid build up then had a good brunch after that at the club - Hyatt. Followed with another LOOOONG dip in the cold pool to reduce the cramps!!!
Had a good rub down this morning and another dip in the cold pool at the club.
Body getting back to shop haha.
No more runs for the rest of the year.... just REST (pun intended heheh)
