Running
The weather finally getting a little chilly in the morning. The sun was shining today after a couple of rainy and gloomy days, I couldn’t resist to go out for a run. Ran about 6k, longest run since getting back to my regular running practice at the beginning of the month. Took the day off […]

Cycling
Asked my friend to tag me along to do some cycling with his friends, it’s something I haven’t done for ages! One of my purpose to join my friend’s cycling activity was to explore the possibility of organising a cycling outing in my fellowship. Now that I’ve done so, I think it will be really […]

First Run since May
Was notified last week that I got in to the city half-marathon race in coming February. Feeling the urgency to shape up, I forced myself to get up early today and did my first run since May! Slowly jogged about 2.3k and was still able to catch my breath afterwards. Not too bad I suppose? Guess […]

Movies and Dreams
After the exhausting craft fair on the Sept. 10th weekend, I thought about going on a short vacation to re-energize myself before getting busy again for the new Fall “co-op term”, but abandoned the idea as I don’t know how to justify the cost of going alone and without a purpose. Did a brief stay-cation […]

Fuzzy Head
Caught a minor cold/flu with a runny nose, clogged ear, and fuzzy head. Couldn’t quite put myself to work with this state of mind, took it easy today and watched some Olympics badminton and continued my reading of Jimmy SPA’s illustrative books. <<Beautiful Solitude>>, another imaginative book by Jimmy SPA. There were a few occasions in […]

Sick Day
Woke up with a minor sore throat and light fever, decided to take a day off and rest at home. I can’t remember the last time I spent the afternoon at home on a weekday. Managed to read the entire book of Ezra and prepare the ppt for tomorrow’s fellowship while taking a few naps […]

Running
Jogged for the first time this morning since completing the half-marathon back in January! Broke some sweat and injected my body with some much needed dopamine! Tiring, but felt good to be active again.

1st Half Marathon Completed!!
I’ve MADE IT!! I’ve completed my 1st half marathon!! Though slow (2h43min), I’m happy that I was able to complete the full 21K without stopping (I did stop briefly once to tie my shoelace). Although the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained throughout most of the run), it was a wonderful experience to run with so […]

Half Marathon Preparation
Last and shortest practice before the actual run on Sunday… Have been practicing on this same track since mid-Oct for 2-3 times a week, one of the nice thing about it is that I can see the Lion Rock towards the end of each lap! “我要向高山舉目，你的幫助從何而來?”

Half Marathon Preparation
Didn’t realize before how small HK is… A half-marathon (21K) already covers part of New Territories, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island! Feeling anxious about my run on Sunday… p.s. Still can’t get my head around the CE address yesterday… While silly Mr. 689 has his grand but awfully vague mainland-centric agenda, I have my own […]
