Decisions

The discovery of facebook lead to the absence of blogging for more than half a year.

Ran 3 races this year the Malakoff 12km, GE30k and Orange run. I was the 3rd last Veteran runner to finish 30kms clocking a time of 4:16. The Orange run route was increased to 11kms, finishing 72mins. These statistic show I have slowed down considerably by 10% over the last 2 years. I have to admit I lack discipline and perseverance in training prefering more to hike during weekends.

However, I still enjoy participating races as long as I do not risk injury, health complications or road dangers when the traffic control is withdrawn.

The SCKL Marathon is around the corner and the facts say I am ill prepared. I have never skipped or dnf a race. This could be my first.

The tiny waterfall was useful to wash up after the hike.

Reward for summiting.

Carboman ran the NYC marathon

Carboman aka Jamie Pang ran the New York City marathon on Nov 2.
This is the person who got me into running 5 years ago.

His discipline in training, passion for running and knowledge in this area is exceptional.

While I find running boring, Jamie can make it interesting and that is what keeps me going all these years.

Jamie finished a personal best in NYC.
Well Done Sifu !
