China Coast Half Marathon

Having completed the captioned race in 2 hrs 3 mins. The time is quite slow even to me.
I felt my feet pretty heavy today, and could not speed up my paces especially during running (nearly walking) uphill.

However, the moisture weather making the race quite special - running in the mist.

I enjoy running the race, and appreciated the nice arrangement and quick releasing of the result (on the same evening) too.

Mizuno Half Marathon

I've joined the captioned race today, and completed the race in 1 hr 56 mins (6 mins slower than my 1st HM)

Wearing too much clothes (1 T + 1 long sleeves running T)making me nearly overheated, especially at the last 2 Km on the dam of Plover Cove Reservoir

Anyway, I enjoyed the race, and wish to have improvement in China Coast HM next Sunday

Running exercise

I went running at the Sir Cecil's Ride in the afternoon today. The sky is cloudy and the temperature is around 18 C (perfect for running)
However the air pollution (in HK) is worse today.
I wear my brand new long sleeves T to run which making me quite hot inside (cool at the surface)
I came across a strong built runner in the course who ran topless. Luckily I have my long sleeves to cover my "thin" body

Reservoir Cup Race 2 - Ho Pui

I completed the captioned race in 1 hr 13 mins yesterday.
The temperature was a little bit cold, but became much warmer after having warmed up and the adequate sunlight.
The race was well organized, and the result was released in the same evening.
However, the event was spoiled by some greedy runners, who had taken 3 to 6 bananas home for comsumption. I guess there will be some slow runners having no banana to eat after the race.

Shek Kong 10 Km Run

I joined the Shek Kong 10 Km Run on 2/1/2005.
The weather is rather cool, but I feel quite warm after having warmed up.
I completed the race in 52 mins, and feel my condition much better then the Reebok 15 Km in Dec 2004.
Hoping to join the 30 Km Run of the same race next year (2006)

2nd Mount Bulter Training Run

I joined the 2nd Mount Bulter Training Run in Happy Valley Sports Ground in the evening yesterday.
Surprisingly, only two runners (including me) joined the training.
Follwing the trainer in running 5 rounds was a nice experience in speeding up.
By the way the temperature was suitable for running too, although a little bit cool in the beginning.

Mount Bulter Training Race

I joined the captioned training course at Sir Cecil's Ride yesterday

I did not find much to learn in the course indeed. Just having a run with 8 other runners for 10 Km only.

However, a veteran Japanese runner (age : 72) did make me surpise. Especially when he mentioned he had a 15 km run in the morning already. I rather go to sleep in the afternoon if I had run for 15 km in the morning.

In the morning on the same day, I read the interview with Mark Williams in SCMP. I also surprised me to learn that Mark usually run two sessions (12 @ session) a day (6 days a week). This add up to 144 km per week. Quite amazing milages
