Annual Road Race 2008 - 08/2/23


Just having completed the 3.62 Km race at The Peak in 16 mins 45 secs. Despite the completion time was almost 70 secs slower than my time last year. It's already my fastest run since I hurted my back two weeks ago.

The weather today was perfect for running, and I enjoyed the run very much. I guess I ran too slow at the beginning, and could not make a faster time in the end of the race. Another nice run in 2008.

Ma On Shan 8 Km Race 2008 - 08/2/10


Having completed the Ma On Shan 8 Km Race ( 馬鞍山盃8K長跑賽 ) in the warmer weather in the morning in 40 mins on 2008/2/10.

Wearing my hiking gloves making me so warm. However the gloves were so heavy that I found difficult in even swinging my arms.

The race course was flat but there were so many obstacles on the race course.
The worst thing is my back pain re-occured after returning home. Wishing the pain will not affect my performance in SCM next week.


Nice race again.

Mizuno Fat Choy Run 2008 - 08/2/9


Having completed the 8 Km Mizuno Fat Choy Run 2008 ( 發財跑 ) in the chilly cold weather in the early morning on 2008/2/9.

I found myself frozen while waiting for start at the starting point.I needed to warm up after almost 5 mins run.However I managed to complete the race in 37 mins which was almost my PB in this race.

The last upward run to the finishing point still tortured me so much, despite I overtook some walking runners.Another nice run held by HKLRRC.

Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2008 - 08/2/17


Just completed my 4th SCM half marathon ( 2008 渣打馬拉松 ) in a slow time of 1 hr 57 mins+.

However since this was my first run after I suffered from my back pain on last Sunday (after MOS 8 Km race, and I still had my Salonpas stick on my back. I still felt happy with the completion time.

The arangement was OK this year, and I had not to wait long to reclaim my luggage. The traffic jam at the 1st Km was still worst which consumed me almost 8 mins. Another nice race held by HKAAA anyway.

Running with running nose

Having my 33 mins recovery lite run (about 6.5 Km) at Sir Cecil's Ride in the sightly warm afternoon earlier.

Saw many runners practising their running at the trails today. Some of them even ran with backpacks (SSHH runnrs?).

Unfortunately I began to have my running nose after running for about 15 mins, and I had to cut short the run due to the uncomfortable caused.

Really enjoyed running on the sightly wet soil today.

Nice run anyway.
