Running exercise
Having a 52 mins running exercise (about 10.5 Km) at Sir Cecil's Ride
The cooler temperature making the run more comfortable
A wild cat ran in front of me when I was running at the trail.
The birds made a loud noise after the cat jumped into the bush
There are two expatriate female runners running at the opposite direction when I ran for 40 mins
Enjoy the running today very much

Fila Half Marathon 2005
Just having returned home after having completed the Fila Half Marathon in 2 hrs 4 mins
It was a slow time indeed bause of lack of running practice and the hot weather
I have not enough running practice for almost a month, and making my running extremely difficult today
I guess I might have suffered mild heat stroke in the final 2 Km. I felt cold from head to toe while running in the "wild" sun light
However, I felt satisfied and happy when crossing the finish line finally

Race cancelled again today
Unfortunately the Watson's Cross Country Run was cancelled again in the morning today
I phoned the HKAAA's hotline after having at the Tin Hau MTR Station, and was told the race being cancelled due to poor weather
This is the 2nd races being cancelled within 2 weeks, and I was so disappointed
Having learnt there is a nice web site promoting the wind energy

Death will tear us apart
Four runners died during the running at The Great North Run at England yesterday. This reminded me the uncertainty of life and you never know the date and place you die.
Similar to the song of Joy Division "Love will tear us apart" that "Death will tear us apart" too.
To me the god of death had passed me shoulder by shoulder for several times already including serious sickness in childhood, nearly falling from cliff at Mount Kinabaru................
Death is always closed to you which is out of your imagination and planning.
If I could choose the time & place to die, I might probably choose to die during an international marathon (at 50 yrs old) than to dying on a bed in hospital.
However, we don't have any choice. Don't we?

Race cancelled
When I took a bus from Wan Chai to the starting point of AVOHK 5 Km Run 2005 yesterday, the rain was really heavy.
After 15 minutes waiting at the Wan Chai Gap park, the organizer decided the race to be cancelled due to the storm warning signal
Honestly I was quite disappointed to miss a chance of racing in the rain
I then decide to take a short walk to leave the starting point
Having a 1.5 hrs hiking I finally reached Aberdeen (originally I wished to go to Wanchai instead0
The rain was quite heavy on my way to Aberdeen and some workers were still trying to clear some landslide along the way
Hiking solo in such poor weather is a little bit dangerous indeed

A happy day of my life
I enjoy today very much
Firstly I had a nice run at Sir Cecil's Ride despite the hot and humid weather
Secondly I attended a nice mini concert performed by Mara Carlyle at RTHK in the evening tonight
Moreover, there is a reception before the concert including tasteful England snacks with different kinds of drinks (Red and white rine, soda water, Coke and organge juice) I had them all and was very satisfied.
The performance by Mara was extremely well. She could even play with a saw and the guitarist Chris played very well too
Unfortunately my attention was sometimes taken away by the low cut dress Mara wore tonight
Finally a violin duo "Duo" played very nice fusion/classic music by Saint Jean and Brahms to end this wonderful mini concert
Honestly I could not ask more for this free concert

Running Exercise
Having a running exercise at Sir Cecil's Ride in the afternoon today
Although it's cloudy, the temperature was still very hot. Luckily there was breeze from time to time cooling me down.
Having met two runners on the trail and both of them were in quick paces
When walking down the mountain, I come across a pair of hikers. The guy tried to overtake me, and I sped up my paces. However without wearing my glasses I barely could see the step, and had to run down step by step. Luckily the phone of the guy rang and I could expand the distance.
That's me who reached the main road first and had the final say, "To run with me, U're not even qualified"
Enjoyed the run very much today

Thaiquain High Island 10 Km Run 2005
Having completed the captioned race within 54 mins on 4/9/2005 (Sunday)
The rain was quite heavy before 0900 hrs, and really worried the race would be cancelled. Luckily the rain stopped at 0900 hrs and there was no rain during the race.
I later learnt that the hudmidity on that day was over 90 which explained why my cotton running vest (Fila Mount Butler 2005) was just as wet as having been washed
I was lack of condition this time but still enjoyed the race

Just returned home after having completed the 10 Km race at about 51 mins at 0815 hrs at Shing Mun Reservoir

However, the humidity and temperature was still very high which making the run so difficult for me
Anyway I enjoyed the run despite the jamming at the 1st 2 Km making me almost mad

Absent from running for 2 weeks+
Having absented from running for more than 2 weeks due to poor weather, laziness and over sleep.
I ran under the extreme hot sun at 1130 hrs at Sir Cecil's Ride for 35 mins which already boiled me up.
I have not seen any runners today, only two mountain bikers passed me on the trails.
Despite the heat and absent of breeze, I still enjoy the run very much today

Running Exercise
There was a little sun light in the afternoon at Quarry Bay today.
Having run for about 36 mins at Sir Cecil's Ride already making me boiled up.
Luckily there was some breeze which cooling me down from time to time.
There were two expatriate male runners running towards me in the opposite directions. Both of them run in a faster paces than me.
I did enjoy the running practice in the wild, because there were so many butterflies, birds, trees arounds.
Life will be much boring without running!
