Fat! Fat! Fat!

Have not been running before Sundown, and have not been running after Sundown.

I can feel my muscles disintegrating and the cholesterol clogging my blood vessels as I write.

I am just feeling FAT! FAT! FAT!


So, I decided to walk off some fats at East Coast Park this morning. At some stage, I tried to do a slow jog but my ankle hold me back. It still needs more time to heal.

Unfortunately, I ate 2 servings of breakfast at MacDonald's after the walk, so I am back to square one. Ha ha!

无题 （６月４日）

之一　Blog Hits
Remember that my targeted Blog Hits for the month of May?

I have exceeded by target by a big margin : ))

All thanks to loyal readers like you!

再接再厉！My target for June will be 400 counts.

之二　Army Half Marathon

Mr. 日本人已经决定参加AHM.

嘿！嘿！这次的race又有龙争虎斗了。

^..^

再见了！老婆！

终于决定报废我的爱车。下个星期五将是最后一天。
驾了它也快四年了，非常依依不舍。
但是利字当头，没办法要割爱。

男人都说车是他们的老婆！
再见了！老婆！

Adidas Sundown Marathon (Post D Day)- Part 3

1. My left ankle is still swollen. Am limping around in pain. The icing and compression didnt seem to help.

Notice my pig trotter on the left?

Went down to CGH's sports medicine for consultation.

He diagnosed that my swollen ankle is not a high-ankle sprain (phew!), but an inflammation of the tendon due to overuse. He suspected that I was running primarily on one leg (my left) to avoid aggravating the pulled calf on my right.

Anyway, his instruction was to ELEVATE, IMMOBILISE my foot and MONITOR whether the pain escalates. If the pain persists and escalates, then it may be a medical condition known as "Acute Compartment Syndrome" which will need an immediate surgery.
Hope that I wont have to come to that stage.

2. Some bloggers commented that there were many walkers (me?) in this Marathon and why the walkers (me??) couldnt make an effort to at least jog slowly.

Sigh! If I could, I would.

3. Also, read in the forum that many marathoners/ultra-marathoners drove themself home after the race. Some were trying to stay awake during the drive.

Although there is no written law stating "If you run, dont drive!", but I urge all runners to exercise caution since your body and mind are in the state of fatigue after the race.
Take a cab or ask someone else to drive you home.

4. Heartfelt appreciation goes out to Fu Ren, who stayed up with us the whole night even after her race, brought us drinks and food, and sent me words of encouragement along the way. You made the journey more bearable. Dear dear! You are the best!

5. Lastly, Congrats BFG! You have made it! So I will see you in SCSM :)

Adidas Sundown Marathon (Post D Day)- Part 2

Fu Ren and some friends ( + her uncle) formed a team to run in the team event.

I think they did very well for the team event (mixed), ranking 12th out of a total of ?? team : )
Team timing is 4hr6mins.
Concidentally, the team bib # is 1212 too....HUAT AH!

The formidable runners of team M.W.D.K



Fu Ren ran a very impressive 1hr9mins IMO.
Although her training timing was faster but taking into the consideration the congestion at the start line, 1hr9mins is very good by any standard.

Way to go Fu Ren! 希望虎妻无犬夫。 I am the disappointment this round.
