No trip in Iceland will be complete without experiencing the countryside riding on a traditional Icelandic horse, just as how the Vikings did it in the last millennium. Icelandic horses are rather small horses and are just slightly larger than a pony when fully grown. They were chosen by the immigrant Vikings during 800-1000 AD on the dawn of...
Iceland is home to a larger number of natural glaciers and an ideal location if you wish to experience the vertical limit for the day. Many of the glaciers here on the island date back since the last ice age, particularly those located up on the Highland Mountains where the water is pristine and locked in under permafrost aged...
Whee, I did 5km on the treadmill today. Had been sometime since I've ran. It's good to see me back to incorporating runs in my schedule since my injury last year. But I've been maintaining my fitness over the last months since I am in UK- With lots of inevitable daily cycling as well as weekly swims at the...

For more comprehensive details such as venues, organizers and external links, check out the listing on my main page under "Events". You will be able to get a bird-eye's view of the lineup to date.
Hope this list will...
With 2009 drawing to a near, one cannot help but reflect on the year's achievements and set targets on for the next. There is no surprise too that "keeping fit" or "losing weight" are one of the top 3 resolutions anyone can make, with almost everybody looking for a fitter and leaner lifestyle for the coming year. The bad...
Its time of the year again and Christmas is around the corner. Thank god I've managed to get all those gifts, chocolate and greeting cards sent already, so I can very much relax for the week towards Christmas and manage a blog entry here as well, man it had been ages!
Some of my little indulges I made before Christmas...
It's time of the year again- running season with the Singapore Marathon this coming Sunday. I won't be running this year's race, so I won't be able to do much of a pep and review of the race. Nevertheless, here are some notables for this year's race as well as some tips I have in pacing.
Looks like this...
After more runs with my "marathon capable" Nike Lunar racer, here is the 2nd installment to my review of this fantastic pair of running shoes. I can't deny that my following runs after my first with this pair were quite abrasively painful, particularly given my gait change to this new shoe, so I needed a longer resting time...
I’ve got a new pair of Nike Lunar racers and promised to write a review of it. So here goes, the first part with my first impressions.
The first thing you can do is to pick up this pair of shoes and wonder what the? It weighs too light to feel real, it feels even lighter when worn. Just like...
As the hot scorching sun dawns upon all runners in the early morning of Sunday, it simply just paints deja-vu of the race last year at the Changi Exhibition center. Was that a Mirage? I can say that is is almost like an exact duplicate of last year's race, which I gave a rating of 8.5/10 for a highly...

The Nike Human Race was on yesterday, overall I can say it's a rather pleasant race with a few exceptional quirks here and there. The Nike Human Race is one of Nike's comeback races in Singapore after the long discontinued Nike Realrun previously, which was subsequently...
The Singapore Sheares bridge/Singapore bay run/Army half marathon was on this morning. The promise of the new route across the Marina Barrage is well, promising as it sounds and I believe the key selling point of this year's race. I believe with so many new developments sprouting up around the Marina bay area, it's just pleasing to know that...
Sorry for my dated entry. Been rather caught up with work back to back projects. Nevertheless found time to update this very much dated entry which I should last week.
The Poly 50 was on, well last week, the 6th August 2008. This year's race was my third one in the running in SP and it was infact the only...
Met up with my coach today while training for the Poly 50 today, he invited me to join him and a friend to witness the Olympics this year. But sadly, I was not able to make it due to the short notice given work and study commitments on my side, nevertheless he did have quite a few pairs of...
THE NORTH FACE 100® REGIONAL SERIES MAKES ITS WAY TO SINGAPORE! - CAN YOU ENDURE?
This event is not like your average typical marathon along red-carpet tarmac or pavements, but for those who desire the thrill or trail and off-road running. Being a cross country runner myself before hoping on as a road runner, I cannot deny that this run...
And just as I thought last year's was the last year Standard Chartered will be organising and title sponsor for the Singapore Marathon, being rumored to be their last, well, last year. Apparently, not so for time to come as well. This year will be a big bump in budget for the professional breaking annual event- up by almost...
Well with some time aside, I will talk about running and running related events as of again.
Currently I have no planned races for July, just mostly preparations for university admissions as well as doing up interviews for my NYAA gold. I will be participating in 3 races coming Auguest though, namely the Nike+ run which I will be running...
