No that's not a picture of me shitting in my pants, but had abit of the runner's trot yesterday (therefore the article in my previous blog entry). Now I finally come to realize that my previous past sudden flatulence and diarrhea problems which strangely always comes and go occasionally or every 3 months or so, was due to the...
With alot more people being ore active these days and considering that most Asians, particularly Singaporeans have a high percentage of people with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), this bowel related problem might be of particular interest.
Ever went for a long run only to find lots of flatulence thereafter? Or worse, a strong urge to visit the toilet quite occasionally?...
It's raining cats and dogs here now in southern Singapore. Got about some coding for a portal together with finishing up some other miscellaneous flash presentation for another client, been busy even in the weekends. Tomorrow is Monday already, and week 7 (halfway mark) of our final project semester. Time do pass very fast!
The evening run today is very...
Got quite a few calls from few reputable banks over the last week asking to apply for their credit and platinum credit cards. Do not know where do they get my contacts from. But I always have the heck of getting such calls and most people would usually simply slam down on them.
For me, knowing that these poor...
The New Balance real run 2007 had just ended and this puts one more race this year being held in the East (and so to the dismay of my people living in the west but to the joy for those in the east). It's so given the usual centralised Realrun event venue (gateway carpark in Sentosa) being permanently closed...
With IVP over, it all looks straight for the New balance realrun tomorrow morning. There will be full road closure from Tanah Merah Coast Road to Airport Logistic Park from 7am - 10am. Despite it's remote location, at least the organizer offered paid bus services and free shuttle buses from Pasir-Ris for those not commuting by private transport. The...
Today is the IVP day 2 held at Gombak stadium, the highlight event today would have to be the 10,000m run. Darius and Alvin was in representing SP and Darius came in 4th overall and Alvin11th. I remembered my race in 2005 and it was not easy especially running in the overglare of the setting evening sun. Good thing...
First off, sorry for not updating for about a week. It had been a very very busy week with projects and doing 8-5 in the school project center. That took quite alot of time away from blogging, or just say I've not actually got into the regular habit or doing it with this new timetable, despite being in front...
Brought out my RS400sd for a calibration run last Wednesday and it came out rather interesting distances, infact rather different from the distances I measured from google earth. Before my footpod days, I used to use google earth and pacing to gauge distances. However the thing with satellite images is that they are all flattened images, so distance measurements...
Popped by Peninsula Plaza this evening to purchase my new Polar RS400sd, which I managed to get a "damned-good" lobang from a friend. Ahha! my first polar watch and a suitable successor to my Oakley O-matter sports watch. The functions and menus need some time to get accustomised to, but once using it for about 30mins, navigating the menus...
This year’s Track and Field IVP 2007/2008 will be held at the usual Gombak Stadium over a period of 3 days (20th, 24th & 27th of Oct 2007) within the timeframe spanning about 2 weeks. In the event of unfavorable weather conditions, the events will be held on the following Sunday. More details on the event fixtures at the...
I was down with a slight cough over late last week, a viral infection possibly caught from my mum who is ironically gotten less hindered by it now contrary to me, but I kept it at bay with lots of fluids and that not as much rest. Nevertheless caught up with the runs this week, with nice scenic runs...
Did another short 15km run yesterday evening with my old Asics DS trainers. This time it actually felt easier to run with the lighter shoes- the Mizuno is too packed with so much technology inside it simply just too heavy for running (>more than 300g). True the Mizuno have much better cushioning than my almost- disfunct DS trainers, but...
The holidays had been on for about 2 weeks already and come to think about it I had not blogged anything under the sun yada yada yada lately, so why not?
Health and Fitness
Noticeably, with the exception of the recent Sheares bridge run, you may know that I had not been running regularly these days. Not to mention not attending...
The Ulu Pandan/Sunset Lane Canal jogging route is part of the series I will be sharing as part of my favorite running route in the central and southern Singapore.
Ulu Pandan/Sunset Lane Canal
As ulu as the name may sound (no pun intended) this running route is part of the park connector line of tracks which are planned to be linked...
Alexandra/Tanglin Park Connector
One of my favorite central urban running routes to date, this route brings you through the breathtaking and calming estates of Alexandra and Prince Charles road alongside a canal in a straight forward closed (and no-brainer) route. The track was opened by Mr Lee Kuan Yew around 2006 and is often frequented by the residents around the...
Tiong Bahru Park Running Route
Tiong Bahru Park had been around for a long time even with it's previous face-lift and the introduction of Gan Eng Seng Secondary next door, taking a large chunk of it's old land area and introducing a dedicated soccer field. The place started off as left over land from a sewage plant only to converted...
Here in this series I will share my favorite running route in the Central and Southern Singapore. With these few more in the series:
Sunset Way
Alexandra Park Connector
Tiong Bahru Park
Mount Faber Hill
Macritchie Nature Reserve
Labrador Park
Situated in the confines and tucked behind hills and light industries, this running route brings you the sights and sounds of...
Hey Ladies, here are few of the female-only events lined up for the year. One of the largest women-only running events in Singapore, the Great Eastern Women 10k 2007 which will be held on the 21st October 2007 at Connaught Drive aims to promote health and well-being among ladies. This event has already attracted close to 7,000 female participants...
Done with the main report, here is the more personal report: Looking back on the half-marathon today my target timing was a sub 2hour which I barely hit which a gun time of about 2hours 8mins so the nett time will be below 1hour 55mins. The run felt strange today namely hitting a fatigue wall prematurely than what...
