Run For Hope 2007

Run for Hope 2007 is inspired by the courageous story of Terry Fox, a Canadian teenager, who despite an amputated leg due to bone cancer, ran a 'marathon of hope' across Canada to raise funds for cancer research, so that one day a cure could be found. Terry ran an equivalent of one entire marathon a day (42 km)...

Problems with new Coach

With a little time I have here after dinner and back from a Statistics Module test a moment ago, let me just share about the buzz going up with our new coach Coach S Pandian.

Post Mizuno Wave Run 2007 (Mizuno mud walk)

Hey I am back from the mud walk ummmm 2007 Mizuno wave run. If you've ran the event this year, I believe you will have quite a little too many comments on the organisation of the event. The morning started with a heavy downpour in the morning, which slowed gradually over time and eventually turned into a light drizzle...

1st Run with Mizuno Wave Creation 8, inital review & impressions

I had not ran in more than 2 weeks, a relatively long "cooldown" period after recovery from my fever 2 weeks ago. Especially with many cases of runners suddenly collapsing when running under the influence of a flu, cough or even the lack of sleep, who knows what will happen. Take no chances and be a responsible runner to...

Overhead burning sun ahoy, run and swim.

Actually woke up early in a different tide today, about 8.30am to be exalt. Awoken mainly by my parents who were all over the house before leaving for work in the morning and partly because they turned off the central air-conditioning which makes falling back to sleep a rather miserable sweaty feat. Usually I will wake up about 12noon...

Kicked out of Poly 50 Team 2, now I am in Team 3

Well despite looking forward into running for Track and Field team 2 this year to prove to the sports club that Team 2 is a force to recon with, not to mention break the disqualification curse (which seems to run almost every year 2 years ago). Things got a blow which I removed from Team 2 today, why? Things started...

The Teen Games adventure race was today and man it was definitely much longer than that of last year, with 12 checkpoints in total with about 22km+ covered on bike but mostly on foot. The good thing was the increased flexibility when getting to checkpoints- being open ended and not having to go through pre-defined routes. We were there...

Teengames adventure race 2007 mess ups

My Teengames Adventure Race this Saturday will be unlike last year with a stayover and early morning flag off - Besides having to put off with the inconvenience of transporting our own bikes there (no bike rentals this year) and bringing most of our own standard equipment, we also can't stay over at the event venue (Salvation Army building)...

The Brooks life run and NUS Legs and Paddles was on today, didn't go for it as firstly, I didn't register for it, secondly am not quite the best of condition now (school school school) and lastly I already ran a race yesterday. It's quite packed during the week in terms of tutorials, but notably and commendably is the...

Post 2007 Moulmein Intra-Con Run, Farewell Coach Robin

Moulmein Intra-Con Road Run was on at MacRitchie Park today, reached the venue only to be greeted by overcast skies and a runny nose (which came with me from home). It rained during the race and interestingly, sinuses always clears when you run, just like how my smoker friends always exclaim at how puffing will cure their flus as...
