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)

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.

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...
