Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next two years I'd like to qualify
for the 'Boston Marathon'.

I have a crazy dream to qualify for
the olympic games... but understand it's
very hard to do... so am not sure
if it's attainable... or what it would
take... I know there are a lot of fast
runners out there:D

In the next 6 months I'd like to try and
beat my personal best of: 3:34:56 in the
marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Qualifying for the Olympic Games. Without a doubt would

be a lifetime achievement.

Personal:

I'm a 30yr old single Christian Kiwi (New Zealander).
I'm passionate about my country, running, and
my career as a 3D Animator.

Had a ride with Melvin Jr to Mac Ritchee this morning.  It took us only 16min to reach there!  We left at 6:08am and reached before 6:30am!  Beats public transport that take 1.5hrs!  Thanks Melvin!

32km easy km's in 3:03:53.  Ran with Jackie and Patrick.  Felt really good running today... It raining for the last half hr of the run... which was very cooling and actually helped me to run faster... Jackie felt the same.  I also, meet up with the runners from 'Team Fatbird'.

New personal record in training:  10km in 38:41!  The fastest recorded time at 'i-run' ever!!!

Shins are feeling a little sore for some reason... apart from that, I feel really good!

The usual 32km for Tuesday morning.  I was really tied, though and didn't feel like running, but ran anyway (started running from 4:44am exactly).  So my final time was:  3:10:19.  A good average time considering I ran my fastest 10km yesterday (running on weary legs)... also a slightly faster 32km this time compared to the same time last week. (By 1 minute:))

Ran an easy 10km under the hot sun, during lunch hr.  Ran in 49:25.

I was a little stiff at the beginning... but loosened up in the last half... I feel good now...

the endorphins are kicking in:)

Mac Ritchee run with Jackie this morning... Ran 22km in 2:39... I had a tire blow out in the dying stages of the hill run.  Jackie went on and out ran me.  I think I ran too hard that week... and just ran out of steam.  (I drank nothing for the first hr which probably didn't help).

I ran my 2nd fastest time today for the 10km i-run.  Ran it in 38:54!  I pushed it again... but this time I don't have the same soreness in my legs:)

I swam 80 lengths of Dynaforce gym in: 38:26... (spent the morning in town getting my Chinese Visa for the Beijing Marathon:)... so if you don't see much running recorded this week... that's part of the reason.

15.6km in 1:31:27 this morning before work... Very slow and easy... I feel a little weary from Monday's run... I'm holding back this week in preperation for Beijing on Sunday.

 I went to the gym during lunch hr... had a hard workout on my abbs.

 After work I went for a slow easy job... running my usual 10km... ran it in a slow 53:58.  I feel pretty good now after my run.

This was the big one!  I ran the 'Beijing International Marathon' and broke my pob!  My new pob is now:  3:11:11 (42.195km)!  (old pob was 3:34:56).  I finished with a placing of 340 overall (out of over 4000 participants).  

 So I was very happy with this result, if not a little suprised.  I think the running conditions were ideal for the run... not too hot... a little chilly... but perfect for running!  For once I didn't sweat profusely.  (not like Singapore:)

I ran 25km in the 'North Face 50km Duo' with my partner Jacky Ho today.  We missed out on a podium finish by only 30sec!  So we were 4th overall.  My time was 2:29.  My partners 2:19.  I'm partly to blame for the result as I got cramps near the end and had to walk some of the way... I've learned my lesson when running in hot Singapore!

I ran 10km in 45:10 as part of my recovery run:)  Okay, so I pushed it a little... Gotta be watchful I don't overdo it with the hard running, though.  A good run for the 'i'run' tonight... they even gave out a goodies bag for rewarding the regulars (I got a ground mat... not sure what I'll use it for, though).

No run today, but I managed to swim at the gym.  I swam 80 lengths in 40:01... my slowest time in over a month... I think the lack of running over the past few weeks is starting to show:(

I ran 10km very slowly from 7:20pm (ran it after work)... I'm getting over a left shin strain... so my time was only:  1:02:33.  I even walked some of the way... man I hate injuries!
