I am an odd ball, that’s for sure… Just came back from a 1 hr 51 min run. Feels good to just go long. The weather is humid and hot. Great…time to get the body to acclimatize. Lord, turn up the heat please so I can get ready for Ironman! My family are very supportive. I was telling sis on Sunday how I might end up doing a 15 hr race. Mom and I have been talking about my nutrition...

All in a weekend. I have gone through a whole range of emotions this weekend. Sat got up at 4:30 am to bike (ride an hour on the trainer and the rest outside). I woke up that early b/c I had to help a friend to move. Her mom passed away a week ago from terminal cancer. As a brother in Christ and a cancer survivor, I did what I have to do. I didn’t thought too much about it. She was moving...
Passion…. While I was riding with my friend, Len, last Monday, we discussed about passion. The conversation dwindled down to him asking me, ‘how do we foster passion within our kids?’ Unlike most asian parents who pushed their kids to piano or math lessons, my parents let me be who I am. I spent a lot of time playing video games and riding my bike. Maybe that’s how they...

Thinking..long weekend. Hey all, Just want to give a quick shoutout before I head to work. Up here in Canada, we had a long weekend (Victoria Day). All in all, I had a good weekend. Yesterday was out on a trail with my friends for 3 hours. Nothing like riding with some company. I will post last week numbers later today or tomorrow. Here is what I had been thinking/doing: i) Been reading...
First Day. Just give a brief update. Today first day at work. Just a lot of learning. Coworkers are friendly and energetic. Today I took a second rest day. I had to lead a Bible study and decided there won’t be time to test my running latec threshold. Going to do that first thing in the morning.. Something quite funny I saw on my friend’s blog… There is an article discussing...
Ego drive vs Passion driven ‘The only way to pull out of the negative influneces of the rat race is to make a devoted commitment to a completely pure apporach to your athletics….when you notice impure influences float into your airspace, stop yourself and make a conscious effort to stay on the pure path.” – Brad Kearns (Breakthrough Triathlon Training, pg. 65) When I...
Boom-Shakalaka Originally the sound of a slam-dunk in basketball — the “boom” being the dunk, and the “shakalaka” being the rattling of the backboard. Pippen over to Grant … he shakes and bakes … to the basket … BOOMSHAKALAKA! (NBA Jam announcer) That’s a phrase I repeated myself over the past few days…Why? *drum roll*..let’s start...
