Xperia S – Sony eXperience?
It has been a while since I blog about gadgets. My current Galaxy S II is probably the first gadget for a long while where I have kept it for more than six months; 8 months to be exact. There is really no new smart phones around that would excite me to change. HTC seems [...]
Run for Food: Magic 8
I have not been blogging for a while. Surprisingly, in my third month of running, I am still keeping to the “run on alternate day” regime. There were a couple of instances where I only run after 2 days of rest, either to give my body a well deserved rest, or my body decided to [...]
Run for Food: 6KM milestone
Following my latest accomplishment on completing a 5km run, I start to alternate between interval training and endurance run (which is probably just a warm up run in the eyes of the fitter ones ) Despite a hectic week with all the night conference calls every day, I manage to find time to run before [...]
Run for Food: 5KM milestone
As it turns out, I am continuing my running regiment after my “touch down run” on Sunday, while I am still at Cupertino for my 4.5 days of meeting. Given that the dawn breaks around 7am and I need to leave for office by 8am, I decide to go for indoor treadmill running instead. The [...]
Run for Food: First oversea run
For the first time since my maiden run, I postpone one running session this week, as I only run 2 days after the previous run. I blame it on the intense meetings this week but I know it is a lame one. As I will be travelling for a business meeting next week, I tell myself [...]
Run for Food: 4KM Full Run milestone
Today (28th Jan), I feel it is time for me to do a full run instead of the usual interval training. I have been doing “5 min run, 1 min walk” training for the past 1 week, and think I should be ready for a full 30 minutes run. Obviously I need to adjust my [...]
Run for Food: 100km milestone
It has been slightly more than a month since I started my maiden run. Today (27th Jan), it’s a milestone as I complete another run. I have run 29 times, covering 100.64km. How many more 100km will I run again?
Run for Food: Magic 22
Ever since I started a formal running schedule, I am making a steadfast progress. I am also constantly running (with walking in regular intervals) more than 4km in each running session. It may be just a short run for many runners, but it is something I would never have imagined 6 weeks ago. At the [...]
Run for Food: Month One
After running “aimlessly” in the last 10 runs, I decide that I need to have a proper running schedule to be effective. After some (google) research, I adopt the schedule published by Runners’ World, an 8 weeks plan to complete a 5km race. I tweak the schedule further though. Since I have already had some [...]
Run for Food: Run #8
With all the running gears I could have possibly think of, I completed 7 runs within 12 days. A casual conversation with a friend over a hearty breakfast, prompted me to explore getting heart rate monitoring device. After researching on Garmin Forerunner series and Polar RS series, I decided to get Polar RS300X. While both [...]
