Pre-Season: Chelsea 0 – MLS All-Stars 1

Saturday, 05 August 2006 | 02:25 pm

As much as I wanted so bad to see this match at the stadium in Chicago to see my Blues play “in-person”, I somewhat got that wish already when I saw them during their training @ UCLA earlier last week.

There are a number of things I'd like to point out, though:
1. To watch a number of newly signed footballers on the pitch needs some getting used to…
2. It was interesting to see what Mourinho did with the formation, given his player selections
3. …and it was cool to watch the boys again. ^_^

The end result of the friendly was not positive however, as the “MLS All-Stars” beat Chelsea in a convincing fashion. I don't put too much weight on it, though — as it's a friendly, but got worried when I saw Coley go down and writhe in pain. Just wondering again what's going on in Mr. Mourinho's mind as he evaluates the Blues…

Good game, MLS All-Stars. I can't wait for the friendly to be played here in Los Angeles next year. For now, more pre-season matches and then the Charity Shield! ^_^

Running running!

Sheryl — I use the Garmin ForeRunner 201. They have a new version now and I think it's similiar if not better. The ForeRunner uses GPS technology to track your distance and speed. Obviously, if you run in an area that has lots of tree coverage or any sort of man-made objects blocking out a chunk of the sky, the thing's not going to work — it needs a 'clear view' of the sky in order for the tracking to do it's thang! Anyway, there are alternatives to this watch (Nike+iPod system, etc.) and of course, there's the old skool way: counting yer steps or timing yourself around a track, but I think the watch route is easier ^_^

OJ — put on a pair of shoes and run. That's how you get started. LOL! But seriously, I sent you a pretty long reply. Just email or summat if you have additional questions.

Rest of the world — get into running, STAT! Look at my two friends getting into running. Hehehe… Here's a fun race that one can begin training for… and it's only 5 miles!

Hardly Working.

Finished one client meeting but hardly started with my other work. Crap. I know I'll get it done today, though but just been preoccupato with other things. I also seem to be posting more photos than words. Anyway, who cares. Here are my new (work) shoes for the “Nike Run Hit Remix”:

Max Air 180

It's… green! Now, I need to get an iPod Nano and the chip thingy so that I can use it to keep track of my distance/time/workout… ^_^
