Aw… doesn’t he just tug at your heartstrings?! Too bad I can’t get a dog right now… But if I could, I would totally adopt him (even if he ends up being a lazy bum!) Click on the image or here to see his rescue page.

Kudos to Sheryl for showing me that PetFinder.com website! I’m going to waste hours during the day just staring at the cute rescue dogs! LOL. ;)

New journal application.

Tuesday, 31 March 2009 | 11:40 am

Finally made the switch to WordPress from LifeType. It took me a while to finally transfer over my links (posts went over ok; well, some of them got cut cos of the XML but whatever).

I can’t believe I’ve been writing on an online journal since like, Sept 2002… They’re all brain farts, though but there’s some meat in the Running Records :)

Thanks for sticking with me through the years and here’s to another few years of blogging. ^_^

p.s.,

There are still some bugs here and there (especially with my template) so if you see something off, please email me a browser screenshot and I’ll try to fix it! DANKE!

Long Run Training (19 miles)

Sunday, 29 March 2009 | 04:58 pm

Notes:
Ok, whatever momentum I had last week carried over the first 12 to 13 miles of my long run training and then diminished soon after! I seriously struggled the last 6 miles of this training run and opted to walk/shuffle through the end. It was a rather pathetic effort one which did not warrant the delicious bratwurst I had after the run! LMFAO.

My mind (and jiggly tummy lol) gave up, despite my legs and arms still feeling strong. Since I walked at the end, I once again got these blisters — not “Run Fat Boy Run” sized but they were painful enough and caused me to limp. :( I definitely have to do better next week — the 20-miler! >_<

Training Run (3 miles)

Thursday, 26 March 2009 | 11:52 pm

Notes:
I was supposed to do my 5-miler but ended up only going for 3 miles due to time constraints! LOL. It was a great run, too — I didn’t feel like stopping but I could not resist not going to my favourite restaurant (and my sis was paying… lol!)

Training Run (3 miles)

Tuesday, 24 March 2009 | 04:45 pm

Notes:
I went to get my gait analysed at the Nike Mobile Unit; they set themselves up at the usual Sangria on Pier Avenue (Hermosa Beach) and after that, went for a brisk 3 miler. LOL. The run itself was great (albeit my breathing was a bit labourious at times) but ended up having a Coldstone Creamery cupcake! LOL

Training Run (3 miles)

Saturday, 21 March 2009 | 04:40 pm

Notes:
This was my first run after straining my left calf. I walked the first mile (or sped walked it) and ran the remaining 2 miles. It’s actually neat that my calf held up ok and I was fine the entire 2 miles running (without stopping).

Training Run (3 miles)

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 | 05:48 pm

Notes:
This wasn’t a good training run; for one thing, it’s supposed to be a 5-miler but I was breaking in new insoles and my left calf-seized up. It’s still cramping if I stand up a particular way and I’ve yet to roll The Stick on it. Sucks too cos I wanted to burn all the bad food I ate this weekend! LOL.

Nike+ was working but upon syncing, somehow deleted all my recent run data. Thank goodness for Garmin as a backup (and it actually didn’t die this time). Too bad I won’t get this mileage credited off Nike+’s site though. Eep!

Garmin connect

p.s., I burned a measly 251 calories! LOL. That was barely a bite off some chocolate cake or delicious grilled Toro Kalbe. >_<
