Earth Hour 2010!

Wednesday, 03 March 2010 | 09:04 pm

Last year, I participated in my very first “Earth Hour“. Basically, on a particular day in March (this year, it’s on the 27th), on a particular hour (starts at 8:30PM your time), you switch off ALL the lights in your home (or business)… for an hour. Simple enough, yeah?

I wasn’t in complete darkness last year, though. I was surfing the web on my mobile >_< LOL. I did turn off my computer and unplugged my laptops and of course, the lights were turned off. But yeah, for an hour in the dark, it was kinda weird… No telly, no computer, and no FaceBook for an hour — I remember it felt like I was in the Dark Ages. I even switched off the lights in my fish tank. I don’t think my fishies appreciated that, though.  ;)

Anyway, message me if you’re going to do Earth Hour this year!

If you haven’t guessed, Earth Hour is a movement that began 3 years ago to raise environmental awareness and on climate change. ^_^

Lap Swim: 550 m

Wednesday, 03 March 2010 | 11:54 am

My training for the LA Marathon continues and although I have not run for 2 weeks (rehabilitating my left knee), I have been keeping up my cardio with some lap swimming. So yesterday, I finally completed 2 out of 3 drills — 1 more drill than I am able to complete for the past 2 weeks LOL. This essentially means that I’m getting stronger and (I think) am getting back to the same level of fitness I was in prior to my Camp Pendleton Hard Corps marathon last year.

Thumb-to-Thigh: 10×25 with 15 seconds recovery in-between
Touch-and-Go: 10×25 / 15

This afternoon, I’m hoping to do all 3 drills and then later tonight run at least 3 miles in preparation for my 20 mile run this weekend. Eeek.
