a place called here
finally devoted some time to finish reading this novel...loved the last chapter...especially this bit...
"We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond out control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself. Sometimes we see the way out but wander further and deeper despite ourselves; the fear, the anger or the sadness preventing us returning. Sometimes we prefer to be lost and wandering, sometimes it's easier. Sometimes we find our own way out. But regardless, always, we are found."

updates!
when i first started this blog back in Feb 2006, i never thought it would end up the way it is now...there were only 15 entries in 2010 and all except 4 were updates on my races...as compared to 149 entries in 2006.
yes, i've neglected this blog of mine...dwindling number of entries compounded with dwindling number of words per entry....
but i guess stuff like this happens when u prioritize...it's not a bad thing really... prioritizing...provided one does it correctly of course...
point is much has happened since my last attempt at a wordy blog entry (and i will tell you that entry was in Aug '09 titled "the art of getting rejected...")
- i've managed to find someone who adores me as much as i adore her
- i've cleared my msc course
- i've re-discovered my 4hr marathon form
- i've gotten more in touch with the Lord
end up squeezed out only 4 bullet points...ha....
and you might also wonder whatever happened to the "transformers-loving, gundam building adrian"? he is still around...no doubt more subdued and toned down...
and you might wonder whatever happened to the "i want to grow some muscles adrian"? he is still hanging around somewhere la...i hope he'll get more gym time in 2011...
with the msc course now out of the picture, there will be more time freed up for the many many other things waiting for me to do. the thought of having more time just excites me =)

standard chartered marathon 2009
initial plan was to maintain the 4.5hrs cus i kept thinking of my very memorable sundown 2009...4.5hrs with no major aches and pains...
but then i actually caught up with the 3hr45min pacer group and i thought...hmm...maybe i can actually do better this year...and i even fantasized about my sub4 dream timing...
well...the dream started fading when the distance between me and the pacers widened...and slowly the 4hr pacer group overtook...followed by the 4hr15min group...i was then resigned to my 4.5hr timing again...
as i got out of the dreaded ecp...the aches on my legs were getting unbearable...had to stop twice...once for each calve to stretch...my big toes were hurting (no idea why)...and the same thoughts which i get during every marathon started filling my head: why do i put myself thru this??? maybe i should hang up my marathon shoes??? maybe i should just take half marathon for sundown next year???-well the last thought only applies for this year
and for the very first time, i could not sprint at the last stretch along city hall leading up to the finishing line...my calves were threatening to cramp on me...and my right calve eventually did at the medal/finisher t collection point...i was like writhing in pain and almost wanted to just sit down and writhe all i could, but the ground was really muddy...so i writhed standing up...until the pain subsided...ha...
so...came back with 2 big toes with its nails all blue-ish....aching legs...and a timing of 4hr18min on my watch...have been bathing in deep heat ever since....ha
