salomon xtrail run 2009

clocked 49.12 on my watch for this...2min slower than last year...but hey! i didnt do any running since last week and had flu this week...so...hehe...
highlight of the run---race officials telling runners to "please jump into the water!" at a turn where there was a small wooden bridge and a pool of muddy water beside it....

runnus '09

considering it was pieced together by students, you could say it wasn't the most professionally organized race...
but i heard it's an annual event...i'm wondering how the previous years fared...i'm pretty sure there'll be plenty of complaints for this year's...
i'm just glad i didnt get caught in the rain which started pouring after i came back...but then the rain stalled me at src for like 30min....afterwhich i had to wait 45min for the bus to arrive...which made me well-annoyed...
i understand it was raining...and maybe it was during off peak timing...but 45min?! wtf?!

encounters for the day...
the "training to be soldiers" song that was aired before flag off brought back memories...
an uncle and a young man who were running barefoot, overtook me...
2 groups of marshallers bothered to cheer "go guardsman go!"...

the art of getting rejected...
getting rejected by girls isnt something guys like to experience..i'm sure girls won't like it either if it happened to them also...
to date...my "kenna rejected" counter has gotten 8hits...out of which only 1 was as close as i ever got to a "relationship"...
and it's that 1 hit from which i learnt a painful lesson of what happens when you give up too early...looking back, i would say she was the only one out of the 8 who looked past the quiet adrian...the only one who didnt mind spending quiet moments together...
the rest of the 7hits couldnt look past the quiet and boring adrian...we can't blame them really...after all they were looking for chatty and interesting partners who could entertain them...to them adrian had none of the qualities they were looking for i guess...ha
most of these 7hits were actually hit and run cases...a few adopted the "straight-forward you're not my type" rejection approach...a few adopted the "it's not you it's me" rejection approach...a few adopted the "i'm not free...maybe another time" approach...1 adopted the "take the spare tire for a ride followed by a i don't think i'm suitable for you" approach...
some pple reading this entry might think sad ol' adrian is just complaining because he's clueless on how to get a partner...yes...i do have alot of crap to get off my chest...and to be honest...i'd really wish i wasn't such a loser when it comes to girls...
dun care le...wait for someone who can accept me for what i am...wait until cow come home, go out and come home again also liddat...it's time to change to suit the surroundings

HELL YEAH!!!

as much as i dread the persistent "almost want to puke feeling" during the 2.4 sprint...it felt darn good when the pti handed me the printed result and said, "well done".

mizuno mount faber run 2009

clocked 49.55 on my watch...
the slopes are still as torturous as ever...good thing is they took out 2 portions of the 2007 route and according to Weiliang's garmin, the 2009 route is just slightly above 10km...so...hmmm....

adidas sundown marathon 2009

clocked 4hr32min on my watch for this one...even though there was no improvement timing wise, it was my best marathon outing, pain-wise, since my first marathon back in scm 2006.
early on in the run i tried to maintain within 6min per km and hydrated myself whenever i could...i even power-gelled at 10+km...
as compared to previous marathons where i started hydrating only after 10km and power-gelled much much later...
result was there was no recurrence of those immense pain in the legs which had to force me to completely stop running! i've never ran non-stop for so long in a marathon! walking was kept at a minimal and i grabbed for deep heat only once!
considering i didnt clock any mileage prior to this marathon, i'd say i'm mightily pleased with the result...

relationship
came across this article written by some gal named Keidi on facebook on the topic of "relationship".
it talked about how ALL relationships have a cycle and how love is NOT a mystery and how we can ALL make it work by applying the right formula...
i quote: "Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger.
It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make' love."
the article also had a (listen carefully to this) note so listen carefully "THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND."
wow...such a revelation...it's all so CLEAR to me now...i can finally see THE light...and its hurting my eyes!!! wtf!!!
oh..and the article ended off by telling us to remember this always, so remember it well, "God determines who walks into your life.It is up to you to decide who you let to walk away,who you let to stay, and who you refuse to let go."
