Training had been pretty tough lately, it’s been almost 5 years since the last time I trained for any long distance running event. My aged and heavy body is taking its sweet ass time to accustom to all that running.

Training outdoor in the middle of winter is indeed tough, but I am very thankful to have a group of awesome running buddies to keep me company every saturday morning.

Thank you Team In Training for everything.

Since I cannot go fast, I will try to go long. I signed up for a 50 mile ultra-marathon this coming fall. I am super excited to see how far I can push my body. It is hard to believe that I will be running a marathon in May as a warm up for my 2012 season!!

看你正面 兩手失控再顫
看你笑面 我開心數夜數天

與你說話 我啞口會無言
與你碰面 我體溫會亂變
與你貼面 一世的經典

若你肯再擁抱緊一點
我願意用我十年
去換我共你十天

要講你知你的意義
每當我的心肝跳一次
沒法知 難制止
你是血液深於我每一處
要講你知我的故事
這一秒即使心再不跳
在記憶 潛意識
愛是已在心中永世不變

與你說話 我啞口會無言
與你碰面 我體溫會亂變
與你貼面 一世的經典

若你肯再擁抱緊一點
我願意用我十年
去換我共你十天

要講你知你的意義
每當我的心肝跳一次
沒法知 難制止
你是血液深於我每一處
要講你知我的故事
這一秒即使心再不跳
在記憶 潛意識
愛是已在心中永世不變

光陰可以瞬間轉數十年
生死起跌也知不會幸免
當中隻有愛的感覺未曾變

Your presence is a present, so live for today, and appreciate everyone and everything you have. Stop thinking about what you dont have, what you wish you had, who walked out of your life, and whatever else that falls in that category. Think about what you have, who you have in your life, and how fortunate you are”

What was once I thought were issues now feels very insignificant, I am not sure what I am feeling now is real, I guess only time can tell.

Lesson learned this week, always be open and learn how to share with people you are closest to. Life is too short to lose a best friend.

Work had been very busy, and dad is in the hospital for another bypass surgery.

The weekend just cannot come fast enough, all I want to do is to put on my running shoes, and lay down some miles in my favorite training ground Mendon Pond Park.

I signed up for the Pittsburgh Marathon yesterday, training the next 20 weeks in the Rochester winter weather will be rough, but I am looking forward to get back into a more structure life style.

A lot of it is still working in progress, so please be patient with me as I tweak the design and UI over the next couple months.

Enjoy!!
