我在沙漠賭城跑步的日子

lvrunner

Due to my foot injury (plantar fasciitis ~足底肌膜炎), I am still not in full training mode.  I don't have to work this weekend.  The weather was pretty nice when I woke up this morning (sunny and 9C) so I decided to go outside for a short run.  No pain or discomfort but still tried to take it easy.  I ended up doing a 10K around my neighbourhood in 55 minutes.  It will be hot next week (30Cs).  And it won't be long before the temperature goes up to the 40Cs.  We only have two seasons here Summer ->Winter->Summer!!

I don't have anything line up until the end of August ~ 3rd Annual Disneyland 1/2 Marathon (nicknamed The Happiest Race on Earth).  I hope I have enough time to heal up for this fun race.

將會係玩兩日兩全馬,勁! 果然係Marathon Manic!

Just dreaming!  My wife would have me killed!!  My friend just did a marathon on New Year day in Texas and now he is flying to Mississippi to do another one on Sunday.  He is more crazier than me ~ 2 marathons in 4 days!!!

嘩! 個幾月冇update過post了.  今日適逢元旦大日子, 就拿枝筆出黎慢慢"dook"中文字吧!

小弟經過7日兩全馬一役後, 元氣盡傷, 在檀香山休息過多禮拜後, 現已開始回復體力了.  小弟亦順利加入了聞名馬拉松跑檀嘅Marathon Maniacs Club (馬拉松跑癡會),  做了一粒星Bronze會員, 編號1265. 下次再嚟過, 將會係玩兩日兩全馬(星期六, 日).

本來今年打算玩一月一全馬, 但因工作關係和要遠征東瀛國, 計劃要改期了.  亦經家中大人同意, 今年的參賽時間表已安排好了.

加州Surf City USA全馬 (1/2/2009)
洛杉機華埠10K 炮竹賽 (08/02/2009)
日本東京全馬 (22/03/2009)
洛杉機全馬 (25/05/2009)

現post住幾將相片先, 遲些有空會放入album內.

小弟在此祝各位新年快樂, 長跑長友!

Two marathons in 7 days!!  unbelievable!

God, to call you a marathon-maniac is an under-statment, definitely.

Humidity: 26% .....
hard to imagine ..

It has been quite awhile since I posted here.  That doesn't mean I didn't run.  Here is a little update ~

Date:  Nov. 23rd
Time: 6:00am
Temp: 8C
Humidity: 26%
Condition: blue sky and calm
Distance: 20 miles (33.5km)

I did an uneventful 20 miler early this morning.  It took me 3:37 with one pee break.  I worked a 12 hour shift yesterday.  I was dead tired after the run and went right back to sleep for a few hours.  I wasn't planning to do LSD today but since Pasadena Marathon was cancelled last weekend, I need to get my run in.  On top of all that,  I have also signed up for the Las Vegas Marathon (7/12).  This means I will be doing back to back marathons.  Now, what am I getting myself into? Two marathons in 7 days!!

Date:  09/27/08
Time:  5:30am
Temp:  25C and sunny
Humidity: 15%
Distance: 10 miles
Mode: Taper

今朝一早跑咗10 miles. 今個月內一共跑咗90 miles(150K).  下個月一定唔會跑咁多.  依家係taper緊, 下星期四再跑多3 miles.  相信對嚟緊下周十月四日的高原沙漠全馬可以no problem.  刚刚上磅, 自八月尾起, 一共重了2.5磅, 小弟一早expect咗.

Lvrunner ching,

氣温得25 度濕度得 10度  正呀！
難得感好天氣，所以有感多食感多啦
但你的狀態好像返理啦！天殘腳又可以發揮威力啦！

祝馬到功成！

Thanks, pwong hing!!

一月一全馬? 好忙好緊密喎
我呢邊就賽季完左, 準備進入維修期

I am actually doing 3 full in 70 days!  My strategy is to to treat each marathon as a long run.  Hopefully everything goes well.

勁呀！師兄係咪黎緊有大賽，所以頻頻操

奧斯卡兄 ~

對呀! 呢d咪係叫忘羊補牢囉, 除咗夏威夷外都不算得係大賽. 小弟由十月初起會有一個月一個全馬, 小弟打算將佢地treat哂做LSD.  希望唔好跑殘對腳就happy啦!

Haven't typed anything here for a month now, I better say something here.

本來今日預備去游水的, 點知今朝一早起身心血來潮又出去跑咗20 miles (33k). 天氣開此轉變, 25C and 濕度亦只有 10%, 沒有像先一排咁熱了.  跑起來很輕鬆 and uneventful, 跑到18.7 miles時右小腿想抽筋, 立即停下來stretch咗30秒, 再跑埋剩餘1.3 miles都冇事, 連一次小解一共用了3:47hours.  抽筋原因可能跑太密LSD (20 miles last Saturday too)或唔記得換翻Gatorade Endurance嚟飲.  Check吓 Powerade, Sodium嘅成份只係55g per 8oz, 而Gatorade Endurance formula則成200g per 8 oz.  睇吓個日曆, 連埋Disneyland 1/2, 呢三個星期共跑咗成71 miles(120k), 簡直想昨屎都未定

Nice place
Is it far away to LV Blvd? There hadn't any people or car on the street.

We live approx. 15 minutes (driving time on the freeway) from the Strip.
