Mileage

November 22nd, 2010

As usual, work has been more hectic : an audit here, a deadline there , another deadline over there …. ok, I know you get the picture :)

It really is difficult squeezing in runs at 4 in the morning on a weekday, considering that you have slept at 11:30 pm the day before.

So this is the best schedule that I came up with last week :

Monday – Rest
Tuesday – 21 KM
Wednesday – 8 KM
Thursday – 20 KM
Friday – Rest
Saturday – 21 KM
Sunday – 23 KM

I was able to do only 93 KMs for last week and my knees are sore – my weekend runs couldn’t even be considered “long” runs.

I hope I could sustain this mileage for this week before increasing it next week. Wish me luck :)

NU 107 – Free Falling

November 11th, 2010

I can still remember the time when I first listened to new wave music, I was a freshman in high school then. It was one of those mundane afternoons where I was scanning the frequency modulation band for relaxing music to listen to while solving Algebra problems.

That moment  had  rippled through my life – the attitude, the rock and roll lifestyle and most of all the music – finally, an alternative to the jokes from the supposedly number one pop radio station at the time.

The last few days of their broadcast were great  : Zach and Joey in the morning (in the afternoon and in cyberspace) and Tom Lupton’s eulogy to mention a few, brought back happy  memories from 23 years ago.

Thank you NU 107 for rocking this runner’s life.
