181008 AT the court for the second time
Last Tuesday squat morning mixed with afternoon jump was ok.... cant expect much
then the next 4 days turn in to hell mode....all muscle break down classic repeat.
I did try to go jump but can not even touch the rim...
the 1 hr recover swim did something on Friday night.

Went back to the Squat rack on a Sunday morning, and also ran 3 km at night with my kid  with a feel good sore leg.

Monday morning sleep in... failing to wake up to gym.
Monday lunch Jump session and i think i am back... touch all the time.
The good thing is.. guess the 2.5 month non jumping time did not pull me back much.

BTW, i meet a kid at 19 yrs old.. reaching higher than me by 6 inch or so... with a max reach just 2or3 inch taller than me..
he think i am in the 20x.....  I am... in fact.. getting close to 40s....

we traded Instagram as he will go to Australia to study in 2 weeks.  (kids do not use facebook now days... i feel Olllldddd lol)

who is Leborn?

 
Lebron James

180925 Witnessing The True Competitor 3km race (Suppose to be solo)
This girl in front of us in black. Is younger and shorter than us. She ran solo by herself (which she is suppose to). With perfect form and pace.

We trail behind for the whole race, knowing she is younger, we try to over take over and over for at least 6 times.

Every time we got close, she blast off for few sec. Until the final 200m at the track, we fully charged and so does she. 200m full speed is tough for these kids. They end up finished the race side by side. (She is not even in our category.)

Right after we finished together, she start crying saying she can't find her dad or mom. We stand beside her to keep her company; apparently she is faster than both her older sister, dad and mom.

I am surprised to see she cry right after the finish line; she is like a mature professional thru out the race... After all, she is only 5 yrs old. Extremely Impressive.

We finished at 3rd place at 16:27.
PB is 15:10, however my gps logged our 3km at 15:29 for both today and our last race.

If only we can finish with our PB time, we would be 1st. (Current 1st is 15:23)

P.S. This is suppose to be a solo event. But we end up running together. I am sure things will be different if she is running solo.

180909 Ran a 3km race with avg pace 5:13

Did it with my 6 yrs old, placed 3rd against the boy in a (7-8 yrs old) race.
She will be officially 7 in November.

My ankle is having pain at the tibiocal caneal ligament  (yeah took me a while to find that name).  So I slip in those arch insole for the event.
Wa la, pain is gone... and after 5km, WA LA two gigantic blister appear lol.

We target to win...so this is what happen.
1. Blast off the start to get first position.
2. At about 500m mark, got over take and placed 2nd.
3. Trying to hang close but could not keep up.
4. At 1.5km, got over take again and placed 3rd.   I felt my girl is tired, and I am also, so no instruction was given to give a fight.
5. Could not hang close again and got pulling away slowly.
6. With 800m left, 4th attacked from behind.  We try our best to run and kept 3rd.
7. At final 400m, suppose to DASH, but I am too weak and tired and did not give instruction.
8. Dash appear in the last 40meters, and lost to 2nd place by 8sec.

Pace Summary:
0-1km at 4:59
2-2km at 5:27
3-3km at 5:13

total time at 15:10.  (Faster than last yr by 20 sec.)

My ankle still having issue.
no jump training...
next week 1km race with her.

180829  Long Time no See on Adarq.

Since early July... I had lost some one very important.
I could not adjust and it affect me in many ways.

I saw this virtual Race event... which require participate to run a minimum of 100km from August 1st to 28th.    (100 for bronze, 150 for silver and 200 for gold medal)
For whatever reason... i decided to join....
may be i want to use this event as a way to clear my mind to get over the thing that happened and i could not change.

so....for the pass 28 days.
I ran 18 times, which include 16 session of 30min/5km and 2 session of 60min/10km.  In one of the day, I actually ran 5km at 7am and 5km at 7pm.

It is interesting, i thought since i only run once a week with kid before... I consider myself as a newbie runner... and running this much millage should improve my running ability (beginners gain right?).  The true is I had not seem any improvement in speed at all, the first 70km, 12 session or so... 

It is near the last 5 session or so.. I start seeing improvement.   My average pace go from 6.5 min/km  to now 5.5min/km, so i am able to break the 6min/km speed consistently in my 5km.  However... my body weight DID NOT decrease at all... WTF eh... I eat normally same as before.... I thought 100km...  like i run 30 min every 2nd days.. and WTF.... no weight lost?  this is some bull shxt running exercise useless crap that i am doing...

In my final run... I did 10km in the rain.. but my time is 1 hr and 42 sec. (So i am 42 sec SHORT of beating the 6min mark.)

Today is Aug 29th.  It is raining again...in fact it was raining daily for the pass few days, I am lucky that i was able to finish the final few km in the rain.

A total of 101km is finished in 18 sessions in 28days.
The Event is Officially over.  And I think.. i must seriously move on.

Focus on what is important that i can control, in work, in life and family etc.   also.. vertical jump....

Zianimal always says... Die trying.

I should get back to vertical.  Now that the event is over, which symbolize me finally moving on fwd from the past.
