Just finished session 2 of my 10K running program. I can’t believe I’m actually doing this and with passion too! The question is, for how long? hehehe

going for another run

To fulfill my goals this year of running the marathon and duathlon, I had to jump back in to running again. The last time I ran was a year ago. My wife recommended a droid app which is called Couch to 5K by RunDouble. It’s basically a training program for running. It offers running plans [...]

Completed another endurance training session – Rolling Hilly Course. This session always kicks my butt!!!

When I got up this morning, I only planned to ride 20 miles and not towards north. I was already a mile away and I had a change of heart. I said to myself I’m gonna ride to Milpitas instead and climb up to Mt. Hamilton on my way back. And I got too confident [...]

I’m happy and satisfied with this ride. I cut 10 minutes of ride time compared to my previous one on the same route. I thought that was pretty good. I also climbed the backside of Metcalf 1 minute and 20 seconds earlier than my last climb. And same as last time, I was on 28T [...]

Best ride so far! The ride today was supposed to be mostly flat but the steep rollers on Alameda de Las Pulgas gave me a good workout I was grinding it, I was standing it and the best of it all… I was on the gears that I’ve never imagined I could use on steep [...]

Accomplished three things on this ride: 1. The will to wake up early to ride and was able to put the kids back to sleep (so clingy!) 2. Was on 28 tooth all the way on the Metcalf climb 3. Non-stop climb on Metcalf The climb on the backside of Metcalf is approximately 1.7 miles [...]
