  • The Phone Ring.

    Today I’m taking a break from all the travel and want to share with you a funny story instead.  It happened to me this morning and thinking about it makes me laugh.  I do wonder though who is the culprit.  The active or the lazy me. You judge. The story goes like this.  Tuesdays being my…

  • Peaceful Running

    This morning I went off to run before work as normal.  I push my lazy self off my comfy bed and whilst driving to the fitness, I wonder if there will ever come a day when the “lazy me” is gone and dead.  It’s been almost two years since I’ve started running and every morning it’s…

  • Many of us can be a little lazy when it comes to exercising or maintaining our health. Okay, not just “a little” we can be “very” lazy. It’s been over a year since I’ve lost the 15kgs worth of fat and so far I’ve been pretty good at maintaining it. I have not gained more…

  • This morning I went running and still even though its been over a year since I started running, I still can’t quite get the breathing right. I take short breaths in and long breaths out. I gasp for air and my legs start to go all wobbly. All I can think is when do I…

  • Fitness fashion: Did you know?

    When you go to the gym or fitness to workout there is a certain sense of  fashion at each one.  In some places in Bangkok, the norm is just an old t-shirt with a pair of shorts, anything goes.  In other gyms (which may cater to the more young and ‘hip’ professionals) the norm might include form…

  • Run but Run Abroad?

    When packing for my two week trip to Singapore I am always at a dilemma as to what to bring. I want to travel light so that I’d have space to bring my shopping and gifts back yet there are also a few essentials I think I should bring.  The list gets longer the older…

  • Cheat Not, Run For Yourself.

    It’s a day after the run, and although I only did 5K somehow my legs are still sore.  It must have been the way I “tiptoe” run or perhaps I’m just not used to so much running.  Funny though, even with sore legs,  the exhiliration from the run still lingers on.  I’m still very much stress…

  • My 5K Bangkok Marathon

    An event I had been looking forward to with much anticipation finally arrived today: The Bangkok Marathon.  The last time I ran (well walked most of it) was two years ago when I was still very chubby and very unfit.  This year, I registered for the 5K and being fitter I wanted to see how…

  • Run Outside and Focus

    Eversince I started seriously running to lose weight, I’ve been running indoors on a treadmill.  I’ve run outside on and off before, but those were the days when I did exercise like the way I ran: on and off.  Now its good. I’m still running although it was terribly hard to get back in “the…
