so, today, later on, i'm supposed to talk to the coach abt races and camps for me to do in 2010. as i was planning myself. i started to come up with sort kind of races in many different places. if u c on the side bar, u would think, well.....even i thought i was ambitious, but then i realized and felt pretty sure i won't b doing all of the stuffs that i posted there. so, in the mean time, let's just called it the mock plan. as for the real and actual plan, stay tuned....i'll dfntly update that soon.
in line to the talk, i realized, all of our plan in life should b surrendered to GOD. it is always a must and good thing to do to have a plan for our life. about what things we want, about how we want the things to happen, about the things that we wanted to do, etc...but yet, all has to be done according to HIS plan. all shall be on HIS track, on HIS course. and that's why we surrender our plan to GOD. just as in Jer 29:11...God bless....

still running
last nite, i was doing my training run around my neighborhood, in the cold nite with snow all around the site of the road, as i liked it, since i think the snow actually help my visibility to the road with its reflection of the street and house's lite, especially with the holiday season decoration that people around my area putting up. it is always nice. and oh..., wanted to thank them for keep it lit in the neighborhood.
the run itself was pretty good. i was able to control my pace and my effort. i was able to control my hr in terms of pace and effort that i wanted to put in. after a little while not running with snow surrounding, i guess i kind of forgot of how cold it could b, so with my short, obviously i felt a little bit chilly, but it's nice.
with nite run, sometimes, comes a little problem from motorists. some of them are pretty understanding. as soon as they see me from afar still running, they would swerve a little bit to the other side to avoid me, but others, they are so very very....well....not sure what's the word, but for me it is sometimes annoying.
there was one time an old lady actually stop in front of my running path with no car coming from the other side for her to just swerve a little bit the other side. she actually stop, horned and looked at me, as if i was some kind of fugitive on the run. she seemed trying to check me out, and i was like.....what's up with that? with my two hands and shoulder raised up just like a little kid trying to act like he doesn't know what's going on, since well...for me, i didn't know what's going on with the old lady. as for me, i jst kept on running.
then, there are also people that seemed they are actually purposely trying to either ran me off the street, or just scare me. as for me, i always make sure people in the car see me and please share the road. btw, this is not a rage, but just something that i thought i found it funny how people driving a car can be so ignorant to the surrounding. i mean, where did u get ur license? did u bribe someone? oh well.....i guess that's jst one of the few gimmicks, or experience that i hd to go thru as a runner, huh? yeach.....i know.....sounded weird....any thoughts?

training start and so far....
i had start my training for the season for about a month, or so. so far, the weather here has been quite supportive of my training, thank GOD for that. the only not so good time so far is the wind and the day and nite when we had temperature in the teens here in the midwest. snow has not been much of a factor, at least so far for me, altho it had been showing for about 2 days, and it came on my rest day. prefect....hahhaha....
as of now, the training have brought me some issues. first, it was the shoe. i was trying different shoes to find an alternatives, but yet, somehow, my feet is just the special and weird kind. not many shoes can fit on my foot. i have been using the asics cumulus with 4e width, yes...u read it rite, 4e width. not sure where i got them. none of my siblings have that, but oh well....i guess that's one of my uniqueness... it is indeed both good and bad at the same time. the good thing, there's that one special shoe just for me, that it's definitely easy for me to get, but then again, it's not that good either that it means i don't have many choices. can't use other cool shoes that people are wearing, can't even try the one with the cool colorful type, but oh well....what can i do? i guess that's just the way GOD created me; unique and for me to be just like that as i am cool like that....
then, the alternatives shoes that i was trying to use for running caused pain problem on top of my foot. and surprisingly, that got fixed quite easily with just changing to my regularly fitted shoe, what's up with that? it's like the phrase, '...it's gotta b the shoes..' is indeed true...
next, i started to feel some pain on the parts of my leg and knee. and again, those were solved quite not so hard. basically, all i need is just rest, which sometimes, or maybe even most of the time, i forgot. i guess i tend to overworked. not sure whether it is my own character, or is it because of where i came from, or could it be because of my inheritance? hm....i must've had read too much. the book that i am reading rite now, definitely make me think like that, man....but i'm not going to talk about it here. i'll talk about it on the other blog. here, it should jst be about training.
so for now, training, i would say, have been going pretty decent. i think i am at where i would need to be so far in the beginning of the season, altho sometimes i think i should train more to be where i would like to be, but, then again, this is still way early in the season.
the goal of this early season run focus training was to maintain certain low hr, and i do know i achieve that, so....i guess i jst have to hang on....how do u measure and see the result? stay tuned....

long overdue...
yeach yeach....finally i'm back on the blogger's block. after a long hiatus, not sure exactly why, but probably because i jst lost my appetite to read and write, i am now definitely back on the writing mode. at the same time, it could also be because i am so looking forward for the year 2010. there are so much things that i'd like to do, but in this blog, it will all about training and race.
so...after the end of the season for me, in which i participated in the pelotonia 180-mile bike ride, i decided to take a vacation from pretty much everything, including work and training. but now, i am back, especially since we are already in december and so close to the end of 2009. woohoo...and yes, i am still training with the human powered racing group. the team pretty much already strated training about a month or so. got a chance to meet new teammates, new people, and even some old faces that i actually quite missed. as for me, some things had been planned for the season, but not all of them set yet. altho, the team already got off to a good start. we already had our very own first race event; and yes, i did participate in the beer mile. crazy?! but yet, it was fun, and for me, it was the intention to participate. for me, it was one of those things that u can say, '...there's always a first time for everything...' and yet for me, it was indeed the last time. not that i regret doing that, but i was just not good at that. altho, i am still looking for the pix from that nite. when i got them i'll definitely post it here, in the mean time, stay tuned....
