March 12, 2011

Photo credit It’s been two weeks since my father’s accident. I am happy to report that he is back on his feet, living normally and not showing any signs of physical trauma except for a big black bruise on his left thigh. No pain anywhere, just as good as new. Except for the occasional mental [...]

Running on track

November 27, 2010

My indoor runs using a treadmill has seen some progress. I’ve been clocking less than 24 minutes (23:58 to be precise) for a 3 kilometer run so I thought I really need to try the real track outside to see how it is. I’ve always known that running inside is easier than running outside since there [...]

For a change, Zumba

November 20, 2010

I’ve been away for really long – last blog post being 5 days ago! Well, I had three days off from Mon-Wednesday this week but was back to work on Thursday. I attempted to blog but my post-holiday work schedule didn’t allow.  Today is Saturday so I’ll post something about fitness. I didn’t go to [...]
