There are lots of things that are noisy in Taipei: fireworks at all hours, revving scooters with illegal exhausts, souped-up cars with loud engines/exhausts, temple shows at all hours, loud KTVs and quasi-KTVs in the parks with awful singing, Mahjong games that go on all night, … it seems to me that when people make…
The weather took a nasty turn last Saturday. Temps plummeted to 11~13C islandwide, in the first real test of winter. It’s pretty typical of this season’s weather, though to be honest, it’s been a bit dryer than I remember in past years. After last Saturday’s run, I headed out on the bike in the evening…
84.3kgs was the recorded weight before I consumed a light cinnamon roll and a double helping of my own mashed potatoes. Oh, well! They were good! Range of 1K times: 11:11 to 10:38. Evening run was marginally faster across all split times. Probably muscles were warmed up! LOL! It was chilly last night, though! I…
A wee bit slower than I’ve been doing, but I don’t care that much! Friday I’ll do a 10K if I can, to Shihlin in the morning. Just nice and easy. Should be okay.
I was passing on the way to the 4K last night. Came across Ultra Taiwan. Wow! Is it loud or what? And I was walking behind the main speakers, I think. I didn’t have tickets. No idea who was playing. Beats sounded good but nothing on YT yet. Here is 2023 Armin Van Buuren’s set….
So tonight I was about 5% slower than last night, but that’s probably because I didn’t actually set out to run as fast. I only decided at the 0.7k mark that I should try! LOL! Oh, well!
From zero running to 4K in 3 months. I couldn’t even run 100 meters. But I kinda learned how to do it. Watched a little videos and got some visual input. Then went out and tried. LOL! Photo by Quino Al I initially thought it would help lose some weight… truth, it hasn’t. Well, not…
Tonight’s jog was very broken up. I ran 1.78K then had to stop. The run was interrupted by fallen trees. So I turned back and finished the run only to discover that Google Fit had miscounted the 2K as ONLY 1.8K. So then I ran another 1K, and another 2K before walking another 1K. Finally…
