Asics Gel Evolution

Was using the New Balance 1211, more for runners who over-pronates, i.e. flat foot. Had bruised toe nail for my first half-marathon, and lost my big toe nail (was in a pair of adidas that was too small for my feet). Went to the new balance tech centre to get the 1211, and there was soooo much room at the forefoot area, and good support for my feet. Bought it and completed 2 marathons in it, with no more bruised toes..!

Went to the Running lab in funan and got myself attracted to a pair of asics, after fitting and doing some run, decide to buy it. It is now my racing shoes, and the comfort level increase after putting in the in-soles which is more expensive than the shoes itself..

Completed an ironman with it...didn't really run in it, but it makes the strolling plus jogging of the half marathon less painful.... It will be my race shoe for the coming standard charted marathon and hope i can have a pain-free run and achieve a good timing for the run..

Reviews of the shoe: Comfortable and well cushioned. Provide very sturdy stability for over pronators. A good shoe worth the price.

3km run to test the $300 insoles

Finally told myself not to nap, but instead head out the dusty road for a short run to test out my new insoles....(customised in soles that cost a BOMB..near S$300).....went out with insoles in my ASICS Gel Evolution, feels really comfortable for the first km, as it went on, began to feel pain in my lower back, so drop my pace a little.....and went real slow for the last km..

i am very sure that my gait and my running posture was altered in quite a huge manner..so...got to run more to get use to it.....only left with 62 days more to D-day...so got to add more mileages..

longest that i have done so far was a 8km since 70.3...so...run and run and run...

trying to keep awake

Attend class today, and the module name is, " History of Management thought". It is a boring module, but the worse thing that can happen is, they have gotten a real boring and bad lecturer to teach.

Let me share some of the classic statements he'd made in class:
"i think many of you did not attend my class, if not why am i receiving so many emails with the repeating questions asking about the same thing". Just because many still don't understand what you trying to tell in class. Put it in plain, the stuff u say is of no value at all.

"i cannot help you out with the project, if i help you all, i am kelong(which means bias)"
Many a times, as students, it would be really good, if we are keen to learn, at the same time which to realise our mistakes as a project may determine a guy from failing or passing. Yes, you may be a PHD man, but that doesn't means everyone aspire to be like you and want to be like you.

"A lot of people ask me what is the difference between approaches and theories". and he just say, approaches are like aeroplanes, approach from the east and west, so they are usually very broad in nature. Where theories are like thoughts of thinkers, something more specific.
I am quite sure my youngest cousin can give me the definitions of both words better than him when he reads from the dictionary..

well, enough about this guy who never fails to spoil my day.
