Hello world!

If you are here for the first time, then welcome.

I've operated a blog prior to this one. It was mostly incoherent things that crossed my mind over the years.  

The simple aim behind this blog is that. 
  • I've been told that my writing quality has deteriorate over the last year. This blog would be a good instrument for me to practice my writings skills. 

I took the picture below after a long run from the village of Ide to the seafront in Dawlish. It was expected to rain that day but since I haven't ran for a long time I've decided to go for it. I've figured if I got tired or lazy I will jump on the train then bus home. I ran for 2 hours straight in the cold and heavy rain.  When I reached the beach, the sun suddenly opened up and I felt life start flowing back into me. As I stood in front of the English Channel, I found that I have energy/will/drive to swim across the Channel to seek excellence and find my place in the world. In the end it turned to be a beautiful day.

Race Report:- Maverick Inov-8 X Series: Peak District (7/7/2018)

Image
Date: 7/7/2018 (Saturday) Middle Route: 27.1km Elevation: +986m/-986m Race Details This is the second race I entered in fell/trail conditions. I signed up for the long route 46km in February and decided to scale back the distance to 27km as I found I could not fit long runs during the Ramadhan month. Then 5 days before the race day I was down with chest infection. I suspect this is due to lingering cold emerging from air travel and it just got worse on the return flight to England. I was bedridden from Monday to Wednesday, coughing up mucus while pumping a lot vitamin C and water in my body to get better. By Thursday night, I know there is no way I will be able to race on Saturday. A short email to the race organizer informed me that there won’t be any cut-off time for participants doing the middle route, aka I can walk this course. My peak flow reading on Friday morning was 300 when the ideal reading for my age and height is expected to be 420. It is settled then, I ...

Race Report:- Kong Mini Mountain Marathon Series: Peak District (25/11/2018)

Image
Date: 25/11/2018 (Sunday) Distance travel: 15.9km Elevation: +405m/-422m Time: 04:05:50 After a month swapping the fells with the soft trail behind my house, I started to feel the itch to be outside in the fells but my right leg is still recovering from the tumble I took during the Lakes in the Day event last month. This is where Kong Mini Mountain Marathon come in. I did a navigation course organized by the Fell Runner Association in September. (Un)fortunately the navigation happened during a sunny spell in the Lakes District, so apart from the night navigation exercise, everyone can see where the control points are and the folks in front of them. Today’s event really put my navigation skills to the test. My objectives for this event are; i) work on my navigational skills, ii) enjoy the hills/fells regardless its conditions and iii) getting some elevation in as I have been stuck in flat Norwich for a month now. Mountainmarathon is where the fell running...

I made my own pasta today!

Image
 It's a Sunday and another lockdown (movement control order) week. I've been craving fresh made pasta for awhile. Apparently restaurants that sell pasta within the 10km radium from my house only used boxed pasta.  The last time I knead dough was in 2019 when I made seitan. 10 minutes is too long then. But I'm desperate for fresh pasta this time.  Hence,  I made a mistake mopping the floor in the morning, and by the time I'm done I have to mop the floor again since there are eggs and flour on the floor now.  I clearly have no talent and skills with the rolling pin, plus I'm tired with the kneading. So this is how my pasta looks like: By the time this is done, I'm hungry. Since I have a lot of cheese and that is the quickest, I ended up with a spinach cheese pasta.  It was a satisfying meal.
