Trail Run @ FRIM with KC Leong's group

Had a great run today with KC's group and and also those training for TMBT '12. I think those doing it are kind of crazy....50km-100km in trails. Anything more than 42.195km for me is already far enough.

Foot is still giving me problems at times but I still can run through. Hopefully I am not damaging it further. Hoping to make my training runs more consistent. Coming home late sometimes makes me lazy to change and head out for a run. I rather sit down on my sofa and switch on the TV and chill out.

Most of the runners are at PAR 8 Relay Run happening just a few kms away at Kepong Metropolitan Park. Nowadays, I am just so slow I don't feel like competing. 

I just finished watching the Olympics Mens Marathon and the race was won by Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda. A surprise winner, beating two fast Kenyans in the field. What a win!

Track & Field events attracts me more than any other events, except maybe tennis but disappointed that Federer lost. But at least he won his first medal in singles.

David Rudisha certainly gets my vote for the most outstanding performance. Instead of the usual Olympics wait-and-see tactic, he just tore the field apart right from the gun and broke the World Record time of 1m40.91sec. Here are some recent articles about him:

2. Usain Bolt v David Rudisha over 400m is not impossible, and would be a lot of fun

Of course, Usain Bolt again proves that he is the best sprinted in the world when everyone doubted him after finishing second in both 100m & 200m Jamaican trails behind Yohan Blake. He was just a class of his own when he won both the sprint events plus finishing with a world record time in the 4 x 100m relay. I mean why wouldn't it be a world record with so much sprint talents.
