July 20 - Aug 2 sick for the whole week... Exercising Third running event of 2026, I went to Harbour 10k last Sunday. It was a super fun, quick and flat course with great views. Reached my 10k pb by a little bit, so I am happy. Still a long way to go to achieve my 10k goal time, but I will make it eventually given some more time. It was a bit chilly early morning, so despite I was very excited, I…
July 6 - July 19 cold rainy winter is here... Running Still could not keep up with running, mainly I blame the rain, the coldness and early sunset. I did run at the gym and outdoors several times in the past two weeks. Week of 13 July I ran three times. I can see airplanes landing on my way, it lifts up the mood a lot. Always someone there at the viewing spot so never lonely! Reading Listening to…
June 28 - July 5 a week full of work... Exercising ran twice this week, not the best scenario but I tried... Reading I finished Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson. Overall I think it's okay and I started the second book The Well of Ascension, but I am not super intrigued by it so far. Went to a bookshop this weekend and saw a row of Sanderson books. I started a new book The Daughter…
May 7 - June 28 It's been 3 weeks since my last blog...been super busy... Exercising Not running as much as I wanted for these weeks, I mainly blame the weather (it's my first winter in the southern hemisphere). The sun sets before I get to home so no chance to run outdoors during the week. But I did explore a new running route near my home, and on the way I get to see airplanes! Super cool!…
May 25 - June 7 Birthday and chilly autumn in the southern hemisphere. Exercising The last week of May I ran 4 times, including a relaxing trail running session at Manly Beach. So wonderful to run along the beach and see the ocean, it is THE reason to live in Sydney! Interesting walk in the swamp Route near Shelly Beach Reading Fourth Wing , I am super late to the hype and mostly just curious what…
May 11 - May 24 yup another 2 weeks, nothing much going on. Exercising Last week I was not running much as the moon cycle arrived I did some arm and leg workout, and looking forward to starting a new 8-week training session This week I ran 4 times: 5k, 6k, 6k, and 10k. On Saturday I went to Centennial Park and joined the running crowds there before it rained. Felt really accomplished after the…
May 4 - May 10 Yup I skipped a week, just busy... nothing much happening, now feeling excited for my next running event. Running Last Sunday (May 3rd) I did my 2nd half marathon! It was a blast with great views and lots of positive energy from spectators. There were 24,000+ people running. The course was really tough with 190m elevation gain, and I had to walk for some hills otherwise my heart…
April 20 - April 26 A good week because there is a public holiday next Monday! Running training mode is on for this week: 5km, 6km, 5km, 4km and 16km, so total 36km. Nothing special, just running! It's officially one week to the half marathon day. on Sunday (today) I went to Centennial Park to do the long run. It took me 4.5 loops to do 16km, and this place is a runner's paradise. You will see…
April 13 - April 19 A long, rough and emotional week. Running only ran twice this week: 5km and 6km. I got a new running tank top from Lululemon. I compared several options from other brands and consulted dear Claude and Gemini, they both recommended this fabric blend out of 3 options, so I trusted them, and this one was actually the cheapest since it was on sale. I got it and wore once, I'd say…
April 6 - April 12 The short but busy week after break. Running and Swimming On Friday I went for a swim, 1km. The day was above 30 degrees so all the kids went out to the outdoor swimming pool, it was a crowded day but still manageable. I ran 4 times this week: 5km, 7km, 5km and 12km. I got myself a new pair of running shoes over easter break: HOKA Mach 6 , it was on sale because Mach 7 was out…
