Intro... and I thought for a while what to put here about me. :) What do you wanna know? I am just a simple guy working in an IT Company handling Operations and Project Management. I'm also going through a torturous 16 months "express" double degree course at Kaplan APMI - Murdoch University. In this blog, you will basically find alot of nonsense from me.

I like to complain and yes I complain alot but for things that are not right. If you know me well enough then you will know that I always complain for a reason :D otherwise I am just like any quiet guy next door starring at the laptop screen.

This blog details my daily experiences as well as my training for my runs. I have taken an interest in running since last year and I am working towards completing a Marathon this year... Do feel free to comment or message me I will definitely reply and if you need to email me, feel free to drop your emails to terencetkp@gmail.com!

//Abit of pain at the Knee area
Oops Its been a week since I last posted. Last week I was practically busy trying to clear all my work before I go on a 3 week leave starting from TODAY. YES TODAY IS THE DAY! But... the leave is meant for me to complete all my outstanding assignments (3 due this week) and to prepare for my examination papers on the 10th, 12th and 14th of December.

I'm having a little pain at the knee... the joint area. Its not a very painful thing but just a slight discomfort. I'm not sure if its because I didnt do enough stretching (I always do 6 to 7 stretching exercises) before I run or is it because of the distance that I'm going... I have already stopped at 17km.. and will not attempt till my knee is well again. So far last week on Monday I had my personal best of 1hr 13mins for a 10km run and the two subsequent runs on Thursday and Saturdays were 35mins:21:90 and 36mins:55:48. Both timing are still better then my previous runs but I'm considering to take it slightly slower now since I have an aching knee. I still want to run for life and thus I don't wish to let anything happen to my knees.

I'm also planning to go get a proper running shoe but am considering all the brands now. Asics seems to be a very popular brand... so is Adidas Adizero... and at the same time I'm also considering NIKE... because of the NIKE+ function. I think its cool that I can track my running distance and etc with it.. but I will need an IPOD Nano to achieve that of course... currently I'm running with my 80GB IPOD that was given to me from my friends on my birthday... so If I were to get the NIKE+ shoe, I must also buy a IPOD Nano and the device $$$$$$.

I have managed to find the Gatorade Thirst Quencher in Powder form and is now drinking it everyday to replenish the loss fluids. My goal is to run AHM next year.. the very first time I will be running.. (yes yes I know army got AHM but I never run because I'm always excused from running and have to either do Duty Clerk or just stay home). I also hope to lose abit more weight. Currently I'm quite happy that I'd managed to shed a few KGs.. but it will only work If i start eating RIGHT as well. I'm trying my best to learn what I have to eat daily.. how much to consume what and etc... but its abit tedious. With the loads of stuffs to do.. I duno if I can really find time.. but I'm staying away from all the unhealthy stuffs. Lunch is like subway or mee fen soup... or maybe zai mee fen with alot alot alot of vegs and one "meat".

It has also been raining alot nowadays and its hindering my progress to run. I think I have to come up with some wet weather programmes to do other things at home instead.

Thats all for my blog entry today. I will try to find more time to work on this blog, design my own skin and put up a shoutbox and links. For now, leave me a comment if you want to! I will reply =)
