It's bn awhile since my last wake up call...
It's been a long time since i felt like I was being pushed by someone to give me 101% in training.

Standard Charted Singapore Marathon (Half)- 1:45.51.82"

After a long hiatus.... I'm back with much on my mind...
It's been a long time since i blogged not because I've lost the interest in penning my thoughts but rather it seems like I hardly have the time at hand to sit down and organise my thoughts. Weekends just seem to past me by before I know it while the long weekdays just seem to drag on with what seems to be forever. I know I'm luckier than most being ( Read more... )
