Some good news for my runs ....

How time flies and it's only four more months for 2015 to ends. Well, I was kinda busy last week and didn't really update my blog and all of a sudden, I find myself writing the first post for August. Anyway, not a bad day today for the first working day of August as I finally found a running partner for the Standard Chartered Half Marathon. My Deputy Director, who was quite a fast runner, decided to take part in this event and I bet he will have to wait for me at the finishing line. hahaha... He usually paced around 5 mins + to  6 mins + for a 15KM run and ran non-stop. Phew... And, he's a trained policeman in his younger days.

Another good news in running is my ex-boss asked me to join her for a 10KM charity run in early September and in addition, great to see another colleague of mine interested too. We signed up together today. Well, thus, I have two runs lined for me for the rest of 2015, one in early Sept and another one in early Dec. I finished my last run in early July and the schedule looks quite balance. It's almost 2 months apart for all the three races.

Ok, nothing grand for dinner tonight after my workout at the gym on a rainy day. It's been raining the whole day till evening. It's just ginger deer meat rice with a sunny side up. It helps to warm me up. :)


 

Have a great week!

  2. Now that sure looks good! Love the crispy frills around the edges of the egg while the yolk is still runny! Absolutely perfect! Standard way of cooking venison, very nice. Very popular around here.

  6. I love deer meat. But must cook to tender otherwise too tough to chew. Long time did not eat deer meat.

    Nice rice meal you have here.

    Good luck in your upcoming runs. Sound you would be busy training and running for the rest of 2015.

    1. Rose - The meat is a bit tender and hard. It should be tender else not nice.
      Thanks for the encouragement.

  11. Doe A Deer, A Female Deer...
    So, Chris has eaten the yummy Deer!
    He will now run faster than Mr Deputy Director!

    Oh yes, it seems that everyone loves tender deer meat with ginger!
    I ate them many times too and once the Western Chef roasted it with some honey sauce in China.
    Over here, it is not cheap and normally the captain had to announce its availability to take special orders.
    Good that you are embarking into longer running distance now. Wear good shoes, listen to SONY bluetooths and eat lots of deer meat to run faster like one okay! Wkakakaka

    I certainly admire you with your running. Me? Nope, got a bad knee.
    That ginger deer meat looks delicious! Wonder where they got the dear from?
    Have a nice day.
