Day 3 was… indulgent! OH NO! I ended up watching a movie, ordering the “Oscar Bundle at NY Fries” which included the following:

• spaghetti meatballs
• chicken poppers
• fries w/ pesto dip
• ice tea

Then I also bought myself 130grams of chocolates from Candy Corner. Uh-oh…

I was going through my old blog posts (http://runforchange.wordpress.com) and I came across this list of things to do.

It’s been more than a year since my favorite picture was taken…

[Photo courtesy of Ben Chan]

It was taken during the Nike Human Race (31.08.2008). It was the time when I was at my so-called “PEAK”. It was when I had passed some people I had been training with and it was also when I realized I loved hills! This race was held at McKinley hills. I think it was one of the very first events that used this venue for road races.

Can anyone guess who’s standing next to me in the picture below?  (HINT: She’s now a Nike Human Race Ambassador) Yes! It’s Bards Bathan, the Nike Ambassador of Team BananaRunning. She was actually the person who inspired me to put up my first blog after I had visited hers and read her amazing weight loss story.

I’ve been trying to find my passion…

I define PASSION as something that drives you… motivates you… inspires you… or something that you can’t really describe but you know you have to do it, live it or love it.

There are a lot of things that I like but I have yet to find what is my passion.
