Just got in from a grueling trip to SouthEast Asia.  Something like SFO-Hong Kong-Singapore-Bangkok-Singapore-Jakarta-Singapore-Hong Kong-SFO!
I just averted the following disasters and potential for massive trip mayhem:
1. I arrived in Hong Kong last week just as they were under Typhoon warning, which hit in full force 48 hours after I had been there and was gone [...]

On Thursday afternoon after a crazy 24 hours, my friend Ludvig and I ran an incredible 11.5km (7+m) around the Mcketchee (sp) reservoir in Singapore. I had landed in Singapore about 2am after delayed connection in Hong Kong, up at 7am and time spent in the gym working on weights. After a series [...]

There’s so much more to running than just running…or at least there should be if you want to maximize performance and minimize injury.
Gone are the [...]

Today, a small group of us, (Kim, Dave, Scott and myself) ran about 14 miles in the hills around China Camp and made the summit also.  Weather was perfect and except for a bunch of times we had to stop and find our way, it was a great run.  We were very strong, and once [...]
