Little Bits of Everything: August 2006
http://mamitwins.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Little Bits of Everything. Uto city, Kumamoto, Japan. I returned to Japan in April 2011 after living in NZ for the past 12 years. It's so refreshing to immerse in the Japanese culture after such a long break. View my complete profile. From Japan, 2011. Two big incidents in 2009. The Meanest Chocolate Cake Recipe. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. Posted by Mami 5:55 PM. Links to this post. Monday, August 28, 2006. This is the view from our backyard. Does this tempt you to come and visit us in New Zealand? Also c...

Ultra-distance Adventures: 12/01/2008 - 01/01/2009
http://ultradistanceadventures.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. So near . . . and yet so far. You rarely hear of anyone running for 24 hours barefooted. Not that it hasn’t been done, mind you. There are at least two others that I know of, a German man and a Dutch woman. Also, I’m sure the odd indigenous person has had a go. But it’s only we Westerners that make a song and dance about the feat. Such weird scenes inside the goldmine! Was it the chanting (of Indian bhajans)? Was it the food (electrolytes and carbohydrates)? Suddenly, at two...

Ultra-distance Adventures: Twelve hours for the first time
http://ultradistanceadventures.blogspot.com/2008/03/twelve-hours-for-first-time.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2008. Twelve hours for the first time. On 7 March, 2008, I completed my longest training run ever: 72.2 kilometres in 12 hours. This is my third-greatest distance. It is the longest distance that I’ve run barefoot. And, at twelve hours, this is the maximum duration that I intend to train. But only in terms of time. Over the next 8 months, until I take part in the next Sri Chinmoy 24-hour challenge in Auckland on the 1. I do my training at. To the corner of Harbour Terrace and. Muscle f...

William's World Welcome: Enter the Portal
http://williamsworldwelcome.blogspot.com/2007/06/not-another-blog.html
Monday, June 11, 2007. I'm probably the most interesting person that I know . . . and that's how it should be. For any of us. Should be the most interesting person who. So, welcome to the machine. From this page - this. Blog's only post - you'll travel elsewhere. Bon voyage. You choose the itinerary. From here you get to explore the facets of my persona. It barely keeps you up to date with my doings, just enough to be able to claim, "Oh yes, I know that guy." But. Then we get onto my personal life. B...

Ultra-distance Adventures: 02/01/2008 - 03/01/2008
http://ultradistanceadventures.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 16, 2008. To Set a World Record. This year I have a two-fold aim: set an athletic world record and invent a new religion that makes all the others obsolete. See elsewhere for the later ;-). On February 15, I complete my fifth long distance training run. Weekly or fortnightly I have jog-walked 20, 30, 40, 50 and now 60 kilometres. A few notes about the last outing to be written up later:. I felt fresh all the way. Not much pain in that spot in my neck that I usually get. Rhythm ...I fou...

http://ultradistanceadventures.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 15, 2007. Getting back into the Groove. There are a couple of things that I want to do this year: one is to set a world record, the other is to make all religions redundant. I’ll document the first journey here. So today I got out of the house to make a start – just get out there and do it! This process is going to take me a year, but as the ancient Chinese say, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. The funny thing is that once more I feel like a novice; I’ve f...

Ultra-distance Adventures: Not the September half in Dunedin
http://ultradistanceadventures.blogspot.com/2008/09/not-september-half-in-dunedin.html
Monday, September 15, 2008. Not the September half in Dunedin. Mami hasn't run at all since June. She has a suspected hairline fracture (not covered by ACC). So, what's new? My training has been on again, off again. Some little niggles such as calves. The odd cold. And I was trying to train for too different events. Mostly I tried to use the Caledonian. I was - and still am - concerned about the surface. Really, I would prefer asphalt. Here's how I see it:. I need to do a marathon's worth jogging (from 1...

Ultra-distance Adventures: Queen's Birthday half marathon
http://ultradistanceadventures.blogspot.com/2008/06/queens-birthday-half-marathon.html
Friday, June 06, 2008. Queen's Birthday half marathon. Mami and I took part in the 2008 Queen's Birthday half marathon in Christchurch, though we weren't in the best condition. Mami has been having problems with a calf muscle, and I a niggly side of my foot as well as an unresolved gallstone condition. Mami passed me then, and I thought that I had her, having started at least 3 minutes behind her. No such luck - in the final 4 kilometres I lost a lot of time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ultra-distance Adventures: 04/01/2008 - 05/01/2008
http://ultradistanceadventures.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 20, 2008. Broken glass and bad weather. The forecast was poor, but since I was up anyway I thought that if I could get in my long run this Friday that that would leave the whole weekend for Mami and I. Therefore, I decided to put in 20 or 30 kilometres and then, if the conditions really. Didn’t permit, I could repeat the exercise on Sunday, when, hopefully, the front would have blown by. Y = 5x 40. If I can keep going at 8 km/h pace for the first part of the race, I get another line:. All I...
