Yet Again, I Spoke Too Soon.

Phil — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:13:02 +0000

Here I was thinking that I’m finally home free again, able to run freely without any aches or pains in my legs. Well unlucky me, I have shin splints right above my left ankle. I guess I’ll have to take some time off again before I put in any more miles…luckily with my move coming [...]

Finally Over the Hump

Phil — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:42:49 +0000

I ran 5 miles yesterday, the first time since Jan. 14, 2008. I think it was basically after that when I started accruing a bunch of running injuries and had to cut down on running mileage. I will probably stay at the 5-6 mile distance for a while so I can build up my leg [...]

New Running “Shoes”!

Phil — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 05:02:44 +0000

Well you know the multi-year dilemma and fiasco about which running shoes I was eventually going to get? Well I finally bit the bullet and got a pair of Vibram Five Finger Bikila, the first VFF specifically designed for running.

I took them out for a 3.5 mile run today and they felt great. They’re a [...]

Motivation, Denver, CO and Dragonboat

Considering how much free time I have/had in the past, I guess it all boils down to me just being plain lazy at updating my website. I suppose you can chalk it up to lack of interest…I don’t think many people read this website, which in all honesty, doesn’t come at a surprise or [...]

MLB All-Star 5K

Phil — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:56:05 +0000

After over two years, I finally ran my first “competitive” road race this past Sunday at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. I put competitive in quotes, because 1) it was just for fun and 2) I’m not good enough of a runner (nor ever will be) to compete against any REAL runners. But to [...]

Okay, I’m Back (For the 3289th Time)

Phil — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 20:48:35 +0000

Okay, after my two week trip to France and another two week hiatus from my blog, I am back!

Catalina Day 2 coming soon, but for now, here are my pictures from France to tide you over.

Also, it seems like World Cup fever has gripped America!

Catalina Island Backpacking Part 2 (coming soon)

Phil — Wed, 26 May 2010 04:20:21 +0000

I’m not going to have time to upload pictures of Day 2 for a couple weeks (or more) since I’m going to France tomorrow for a couple weeks (ooh-la-la.) So for now, here’s my photo album on Facebook of Catalina days 1, 2 and 3.

So au revoir for now!

Catalina Island Backpacking Trip Part 1

Phil — Mon, 24 May 2010 23:34:22 +0000

I’m a week late, but I’m finally getting around to posting pictures and a trip-report for my Catalina Island backpacking trip with my brother-in-law Vu. I brought along my AMOD AGL3080 GPS Data Logger and it worked fabulously; the trip log of our first day is the picture above. The weather was pretty good hiking [...]

Argh, It Happend AGAIN!!

Phil — Fri, 14 May 2010 02:15:29 +0000

Yes, I’m using the same image I did the last time this happened because I just became the victim of credit card fraud on the SAME CARD (different CC numbers obviously.) It’s been almost two years since my last credit card fraud happened, but luckily, Bank of America has been just as [...]
