Sir Cecil's Ride Trail Run (ie the big mistake)

Trail runners or miners?  There are reasons why you should only do one big run a week.

If you are smarter than me, perhaps you don't have to keep reading.

CNY Lantau Hike

Well you knew I would squeeze in some kind of outdoor activity on this long weekend.  And for my first time ever, a hike on the isle of Lantau.

Greenpower 25k

My longest distance to date, and my first trail race ever!
25 kilometers (15.5 miles) in 5:53:23
116 out of 179 females

The full report...

Tin Hau to Stanley via the Twins

Yes, those would be The Twins.  Keep reading!

Hong Kong Trail Stages 7 & 8

I wish my iphoto wasn't being cranky and holding my other pictures from the weekend hostage.  Then I could add some interesting, non-training related pictures and posts!  Sorry, you'll have to suffer through more happy trails.

Last month, me, Creepster and Joebro scouted HK Trail stages 5 & 6 for the Green Power race.  So this time me and Joebro returned to complete stages 7 & 8.

Keep going, there's more!

Black's Link Trail Run

There was no wimp trail run schedule for this week, and it made me a little sad. But lo and behold one was scheduled at the last minute, and I scurried out of the office to make it to the run. This was the same route we did last week, and while still being a challenge, I'm getting more comfortable running on the trails. Inclines however are still a battle. And we saw a porcupine. Awesome!

Tuesday Night Trail Run, the sequel

Before I got my ass handed to me, again.  At least I was faster than the Blair Witch (file under: things I think about while trail running in the dark)

New Year's Day Monkey Hike

The game plan for New Year's day was the 10th annual 10k race around Cheung Chau island.  As you might have guessed, after all that delicious champagne (and a little bourbon too. I'm weak.) it was def not gonna happen.

Tuesday Night Trail Run

Tarahumara training is in full force!  Tuesday I went on a 12k trail run with the meetup group.  Wowwie! 

Continue for a picture of the Midlevels ghost runner!

Boxing Day (observed) Explorations: Sharp Island and an Abandoned Amusement Park

A day exploring new territory.

And all wearing vibrams! The only shoe for the job.

Boating, hiking, bushwacking and trespassing after the jump.

Merry Christmas from the Kong!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Official Christmas celebrations started with midnight mass.  Dim sum and beer followed of course!

Sunday Funday: Hiking Edition

My Friday and Saturday were packed with fun and adventure, so why stop there?  I'm a big fan of SUNDAY FUN-DAY!
