Used to be called a cyberpunk without adult supervision. I'm old now, but still enjoy free-spirited life, and love to discover and try new things. Currently, I'm just a junkie for overseas news and gossip. A cat lover, who also digs running and cycling.
The 1st run in 4 days. Went out to the footpath along neighborhood creek in early evening. Ran 10 km super easy as usual. Felt good and strong till the end. The 2nd photo is cat footprints. It came to the garden during the snow last weekend and left his markings on the entrance door. #running

An evening run to downtown and back. The local weather forecast for the coming weekend doesn't look good (The election day is Sunday). I decided to vote early at Town Hall. Ran 5 km + super easy. I did a big climb route in Zwift last night and my legs were still a little stiff.

Completed the 5th stage of TdZ on Tour of Fire and Ice in Watopia with over 1100m of climb. I do this hilly route only a couple of times a year. It took over 2 hours. Although I kept my comfortable pace, my legs were done. Hope I recover quickly and go out for a run tomorrow. #zwift #indoorcycling

NSD! An early evening run on the footpath along a local creek. Ran 10 km super easy as usual. Wore a new pair of running shoes, ASICS GEL-Excite 11. They are thick sole shoes and give me more cushioning. I prefer barefoot and flat sole shoes, but I'm giving the cushioning shoes a try. #running

Visited my mother at her nursing home in late afternoon. Stopped by at a supermarket on the way and got her fresh fruits and snacks. Took my regular route along 2 rivers back home. The daylight hours are getting longer. Ran 14.6 km total at my comfortable slow pace. Felt strong throughout. #running

Went out to the footpath along a local creek and ran 10 km. After spending a whole day in my home office, it was refreshing. As the news podcasts made me depressed, I switched to radio and listened to ”Space Captain" by Tedeschi Trucks Band (a Joe Cocker song). "Learning to live together" #running

Went out to the footpath along a neighborhood creek. Ran 10 km super easy. The river and the park were deserted. The pace was really slow, but I felt good and strong throughout. Today's theme song was Lucinda Williams's "The World's Gone Wrong"

Left home later than usual. I wanted to burn off some calories from the big Thai dinner last night. Went out to the pedestrian walk along a local creek. Ran 10 km super easy in the dark. The easy 10K run won't help. Just lost only 1 kg. It was chilly. I added an extra layer of wind jacket. #running

Couldn't get up early in the morning and missed the Parkrun in the Seaside park. Visited my mother at her nursing home in late afternoon. She was good although she lost the perception of time and seasons due to her dementia. It was a windy day. I felt sluggish/heavy. Ran 14.5 km super slow. #running

A sunset run on the footpath along a a neighborhood creek. Ran 10 km super easy. It was quite chilly outside. I wore ear muffs and thick gloves. Saw several high school kids playing football (soccer) in the park. #running

It's been chilly all day. Went out for a run to the footpath along a neighborhood creek around the sunset. Ran 10 km easy. Met no one during the run except for the cat lady who fed the feral cats in the farm field. Felt good and strong till the end. #running

I haven't had a new year resolution. The Parkrun yesterday made me realized how unfit and over-weight I am. I cannot ignore anymore. I must lose at least 10 lbs (5kg). I need to stop drinking and restrict my diet intake. Also, I need more moderate-to-high intensity workouts. #running #parkrun

The windy weather has gone. We had a calm sunny day. Went out to the footpath along a a neighborhood creek and ran 10 km super easy. The temperature was around 8C, a good condition for an outdoor run, but I met no one but the cat lady. I always feel strong the day after a hard zwifting. #running

The gusting winds kept me from visiting my mother at her nursing home in the last 2days. Today is Coming-of Age Day, a national holiday. The weather was calm and beautiful. Delivered fresh fruits and snacks. Ran 14.5 km to the nursing home and back. Felt good and strong throughout. #running

A sunset run on the footpath along a neighborhood creek. After 3 & 1/2 round trips, I headed to WORKMAN, a local discount workwear/gear shop and got a daypack for riding to Parkruns in Seaside Park 12 km away. It has the special comartments for shoes and a helmet. Ran 10 km super easy. #running

Went out to the bike path along the river just before the sunset. Stopped by at a local postoffice on my way. Ran 13.4 km easy. Felt good and strong. Passed by the several runners from the local corporate Ekiden team. They were really fast and their running forms are efficient. #ruuning

Visited my mother at her nursing home in late afternoon. Exchanged the customary new year greetings with her. She was fine. I met and talked to a nursing staff at the home. He is a trail runner and runs the same local bike path often. I guess I met him before there. Ran 14.7 km in 1:44. #running

Visited SIL in downtown Tokyo and had a new year party yesterday. Ate and drank too much. Needed to burn off some of the excess calories. Went out for a run around the sunset time and ran 10 km super easy on my regular route. Finish it before learning the terrible news and felt helpless. #running

Has been drinking and eating too much since last night. It's warm, sunny day. Could be a perfect for going long. Instead, I went out to the pedestrian walk along a neighborhood creek in late afternoon. Ran 10 km super easy. Happy to be health enough to go for a run on the new year day. #running

Done the last exercise in 2025. Zwifting for 50 min/ 25 km. Reached my goals for bike for Dec. Except I missed the running distance goal in Aug., I did complete both monthly and annual goals for the both - Run = 1800 km (150X12), Bike = 600 km (500 X 12). Have a happy and safe new year! #running

Visited my mother at her nursing home in late afternoon. This is likely to be the last visit in 2025. She was good and had a cup of pudding while I was there. Took the routes along 2 rivers back home. Ran 14.5 km super easy. It was sunny and warm until the sun went down. #running

After taking care of some preparation for the new year, I went out to the footpath along a neighborhood creek and ran 10 km. It was already dark and chilly (4C). I did not run at all in the last 2 days and my legs were fresh. I felt good and strong throught. Still short of my goal by 12km. #running

The wet weather continues. I've only done Zwift in the last 2 days and wanted to get outdoor miles in. Although it was drizzling, I went out for a run to the pedestrian walk along a neighborhood creek after dark. Ran 10 km really slow as the roads were wet and slippy. #running
