2011年渥太華週末競跑:半馬拉松比賽前一天的通知 / Ottawa Race Weekend 2011: A day's notice to run a Half Marathon



Because of my Mom's hospitalization and my busy schedule since mid-December 2010, I had not been training for any long-distance runs and intentionally missed the registration for any of the 2011 Ottawa Race Weekend events. On hearing that I would miss participating in the local race for the first time since May 2003, K told me to keep it cool and don't get all depressed.

Admittedly, I was moping and sulking.

So on Friday, when Christine told me her friend D had low iron deficiency and was looking for someone to take her spot to run the half-marathon on Sunday, I jumped at the opportunity. K was happy to hear the news and even offered to go do some cheering on the street !!

It is going to be a challenge to run a half-marathon with only abt a day's notice.

RUN RUN RUN !!!

Space 寫來的打油詩 (續集)

上次寫的打油詩,今次要改改勒!

哈利哥跑馬拉松
今次未暇操練中
突然後補去跑步
看來絕對唔輕鬆

哈利哥跑馬拉松
開步槍聲人頭擁
有老有少齊跑步
上高落低無亂籠

哈利哥跑馬拉松
初春沿途輕風送
不及去年腳頭勁
未經操練不輕鬆

哈利哥跑馬拉松
良朋知己喜相逢
祇重參與唔包尾
談笑用兵不論功

哈利哥跑馬拉松
雖然沒需要驚恐
加埋阿K去打氣
希望不會冇影踪

哈利哥跑馬拉松
輕舒腳筋不覺重
跑步完畢返屋企
坐下食隻五月糉

我寫了以下四句回敬:

千里鵝毛電網收
加油鼓氣精神抖
馬拉松後端午節
掛屐裹糉競龍舟
