London to Paris (part 1)

Brussels Express: Bike Messengers

AHM 2013

was in 2 minds over this but..at just 12 bucks??

it’s a no brainer… with the freebie and the 2XU shirt….

on the other hand, back is hurting again after the 6km run…damn!

Teck Whye Loop

did the above loop today – 6km+ 58min

i enjoyed the run, especially the undulation, the steepest of all is after the exit from TeckWhye onto Bukit Batok Rd.

also quite surprised at how much easier i felt, after the gasps 2 runs ago – i guess endurance running sticks in you a lil, i am glad to see the lungs coming back. Running is actually a very nice thing to do, i am feeling really relaxed and muscles are nice and loose now – but it comes with a body that is free of trouble – my back isn’t giving me problems, neither are the knees/plate of the foot.

i hope i can run forever…

run

been >1w without the run. i was feeling the buildup of tension from all the what-nots of the market so needed a release.

usual cck loop – 48min. i seem to get the sweat rash quite frequently on my face…irritating…

hot and rain

it was extremely hot yday – even at night the whole room was hot and the floor (despite being marble tiled) was also very hot – had very lil undisturbed sleep the whole night. Now it is blissfully raining and hopefully it cools everything down.

i had a revelation yday – life nowadays now that i am self-employed is so much better – i bet i spoke more to the mum in the past 6mths than what i did for the past few years…

*******************************

Here’s a neat way to download stock data from Yahoo, perhaps into a spreadsheet (so you can play with the data):

http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s= a BUNCH of STOCK SYMBOLS separated by “+” &f=a bunch of special tags

for example: http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=XOM+BBDb.TO+JNJ+MSFT&f=snd1l1yr

where some special tags are (thanks to Mike):
