Little update

I have been somewhat running/biking and mildly swimming.

I got all my essential backpacking gears ready. I might need to get stuff like map, compass and the rest depending on how serious I want to get into that activity.

I hiked for 8 miles last Sat with Yk and it was fun. I would like to do it again. I like the feeling of being one with nature and be outside of the noisy and crowded city. I am planning on backpacking for a couple of days in 2 weeks with Yk on Thur/Fri and then camp/bike/backpack with Mikela on Sunday/Monday (on the week end othe the 22nd). Then my best friend is coming from France on the 28th and I will visit portland with her. She is fond of hiking/backpacking so we will do that on a regular basis... =P

Friday is the "deadline" for the marathon, so I think it is time for me to register and become more serious about my training. A couple weeks ago, I did a 10 miles in less than 8 min/mile pace and yesterday, I did a good >53 min for a 7:34mile run. It was good and I was running fast.

My goal is to run the marathon in less than 8 min/pace which is possible but very challenging.... It should place me in the top 500 for the Men's cat and in the top 50 in the M 20-24.

Hopefully, the summer of next year I can tackle both the Portland tri and marathon ^^
