The runner is running a lot of stuffs lately...

Its been a long, long, long, long time since I did this.  You know it, I haven't been running like I used to.  There were a lot that happened, some beyond my control like the weather, work, events and injuries.  There were also those that I chose to do other than to run - you know like cycling that I started doing around 2015.  And that's what I'm about to share with you so you don't fall into these amazing traps!


OFF-ROAD RC - This the 1/8 scale Nitro Buggy from HB Racing.  I started this last May of 2017, although I first dreamed about it early March that year.  I started with the E-buggy, but play time is little and as with everyone else, shifted to Nitro.  This ate my weekend long run schedule as playing takes a whole day to consider weekend traffic.  This takes up a lot of time!

DRONE - This is the DJI Spark.  I started this November, 2017 and sort of my birthday gadget.  Its an expansion of my  RC  hobby and also I used to love playing with that small, ToysRUs RC heli sometime back 2011 so having a drone was inevitable.  Flight time is little, but almost the same time as doing my short 5k runs.


E-PED - This is the Mijia M365 which is the latest of my toys.  I first saw and fell in love with a scooter when I saw one in action in SG.  Its a kick-scooter that I almost bought when I was there.  2018 I started to see e-scooters in Gearbest and eventually found Xiaomi.  I love riding this electric scooter!  This makes hunting dinosaurs and finding those treasure maps easy (#JWA) and makes a walk in a park a breeze. None cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts are currently "in" the e-ped bandwagon.  I'm seeing this to die down as with all other trends especially when the authorities start to regulate them.

For the past weeks I have been limited to doing treadmill runs.  This is my way of eliminating excuses from the weather or from the weariness coming off work (also because I get to watch Netflix while doing it!)  But yesterday I decided to go out on the road and I found it boring.  But as they say, it takes 21 days (in this case - times) to develop a habit.  I am hoping it will develop into one again, soon.

See you on the road!
