k r i s a n d r o

I had a great week of marathon training last week, hitting 30.13km of total mileage and meeting all my training goals except for a very disappointing Tempo run yesterday. I could blame it on the weather, the lack of breakfast, or the absence of babes on the jogging track that day but it’s probably all due to my bad planning and unrealistic pace for the run.

Setbacks like that are very good for my analysis and besides, the rest for the 26km ran that week was better than what I have expected.

It’s now week 7 of my marathon training with 25 weeks remaining to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 and although my margins for improvement are starting to get smaller, it is still quite apparent that I am getting faster and longer. Faster in terms of pace and longer in terms of distance of course. You peeps don’t get dirty now.

Besides the improvement of my resting heart rate from 66bpm (beats per minute) to the current 60bpm, I can see from the logs of my Long runs that even though my pace and distance has increased, the effort perceived by my heart rate has actually lessened!

It’s quite exciting and interesting to see my body improving and adapting to my exercise regime and that makes me look forward to the next run as I can predict and plan my pace much more easily than just running by pure feel and intuition. So I highly suggest that everyone who is training to collect as much statistics as you can about your runs. At the very least, invest in a watch that has a lap function. And I believe the same applies to training for any sport as well with reference to collection of statistics.

Grab your shoes and a watch and head out to run peeps! Feel alive!

I was looking at my web statistics at statcounter.com when I noticed a spike in my traffic.

Usually, my unique hits per day will hover around 100 and slightly around 150 if I blog on that day. So, I found it weird that there was a spike when all I did was blog about Dragonball. I don’t think i’ll get that much pongs from ping.sg or get featured on tomorrow.sg just because i talked about Bulma flashing her pom pom.

So, I went to check on where the traffic came from, and I found this.

HARDWAREZONE FORUMS? Why the hell would a link appear at hardwarezone which will lead to me?

I then followed the link to find out that there is a guy/hippo that blatantly copied and pasted my whole entry in a new thread about the one of me being molested. He even bothered to keep the formating i originally used.

This is the hippo that plagiarized my work

I then searched around for the link that led to my original work. Couldn’t find any till I saw this ‘clue’ that the hippo left behind.

.

After looking at the 1st post in the thread again… this is where he ‘credited’ me.

.

Luckily, the people at hardwarezone are clever enough to question if it was the hippo’s original work and clever enough to find that “smily gotch secret and peekture…”

I dug out my old hardwarezone password and commented on the thread. I wasn’t angry at all after i found out he linked me up, however in such a weird manner. But, a superhero appeared and told him off.

(Acts gay) Wah…. Wendy, my hero!
