New resolution for next 6 months

This is my favorite pastime - Giveroy Sport where one contests in biathlon and long cycle.

On the bottom are just some of the supplementary exercises one can do to help to get better.

I am just happy that I can learn that this sport exists.

It teaches one to look beyond mental and physical pain to be quite in peace with one self.

Resolutions for next 6 months:

Attain a Rank 3 in 24kg Long Cycle - 50 reps

Be able to do a rolling thunder hold of 90 kg

Do 250 kg tyre flips 40 reps non-stop with a tempo

Be a wonderful dad to my 2 boys :)

Hope to attain :)

My journey in 2010


I cant believe been a long while since wrote something....
Need more thoughts to be put down...well I love teaching still....
To those kids who post it on the tagboard...I believe in one principle: If you do good to others, goodness will come to you....though we do good to others repaid by hurtful comments, snide remarks, vulgaraties, still DO GOOD FOR OTHERS.

For eg, the group I am associated with, we are into youth development.

For those who are currently studying in my school, remember this RESPECT is the key to one's life journey. We make mistakes, get reprimands/punishments, reflect on the mistakes done and move on.

Will try to post more.
