Early Morning Run – Hong Kong TaiPo

Hong Kong is my second home after Singapore. I lived in Hong Kong for many years,  but this week whilst visiting here for the long weekend, I attempted my first run yesterday.

I started early at 7am to avoid the heat – and I am glad I did because yesterday was the hottest day ever in recorded history in Hong Kong.

I ran the Taipo waterfront along the Tolo highway toward Taiwai. There is a running/cycle track all the way so it is a flat surface.

The whole route is along side the waterfront/river which offers amazing views and refreshing breeze.

The route is very very popular with cyclist over the weekend and there are several bike hire stations. Most popular is to hire at either TaiPo or Taiwai, and to return the bike at the opposite station – about 20km away.

I only ran a small stretch from Taipo to University (both connected by MTR trains). I only managed 4km before the heat sapped all my energy.  But I will be back again later this week.

I am on a personal mission. My Goal is simple : To be a Better Me ! To beat my personal best. This is now my life philosophy and way of life. It relates to everything I do. In my daily life, every day, I want to be constantly improving. As the saying goes, "If you are not improving, you are getting worse". I want a better me in my Spiritual, my Social, my Mental and my Physical. And Physical improvement is why I am here. To be Fitter, Stronger, Faster. So I fun lah !!! As recently as 2011, my doctor told me I was obese standing at 5ft9inch tall and weighing in at 210lbs. Exercise and good food as part of a healthy lifestyle has seen me lose weight, slim down, and muscle up. I am now about fit and healthy 165lbs My fittest and strongest ever. But tomorrow I will be fitter and even stronger. Over the past couple of weeks, I started running - for the first time ever. My first run was 2.17km in 15mins. Sure, you might think that is very slow. But I don't care, it was My Personal Best and I will beat it, improve on it, become faster, run for longer and will become a better me
