To the woman who will go on fancy dinners with me and then punk me on Mario Kart, who goes on silly runs together just because I asked and then be more than happy to sit in a room together doing nothing watching the day goes by. Happy second anniversary, I love you

@emilycharlotteward often say that food is my ultimate love language. So then being able to bring Emily along and break bread (rice) with my family despite living 7000 miles apart is a blessing and the ultimate expression of love. Already looking forward to the next time. Ta ta for now. 千里之外能夠一齊同臺食飯都真係非常幸福.

Last post about leaving Norwich - promise. So many people made Norwich a home for me. Colleagues, friends, mentors, teachers - many of whom I consider family. Obviously I couldn’t film all of you, but if you’ve been a part of my life over the last 10 years, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. 🎵: The Robin (from How I Met Your Mother)

Bristol 10k - third time running it! 🏃‍♂️ Got there early enough for the half marathon waves and tried my hand at some in-motion photos of the half marathoners… not easy! No PBs but not losing any time while recovering from my marathon (still 💀) and not running between that and this so I am pretty chuffed with it. Being able-body to run and to run in these events and then seeing friends and fellow humans achieve things they’ve worked hard to achieve is such a privilege and I never want to take being able to run for granted 🙌 (Thanks @paigeeosborne for letting me join you on your wave and apologies for leaving you 🤪) On to the next one! #bristol #bristol10k #bristolhalfmarathon #bristolrunners

(Okay last marathon post) Growing up in Singapore there is this thing called a NAPFA test, it’s a 5 item standardised fitness test for all school-going children, within it is a run element where you’d have to run 1.6-2.4km run and, as a chubby, un-athletic, last-to-be-picked-at-a-recess-basketball/football-game kid, it was the thing I’ve always dreaded growing up because it was always Three years ago at my health assessment I was told I was obese, borderline high-blood pressure and pre-diabetic. So I picked up a pair of running shoes and I could barely run-walk 3km. When my friends told me if I wanted to join them in running a 10k/HM with them I scoffed at the idea that it’s even possible for me to run 10 kilometres. And here I am, having finished a full fat 26.2miles/42.2km marathon. So this is to the version of me and you who didn’t think things were possible. Thank you Jesus, thank you to everyone who never allowed me to beat myself over anything. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” - Philippians 4:13. #Marathon #MarathonFinisher

So many thoughts and feelings and people to thank. The running went swimmingly according to plan up till about 38km and everything blew up; complete loss of any energy, I couldn’t walk straight, nauseousness. Panic set in but God answered my prayers and placed me right next to a Tesco express. Stumbled in and just about managed to buy a bottle of full fat coke and that seemed to have done the trick. The rest of the way was a battle between my mind, my body and spirit and ultimately crossed the line slightly short of my goal times but honestly, who cares, this was an experience unlike any other (yet). So many people to thank. Jesus, all glory goes to Him. Honestly there were several moments were it not for prayers, this may have been a DNF. @_emilyward for once again giving me the time and space to train for this and following me all the way up to Manchester and travelling right across Manchester to support me during the race and to take these photos. I love you. Every single one of you, acquaintances, friends, family honestly too many to name, who prayed for me, tracked me and texted me before, during and after the race. Reading every text that popped up on my watch while going through it honestly meant so much and added just that bit more fuel that I needed when I had to dig deep. @lucy_llloyd , my unexpected marathon companion, nice to not have to start a race like this on my own, and to have a prayer moment before we started. That was one of a kind, so thank you. (Hope work goes well today 😂) One last special shout out to @billyhordle - for shaming me on my aborted long runs during the dog days of the training which actually motivate me to go on my long runs. I know they were jokes, but it got me going. Thank you. Wow. I’m a marathon finisher babyyyyyy 🙌 #manchestermarathon

I am running my first ever marathon tomorrow - am I cooked? Or will I be cooking? Pray for me. 😂 Full thoughts video in the link in my bio

Only a few days away from my marathon, and while I am not doing a personal charitable fundraiser myself, I’d love to tell you about several fundraisers that my friends are currently doing while participating in various events themselves. They are all very worthy causes so if you have the capacity, please give towards them! @leanneymoo for @myelomauk at the Newport 10k, @bare_pictures and his mum Joanna for @norwichcitycsf at the Chase The Sun 47 mile hike and @helenlovesvacay for @bathcdh at the Bristol 10k. Links to the fundraisers and the full video in my bio!

Did you sign up to a running plan and it’s now asking you to go on a “long run”? Borrowing a quote from an old boss, “what does that mean?” - I tried exploring and demystifying the dreaded long run… 🏃‍♂️ And as usual, please like/comment/subscribe if you’ve found it interesting - Link in the bio!

A little bit of CNY here and there in London 🧧

10 days ago I raced the Cardiff Winter Warmer 10k with my friends Jake and Emily, in what was supposed to be a little support race in my marathon training block turned into a little bit of a “wheels falling off the wagon” scenario… A little race review and what’s next in my YouTube if you’re interested..!
