Running with office colleagues The Hot Runners

Morning went for full medical health check-up together with wife at Mt.Alvernia hospital. Massive traffic jam and reach the hospital 1.5 hours late ! Did a treadmill test, piece of cake as I have been training to run for a half marathon. 8 years ago when I did the treadmill health check for the first time, it was so tiring at that time and felt nausea. Well, that's the benefit for running regularly and makes you fit and healthy.
Went running today with HT, Cecilia and YowSeng (1st time joining us) near office area. Did close to 5km run. My right knee pain again... still have not been running correctly. Will continue to fine tune running method. It was great to meet YowSeng one of our colleagues and running enthusiasts that we have never met before.
He has a Nike branded heart rate, distant and speed monitoring device, bought from eBay. Looks better than the Garmin one that I have orderd and will arrive Singapore this Saturday morning. Wish I have seen his Nike device earlier.
YowSeng , a serious runner and have run in half marathon before and is ready to do a full marathon next. He has map out a 10km running route near office area. Will plot it out and share on the website. He has also consulted running doctor on how to run better and how to fix the heel pain that he used to have. He has tried "Chi" running method before and have a DVD and Book on "Chi" running.
HT and myself have a book and DVD on "Pose method of running" on loan from Pete L, a colleague in BJ. He has been very generous and unselfishly sharing with us his Pose method of running.
