This week has been a good week for me. I started the week cautiously, with the hope of not aggravating my ITB. So I chose to mountain-bike, as it helped to strengthen the quads for running. It has been awfully long since i last mountain-biked (back in IMU days when i used to cycle to school everyday). I also remembered riding mountain bike down some steep rugged hills in Chiangmai, Thailand with J boy and Anke, and screaming our lungs out as the bikes kinda lost control and went swirling down hills. Those vivid moments of thrill and adrenalin release returned to me almost immediately when i hit the trail this time. A few times I almost fell off the bike and did a 360 degree somersault with it. Phew.. The price you pay for adventure.

Now i am getting into a hang of running up and down mountain and doing some trail running everyday. Hopefully i can sustain this level of activity. One thing i really hope to do is to wake up earlier so i can hit the trails in the wee hours of dawn to awaken my spirit, and then to spend some time praying and being with Jesus in the mountain as well before i head to work. 

Finally, some photos for the highlights of the week. :)
