I aim to run the Sundown Marathon in May 2009, how about you?

I have been running (All tracked by Nikeplus Sportsband)

I have been running! Ran a total of 20.65km since I started to join california fitness gym.
Latest run was 4.13km. I know, i know, it is no big deal to most of the runners out there.

Well, as long as I am seeing improvement on my distance, I am happy and will continue to press on to run further. And I had set my goal that I want to run Singapore Marathon next year!
I will be prepared!

Latest run - 4.13km!

Tracking all my previous run. The graph is moving upwards! (click to view larger version for clearer date, lol)

Monopoly (Proprietary) of Technology... AVCHD.

Shot videos using Panasonic HDC-HS 100 HD video camera. Quite happy with the quality and able to view it crystal clear on LCD TV. (Mine is just a HD Ready, 1080p TV).

All good until I wanted to share the video with my friend using a DVD Burner from Panasonic - VW-BN1 DVD Burner. Well, it only accepts DVD-R, it is a minus DVD, NO plus +DVD.
This is still ok. Not an issue yet.

Then I did manage to burn the video to the DVD and when I try to play on DVD player, it says:
"Format not recognized. Unable to play video."

Why? It is due the proprietary format - .bdmv format video! From what I found from the internet, only Blue Ray DVD player and PS3 are able to play it. Not even on computers.
This is really frustrating. Why this occur? The 2 big boys - Sony and Panasonic who signed the memorandum to hold on to this technology introduced it into their products.
This has caused alot of inconvenience for video sharing. What is the point of burning the DVD when your friends can't view it?

I have no choice but to do it the old fashion way, to copy to my laptop and convert it again.

My personal exercise program at California Fitness

Started my personal exercise program last Friday! woo hoo...

Went to the gym at 1pm and leave around 2pm.

Did 20 minutes run for 3km (kinda slow, i know) to build up my stamina and strength after a long or never exercise past months.

Then went upstairs for machines, did 3 types of exercise that build up the back muscle. 15 times for each machines and did 3 sets only(ya, i know it is so little) to build my strength.

Haha.. seems like i keep mentioning about building up strength, anyway, it is true, push too hard will not help.

Hmmm... how much did I pay monthly? Got the offer from a roadshow, pay monthly $68 + 7% GST by installment for Gold member(Can only use 1 gym's facilities). Pretty ok la... since decided to use the gym 3 times a week.
3 times x 4 weeks = 12 times, about $6 per session. Quite worth it.
