30 Dec 2006 RIP jamiepang.com & Happy 2007!

jamiepang.com is no more. Seeing that I’ve left the content dormant for close to a year, there’s no point in incurring cost in maintaining a site that’s not active. It’s demise coincided with my discovery of Blogger and since then the Carboman blog has met my needs for easy and quick publication.
 
Coupled with the various free hosting facilities such as Yahoo photos, Gmail, Blogpoll and some elbow grease in tweaking the Blogger template, I’m as happy as a lark. Besides, I can use the huge unused space accorded to Runnersmalaysia.com.my to store my race reports.
 
I’ve over the months migrated most of my content over to this blog and improved it’s interface. This blog has come some ways and looking back at some of my old postings, it’s been a blast – truly reflective of life’s ups and downs. More ups than downs, which is really a blessing to be cherished. Furthermore this post is beffitingly the 500th posting.  If you ask at which point am I at now, I’d say it’s somewhere in the middle but I’m getting strong vibes that things are just waiting to explode – in a good way, in positive ways.
 
Taking this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and wishing you and your love ones an exciting and healthy 2007.
Here are some of the interesting older postings:

Sometimes to look forward, one has to look at the past. Right, that was a corny line to start with but it’s oftentimes true. My 2006 KL International Marathon results was the culmination of the hard work put in when preparing for the 2005 year-end Singapore Marathon. The KLIM was just one of this year’s highlights.

26 Dec 2006 A Highly Recommended Running Podcast

If you’re one of those who spend some time commuting everyday, chances are you may also be a user of portable MP3 players. However, if you don’t have an iRiver, Yepp, MuVo or iPod, there are still ways to enjoy your tunes on the go. Most mobile phones these days, for example, are also capable of supporting MP3 formats while the car stereo have been supporting MP3 and WMA formats for quite a while.

Besides blogging, podcasts are also very “in” these days. Podcasts are basically voice blogs but because they’re audio, there are much more to what you can do. There are podcasts on humour, news, nothing-in-particulars, sports and more. Some podcasts are quite basic with the podcaster narrating, while some are very creatively produced, complete with background fillers, guest contributors, music and special effects, just like a radio program.

Unlike many running related blogs out there, there aren’t many running related podcasts. But there’s one which is a gem and it’s the Phedippidations Podcast. Located at www.steverunner.com, the weekly 1-hour podcasts is hosted by Steve (who else?), a marathoner in his 40s who is pursuing a sub-4 marathon. I can relate to Steve in many ways – a similar marathon goal being just one of it. So do check out his website and download the podcasts. The older podcasts are in the Archive section and I highly recommend the Why We Run? chapter.

The great man was contented to just sit behind Aussie elite Craig Mottram until the final stretch where he just so easily passed the leader. Check out the leg turnover of the shorter man!

All the awkward head-bobbing, hopping and forefoot running don’t prevent the women’s world record holder of the marathon, Paula Radcliffe from winning the 2002 London Marathon.
