Two Frustrations

I am back in Malaysia. Now straight to this post's title.

Frustration #1 :
I ran yesterday in Klang stadium. I did 400m x 7 and 5 laps of of walking - no knee problems but I am certainly far from cured. I walked with two "retired" runners. Runner No 1 : Mr *** whom I haven't seen for one year. It turns out he has an Achilles tendon injury. In his words "It is now wrecked" (hancur in Malay language). He can no longer run and now has to walk. Runner #2 : Has stopped running since 2005 due to foot injury (bottom).

Runner #3 : Has stopped running races since Feb. 2006. Ocassionally able to run short distances up to 5km. Missed yesterday's Great Eastern 30km. That runner is me.

Frustation #2 :
My home Internet connection has been down for five weeks. The DSL line is working fine but the PC is not detecting the IP address. I have even installed a new Ethernet card. The Telekoms Malaysia tech. guy has tried three times but without success. What's up ?
