Seize the day!

this shoe review is for mizuno wave maverick iv
shoe tester profile :-
about 5 feet 4
weight : 132 lbs
feet type : neutral to slight over pronation
10km time : about 60 minutes
also tried the previous generation maverick

shoe specs:
midsole - vs1
heel - x10
upper - airmesh
lateral side - rubber composite fan shape
medial side - fan shape (made from pebax - plastic)

well firstly, the maverick iv looks good

shoe has sufficient cushioning
eventhough the sole feels thinner

shoe feels responsive
feels like it is easier to run faster

the overall shoe width feels narrower
providing a tighter grip around the feet

final thoughts
is this shoe recommended : yes

no running since thursday due to left knee pain

shortly after we reached one utama
we when to kluang station to have breakfast
while my wife ordered and waited for the food
i kept my 2 sons busy by taking them to the rainforest
jaden & bryan as usual were running around
an indonesian lady worker knock down jaden when she was about to park her bike near the rainforest!
luckily she was going very slowly as she was about to park her bike
and luckily the way jaden fell he was only bruised on the elbow

after visiting a few toy shops we were at mph bookstore
my wife hid her hphone under the pram in a bag
we were both keeping at eye on our 2 sons
suddenly i noticed this malay chap taking the hphone!
before i could say wtf!
he started running
i chased him down shouting curi & hoi
he put down the hphone and continued his escape
i picked up the hphone & continued the chase
he ran into the corridor that leads to the lift
it was quiet, no one around, suddenly i was worried/scared
he is bigger size than me & he may be carrying weapons hidden in his track suit
i slowed down & finally return back to check on my family

later that evening, bryan my elder son started vomitting
he vomitted 4 times
we took him to the doc
by then he said that he was not feeling anymore stomach pains
doc said everything was ok and suspected that it could be "wind in stomach" due to nasi lemak breakfast
we bought the necessary medicine just in case but in the end none was required

so, afer all the "bad" things that happened
luckily at the end of the day everything was alright!

did 8 laps last monday

nov 01, tuesday
bryan's birthday
he is 5
he was having fever/throat infection and mouth ulcers
it was very painful for him and also for mom and dad
if u feel that having a mouth ulcer is painful
imagine having more than 10
yes bryan had at least 10 ulcers
its a virus thingy the doc said
most probably contracted from school friends
the good news is he is ok now

my friend recently burn a mp3 disc for me
its got like 111 songs
a good mix, from barney songs, pop, rock, etc
funny thing is
when i asked which song he liked
he said "this one" referring to bon jovi's 'in these arms'
and for the last 2 days he is singing the song!
he does not know the actual words
he just sings along
