Latest run of 10.6km on 29 Mar 2014 Saturday

Did a 10.6km run on 29 Mar 2014, Saturday in 1 hour 4min 59sec. I have not been running much lately, very apprehensive of how far and fast I can run. I started the run late at about 8.45am, the weather was hot, it bother me quite badly, perspire too much to keep the body cool.

My next step to running faster

I think my training plan lack run at faster pace for a prolong period of time. I need to get out there and run 25km at pace faster than 6min per km. I am always apprehensive of running faster as I am afraid I cannot finish my target distance. I will have to try running faster this weekend, I am quite annoy that I have not been improving my running time much at all. But one consolation, after running the 2XU marathon is that I get more confident now, as I seems to like the process of pushing the body and mind beyond my perceive limit. I want to try pushing myself more and see improvement along the way. 

6 km run on 16 Mar 2014 Sunday

It has been raining all day, did a 6km run at the gym in 29min32sec. I consider this good run for me as I am in bad shape. 

10.23km run on 15 Mar 2014 Saturday

Did a afternoon run at 2.30pm, 10.23km in 1hr1min40sec. The heat really was just too much, had to put in a lot of effort to fight the heat and kept telling myself not to stop. 

Target for the 7 Dec 2014 Standard Chartered Marathon

My aim is to do a sub 4 hour marathon on 7 Dec 2014, Sunday in Singapore. Will need to do a minimum of five 35km run 1 week before race day. Need to keep my weight to 61kg to be efficient in my running. Will have to be really descipline to achieve my target time. I am hoping to do the Army half marathon in about 1hr 45min.

There must be another world

There must be another world out there, or else Human would be the most intelligent being in the whole Universe. If there is a creator, surely something better can be created. Human are just so primitive, it will takes time for them to evolve further!

Greed and ambition hinder technological progress

Greed make people make use of technology to make money and limit it's use. Ambition make people make use of technology to do bad things or to create warfare. All men are born good but they learn to do bad things when they grow up. As all human are born with different capability, perhaps the more capable should help the less capable. People should be taught to not depend on material goods too much. Life can still be as meaningful without material goods !

Funding Space Exploration

The money the world spent on military could fund for space exploration, part of it would be sufficient. Imagine the progress we could have made since 1969 ! A human could have reached Mars and returned with the invaluable experience and along with all the hardware for deep space exploration. The day will come when you can hire a taxi to a destination near earth on daily basis !

2XU Marathon Singapore 2014

Completed the 42.195 km run in 5 hr 19min 5sec. The run started at 4am, I think probably 2000 runners took part. I did not plan to run this race, but an opportunity came around quite near the race. Run normally for the 1st 10km, clocked 1hr3min plus,  maintained a good pace, reached 21 km in 2hr12min. My body became cracked up a little as usual after 23km, reached 30km in 3hr 22min. Cleared Ford road just after 4hours, reached 35 km in 4hr2min plus. But after this walked almost all the way till the end. Quite a good run till the 35km, but was a hell of run from there till the end.
