The Infinite World

Took a different route on 22 Aug 2014, Friday, it's about 3.7km per lap near where I live. The route has a long slight downhill on one side and a steep uphill on another side of the route. I planned for it to be slow but some how I did run faster with each lap, completed the 16.03km run in 1 hour 47min 57sec. It's a slow run but overall a good run, I was able to relax and just run easy. 

Did another 10km run at the stadium yesterday evening, 25 laps, in 52min15sec. Although I did not improve on the run last Wednesday of 52min10sec, this was a easier run as I felt much better during the run. I felt my stride to be smoother and my breathing much more compose, should have tried to push myself a bit harder. I guessed it might be due to my lighter body weight due to more running for the week and slight improvement I core body strength due to more sit up and better stretching. Happy to see the slight improvement and hope to build on it.

Completed 25 laps, 10km at the stadium this evening, in a time of 52min10.021sec. Averaging 5:13 per km, per lap time is 2:05.2. Physically, not in the best of form and also felt weak around the 6km mark. It was a difficult run for me, I think my legs can carry through a good 51min run, but need to work on my nutrition need.

Did a 3 km run at the stadium in 14min24.276sec. Split for the 7.5laps : 2:00.010, 1:58.874, 1:55.856,   1:56.083, 1:58.377, 1:58.497, 1:49.658, 46.921. Averaging 4:48 per km, not fast but I will try to improve more in the coming days !

Ran 4km at nearby stadium this evening, clocked 19min35.426sec, averaging 4:54 per km. Split as follow: 2:06.247, 2:00.939, 1:59.526, 1:58.438, 1:58.507, 1:58.270, 1:57.773, 1:58.538, 1:55.696, 1:40.492. Not a fast time, but I am making some progress. I am trying to test if I can maintain a per lap (400m) time of less than 2min and hold it for as many laps as possible. 

People in Singapore just need to remember one very basic rule, "do not throw anything on the ground when you step out of your own house" ! If do not do throw litter on the floor at home, do not do this when you get out of your own house as well ! If everyone can learn this basic rule, we will really be a very clean city !

Just finished a 2.4km run, 6 laps at the nearby stadium about 25min ago. Clocked 11min26.797sec, split time: 1:58.251, 1:58.018,1:57.506, 1:58.246, 1:55.953, 1:38.823. Not fast at all, but some improvement. just need to keep pushing my body to do more. A very controlled run today, could have run faster, body feels good today.

Why is there so many conflicts on our little planet Earth ? Human beings are supposed to be the most intelligent living being on this planet but we spend so much time and effort trying to kill each other. There is some differences in the way we look, skin colour and the way we carry out our daily life, but otherwise, we all need air, food, warm and a roof over our head to survive. We will be an advance living being, once we can stop being greedy and stop killing each other. Imagine the amount of money we can save from building weapons of destruction.

Ran 6 laps at the stadium this morning, 2.4km in 12min26.551sec. Just so lazy but still need to put in effort to run whatever distance I can managed. Ran the laps in 2:20, 2:14, 2:09, 2:06, 2:00, 1:35. Went out late this morning, started run only at 8am, too late and the hot sun was blazing.

Completed 25laps at the stadium today, 10km in 53min13.588sec. Although not a fast time, I am quite happy with the run, as I was able to run faster towards the end. I can feel my breathing was getting quite difficult as I tried my best to run faster towards the last 3km but I discovered that my legs was actually ok to my surprise. I was running quite smoothly and could have run faster if my breathing could be improved. 

Covered 12.09km in 1hr13min, average about 6min2.28sec, still very slow. I think mileage is quite important for me, as my body is still not use to running long distances. Need to be more patience and clock more mileage.
