The Infinite World

Started my run late at about 8.26 pm, no particular expectation but I know it had to be short as I will be running more on Sunday. Run easy, 1st km reached in 5:48, continue to run relaxingly and it turned out to be a good run. Felt good throughout the run, so I just try to push my body to go on without feeling tense. In the end, I completed the 12km in 1 hour 6min 7sec, averaging 5:30 per km.  One of my better run lately, one that I felt satisfied!

Further to my much earlier post of the movie "Lucy" , though it might be some what exggerated in their portrayer of the brains' ability, we are definitely capable of much more. Human are often distracted by useless thoughts and wasted too much time indulging in meaningless activities. We will definitely achieve much more if are mentally stronger and be more focus on doing the right thing to improve our overall level of knowledge and evolve into a truly rational thinking living organism. 

Modern large warships of today lack short range weapons for self protection and close range engagement. Take a look at the armaments available today on aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ship , supply or support ship, most are small calibre guns which do not offer any real assault ability. Once these big ships are isolated from their other better arms ships in their naval task force, they are sitting duck ! Even modern destroyers or frigates suffer from the same fate. If any one have a few portable anti tank missile launchers would be able to take out a big destroyer. If you try to count how many guns a big US Navy destroyer has, it will not exceed 5. Probably a 5 inch main gun, 2 Phalanx CIWS and a few 20-25mm cannon. If a few laser guided or GPS guided short range missiles are available it would make a big difference!  A few would mean 20 or more missiles to defend the ships or engage close range attackers. Put in a few rapid firing mini guns at strategic position would e...

Completed the 3rd ECP Ford Road Carpark to NSRCC run on Sunday morning, 18 Jan 2015. Completed the run in 1 hour 56min 28sec, the fastest run for this stretch in my recent history. Reached the half way point in 1 hour 10sec and the second half in 56 min 18sec. Not exactly fast by any standard, just have to work harder to run faster. 

Went for a short run at the stadium this evening, 6 laps around the track. The distance is 2.4 km, completed in 11min00.319sec. The breakdown as follow: 1:53.964 1:56.152 1:51.700 1:52.774 1:48.925 1:36.804 Not a fast time and completed quite smoothly, could have push myself to run much faster.

Our so called modern world are plagued with so much problems, almost all self inflicted. Why this statement ? The answer is we cannot think and act independently plus rationally. We know what is good for ourselves and for our environment, but we are always influence by our evil self to act and do things that are not in line for a good purpose. We need to control our mind and think and act to the benefit of ourselves and our fellow beings and environment. We need to overcome our greed, our thirst for power to control others, our greed for more physical assets and many more unwanted desires. Human beings are always selfish in nature and greedy, we need to control such evil thoughts  (countless) and act in the correct way to ensure our kind survive.

Today is the 13th day of 2015, I am looking to run better this year. I am off to a slow start, only completed 3 run to date. The 1st run was a 5km run at the stadium in 24min25sec on 3 Jan 2015. The next run of 2015 was at East Coast Park, covered 19.4 km in 2hr11min3sec on 4 Jan 2015. It was a slow run, only the last 3 to 4 km was run at less than 5min per km pace. The 3rd run was also at East Coast Park on 11 Jan 2015, Sunday, in a time 2hr2min21sec. The 1st 9.7km was completed in 63min22sec and the second 9.7km in 59min. Only the last km was completed in less than 5min per km pace, average pace was 6:17 per km. I can see improvement in my ability to run a much faster 2nd half of a run, I able to run with more confident even towards the end of a run. I am able to accelerate and run at a faster pace despite already covered 17-18 km. I will need to cover more distance and make an effort to build up my core muscle strength, in order to really run faster this year.
