16.17 km run on 29 Nov 2015

Started the run at 5:31am this morning, the plan was to run 20km in under 2 hours. It started to rain about 3km into the run, decided to turn back at about 5.29km, nearing Buangkok green. After it started to rain, decided to just clocked as close to 20km as possible. In the end, I only completed 16.17km in 1 hour 41minutes 41 seconds. The last long run before the 6 Dec 2015 Singapore SCB marathon. 

27km run on 22 Nov 2015

Completed 27.06 km in 2 hours 54mininutes 46 seconds according to my Garmin 620 watch. It was a slow run but it served its purpose, that is to train my body to accustomise to running long distances. It boast my confident that I am able to successfully run long distances at about 6:30 per km pace. 

2 Hour Run on 15 Nov 2015 Sunday

Today, I struggled to finish a 2 hour run, covered 19.15km. 20 days to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon on the 6 Dec 2015. Not much time left to run much, I am going to try to build up my core muscle group a little the next 2 weeks. Hopefully, this will help me to complete the last 10km a little faster. I am going to try to maintain a very positive mindset throughout the whole run. I am hoping to dip under the 4 hour 30 min mark.

Are the rich born in the right place at the right time? Are the poor victims of a system designed to keep them down?

This is the content of the program I just watched on Discovery Science-Through the wormhole with Morgan Freeman-S5 Ep8. The answer to the first question would be likely yes, you need to be in the right environment to make it rich. The answer for the second question would be no, no system is designed to keep people down. Its how parents bring up their children, the parents own level of education, the government policies and the environment they live in. In our modern world, the government play a major role in our societies. Their plan for the country in area of social policy, education and the economy will affect how people live their life. Of course, the quality of the people in power, will definitely affect the outcome of the country. If a corrupted government is in power, its people will suffer. Should the UN intervene with a military expedition and forcing a democratic election in such a extreme case ? Ultimately, it boils down to the mind set of people in genera...

The Future of Human

The one factor that will determine our future is technology. What is technology ? Technology is the skill that we develop that will help us do things more efficiently through the tools that we develop. It can save us and can also destroy us. We need to at the same time tame the animal in us, the greed that we harbour, the power that we crave, our self-centre nature. Human only think about themselves and never really think about how we change our environment through our actions. We are all physically the same but the different races cannot see eye to eye and are always trying to control others. We really need to think hard about how we are affected by our mind. Everyone has a brain but how we develop our thinking will determine how we live and our future. We are at a point where we can destroy ourselves and our planet a few times over, but sadly we are still trying to cheat each other and kill each other because of different mind set. Why do we need to have power to control o...

24 km run on 8 Nov 2015

Started out on my run late this morning at 6.34 am, wanted very much to start around 6am to avoid the heat as much as possible. I completed the first 10km in less than 1 hour 2 min but the subsequent 10km was much slower, I completed only 18.73km in 2 hours. In total, I completed 24.32km in 2hour 37min. I think its very important to be positive and confident about your body ability, it will definitely help you to run better. Keep reminding yourself that you want to run well and you are definitely able to run well at a good pace. But remember to practice good hydration and nutrition during your run as well to provide the energy that your body needs.

3 Hour 2 Min 57 Sec Run
