11.5km run on 30 July 2016 Saturday morning

Just finished a 11.5km run this morning in 1 hour 15min28sec. Started the run late at 8.50am, luckily the weather was not too hot. Trying hard to up my mileage now, 4 months to the SCB marathon on 4 Dec 2016!

Space X 7th launch of 2016

Yes, Spacex achieved its 7th launch of 2016 today, just 45min past midnight on 18 July 2016. And a successful landing of its first stage on land.  I think SpaceX equalised its most launches in a year, so the next launch will be a record breaking feat! 

A United Earth Government, One Currency ?

We have seen this concept in friction story, cartoon, movie, is this our ultimate end ? I think earth should move towards a single entity, too much resources are wasted to fight and dominate each other. The amount of money wasted on weapon could have been used to feed the entire earth population. Even in the commercial space such as ,IT and financial services, the precaution taken by companies against fraudsters, hackers, is a heavy burden that is unnecessary. Greed and authority are 2 big bad traits of human, they are always fighting over such matters! Maybe it will take another thousand years of fighting to learn from their mistakes. Just like in the movies, "human is a primitive race, they will take time to learn"!

19.35km run on 9 July 2016 Saturday

I covered a distance of 19.35km this morning in 2hr4min40.9sec. It was a struggle for me, I have not run such a long distance for quite awhile.

Sub 4 hours target for Singapore Marathon 2016

The Singapore Marathon 2016 is 5 months away, I am targeting to complete in less than 4 hours. Will need to start training for it this month, have to cover up to 35km comfortably in less than 3hr 15min 2 weeks before the actual run. It is probably not extremely difficult to those who has done it before, but anyone capable of doing it has to be reasonably fit physically. 

Singaporean at Goldcoast marathon 2016

Fang Jianyong finished the Goldcoast marathon 2016 in 2 hours 34min 32sec, 34th place overall. 

Gold Coast Marathon 2016 and Yuki Kawauchi

Yuki Kawauchi finished 2nd at the Gold Coast Marathon 2016 this morning 3 July 2016, he was just 1 second behind winner Kenneth Mungara, the 42 year old runner from Kenya. This is Kawauchi best time in an overseas marathon and his first sub 2:10 since Dec 2014. Anyone reading this, should note that this man is a amateur holding a full time job and not a professional runner.
