The Infinite World

Eliud Kichoge is correct, no human is limited. Human is not limited and can do much more. It depends on how much you really want to achieve something! Human should always push themselves to go further and beyond the unknown territory.

Yuki Kawauchi came in 1st at the Boston Marathon 2018, 16 April, in 2 hours 15minutes 58 seconds, the last Japanese man to win was in 1987, Toshihiko Seko. Amazing race for Yuki, the bad weather win it for him, as he is not afraid of the cold weather. He is really becoming a legend, his 79 sub 2:20 marathon! He breached a gap of over 90 secs and won by 2 minutes 25 seconds over Kenyan Geoffrey Kirui.

I will be running the 21.1km at the Income 350 run on 29 April 2018, at 5am. I have not run a half marathon officially since Feb 2013, but I am expecting a sub 2hr10min. Not sure if I am able to achieve this timing, as I am a little taken back as I struggled a lot during my 18.12 km run on Saturday 14 April 2018. I guess I better fuelled my body properly before the run, to ensure I have sufficient energy to complete the run. 

Started my run this morning at 7.09 am sg time, from Yio Chu Kang Road just before junction with Ang Mo Kio Ave 4.The first km was slow at 7:11 per km. I ran pass YCK Mrt station, then NYP along AMK ave 5 to buangkok green. It was a really a struggle today for me, legs was feeling heavy and I ran at a slow speed just to get in some mileage. Although I was slow today, none of the subsequent km exceed 7 min. The 2nd km was 6:42, follow by 6:50, 6:33, 6:31, reached the 5km mark in 33min36sec. I entered the Sengkang park connector around the 6km mark, from here I was able to run faster and managed to get down to around 6 min or low 6 min. But mostly hovering around 6:20 per km. My aim today was to get back to running longer distance of up to around 20km. I reached the Punggol Waterway point around 1hr 8min 56 sec, aroun 10.52km, this is where I turnaround to head back to where I started. All went well until I came back out to the start of the park connector, the heat was getting t...

Admit it, a manned mission to Mars is a tough one to achieved. You need a reasonably big ship to carry fuel, air, food and man himself. Once you set off, a thousand things can go wrong. A failed communication system will caused panic, as the crew will be totally cut off, imagined if you are 20 million km away from Earth. Or a failed engine, you will drift in space. I think it’s best to first practice in near Earth space to build the expertise and experience needed to survive in space. It would be a great achievement for man if we succeeded to reach Mars before 1 Jan 2030!
