Yuki Kawauchi ran the longest race in his career, 71km and broke the course record at the Nobeyama Ultra marathon in Japan on a Sunday morning, 20 May 2018. Time 4hours41min55sec, the next runner was half an hour behind.

SpaceX is scheduled to launch the first block 5 Falcon 9 first stage today 11 May 2018 at 4.14 pm eastern time from KSC, Florida. The most updated version first stage is supposed to be able to launch  or reuse up to 10 times with minimum touch up. If the reusability is successful, space launch cost could be greatly reduced!

There is unthinkable amount of space in Space beyond Earth, no need to fight for space. But, you need to bring everything you need, or you need to mine any rock you encountered or the moon or create new materials to build your space habitat. It might seems impossible but it can be done with lots of try and error and lots of practice. It’s difficult to the human as they are greedy for power and cannot work together peacefully. They are just so afraid that the other party will take advantage of them if they let their guts down. Maybe, small countries should think about this option to expand their frontiers.

I completed the 21.1 km Income Eco Run on 29 April 2018, Sunday. I started near the end of the second wave at 5.13am, my left leg was hurting a little before the run, I think it’s due a affected nerve. I had a spray from the crew before the start and I tried my best to really take it easy. It did not affect me much for the first 5 km, reached 5km in 32min30sec but I kept fearing that the pain could get worse. I did not run any faster than 6.30 per km, although it is not the pain that held me back. It was not a good feeling to run with the niggling pain, it was a good training to be persistent in wanting to complete the run with such a pain obstacle. I finally finished with a net time of 2hour28mim48sec. I told myself that I would rather be clocking 7min plus km by running slow then to clock 10min plus per km if I had walked a few km.
