Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2019

The Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon is taking place today, 30 Nov 2019 Saturday, 6pm. This is the first time the Singapore SCB marathon is being held in the evening, hopefully this will help us achieve better finishing time. Personally I have not done sufficient training, I just hope I run to the best of my fitness and ability. The race is starting in 2hr25min time.

SpaceX 11th mission 2019

SpaceX completed its 11th mission of the year on 11 Nov 2019, it was a Starlink mission carrying 60 Starlink satellites to orbit. It was the the 78th Falcon rocket and the 76th successful launch. The first stage B1048 was launched for the 4th time and recovered for the 4th time. 

10km run on 8 Nov 2019 Friday

I just completed 25 laps of 400m at the Yio Chu Kang stadium in a time of 52min30.6sec according to my Suunto watch. I was quite surprised by the time as I did not look at the lap time at all today. Although it was not fast by any standard, I was surprised because I was not feeling good at all throughout the run. I just wanted to finish the run to clock some distance. It was even faster than the 8km run at the same stadium yesterday. Average lap time was 2min6.024sec and average per km was 5:15. My timing did not worsen as I though it would, I just did not feel good during the run.

8km run on 7 Nov 2019 Thursday

I just completed a 8 km run at the Yio Chu Kang Stadium, 20 laps of 400m of the oval, in a time of 42min34.2sec. Average time per lap was 2min7.71sec. Although not a fast time, I was exhausted and is still perspiring profusely. My training is not going too well, and my timing is going nowhere as well. The SCB marathon is coming up on 30 Nov 2019 Saturday evening 6pm start. I am aiming for a 5 hour finishing time and I need to be quite focus to be able to complete in 5 hours. I only had like 3 run of 20km up till now in the last 2 months. I will try my best to finish well!!
