The Infinite World

Took a different route on 22 Aug 2014, Friday, it's about 3.7km per lap near where I live. The route has a long slight downhill on one side and a steep uphill on another side of the route. I planned for it to be slow but some how I did run faster with each lap, completed the 16.03km run in 1 hour 47min 57sec. It's a slow run but overall a good run, I was able to relax and just run easy. 

Did another 10km run at the stadium yesterday evening, 25 laps, in 52min15sec. Although I did not improve on the run last Wednesday of 52min10sec, this was a easier run as I felt much better during the run. I felt my stride to be smoother and my breathing much more compose, should have tried to push myself a bit harder. I guessed it might be due to my lighter body weight due to more running for the week and slight improvement I core body strength due to more sit up and better stretching. Happy to see the slight improvement and hope to build on it.

Completed 25 laps, 10km at the stadium this evening, in a time of 52min10.021sec. Averaging 5:13 per km, per lap time is 2:05.2. Physically, not in the best of form and also felt weak around the 6km mark. It was a difficult run for me, I think my legs can carry through a good 51min run, but need to work on my nutrition need.

Did a 3 km run at the stadium in 14min24.276sec. Split for the 7.5laps : 2:00.010, 1:58.874, 1:55.856,   1:56.083, 1:58.377, 1:58.497, 1:49.658, 46.921. Averaging 4:48 per km, not fast but I will try to improve more in the coming days !

Ran 4km at nearby stadium this evening, clocked 19min35.426sec, averaging 4:54 per km. Split as follow: 2:06.247, 2:00.939, 1:59.526, 1:58.438, 1:58.507, 1:58.270, 1:57.773, 1:58.538, 1:55.696, 1:40.492. Not a fast time, but I am making some progress. I am trying to test if I can maintain a per lap (400m) time of less than 2min and hold it for as many laps as possible. 

People in Singapore just need to remember one very basic rule, "do not throw anything on the ground when you step out of your own house" ! If do not do throw litter on the floor at home, do not do this when you get out of your own house as well ! If everyone can learn this basic rule, we will really be a very clean city !

Just finished a 2.4km run, 6 laps at the nearby stadium about 25min ago. Clocked 11min26.797sec, split time: 1:58.251, 1:58.018,1:57.506, 1:58.246, 1:55.953, 1:38.823. Not fast at all, but some improvement. just need to keep pushing my body to do more. A very controlled run today, could have run faster, body feels good today.

Why is there so many conflicts on our little planet Earth ? Human beings are supposed to be the most intelligent living being on this planet but we spend so much time and effort trying to kill each other. There is some differences in the way we look, skin colour and the way we carry out our daily life, but otherwise, we all need air, food, warm and a roof over our head to survive. We will be an advance living being, once we can stop being greedy and stop killing each other. Imagine the amount of money we can save from building weapons of destruction.

Ran 6 laps at the stadium this morning, 2.4km in 12min26.551sec. Just so lazy but still need to put in effort to run whatever distance I can managed. Ran the laps in 2:20, 2:14, 2:09, 2:06, 2:00, 1:35. Went out late this morning, started run only at 8am, too late and the hot sun was blazing.

Completed 25laps at the stadium today, 10km in 53min13.588sec. Although not a fast time, I am quite happy with the run, as I was able to run faster towards the end. I can feel my breathing was getting quite difficult as I tried my best to run faster towards the last 3km but I discovered that my legs was actually ok to my surprise. I was running quite smoothly and could have run faster if my breathing could be improved. 

Covered 12.09km in 1hr13min, average about 6min2.28sec, still very slow. I think mileage is quite important for me, as my body is still not use to running long distances. Need to be more patience and clock more mileage. 

Completed a slow long run of 17.22 km this morning in 1hr53min30sec, averaging 6:35 per km. The initial first few km was quite bad, felt very slow moving but did not dare to increase my speed. I wanted badly to do a long run today, so I just stick to a 6:30-6:45pace. I consumed a pack of gel before the run, as I sometimes felt weak without breakfast. Started to feel a little better after the 5km plus mark, seemed to have found my rhythm. I just tried my best to stick to this comfortable pace for as long as I can. Managed to covered 9.02km at the 1 hour mark, slow but not really bad. I want to make sure I cover at least 17km. At the 12.6plus km, I consumed another pack of gel and had a quick drink at one of the toilet at a small park along the route before resuming my run, took me about 33 secs. I managed to stick to a even pace till the end of the run. I started the run at about 7.25am, maybe I should start half an hour earlier for the next long run to avoid the heat from the morning ...

Completed 15laps at the stadium this morning in 33min3.935sec, a very slow and tough run. I do not know why I felt so heavy in the legs and it was really a struggle during the middle section of the run. 

Completed a short run of 4km in 19min41sec, felt ok after the run, but have to learn to run faster. Continue to work on my core muscle and to keep a optimum body weight. 

Did a 7km run at the gym this evening in 38min flat. Have not run for the past 5 days. 

Completed the longest run for the month, 13km in 1hr20min40sec, average about 6:12 per km. Fastest km was 4:54 for the last km, slowest was 6:58 around the 7th km. A slow run but overall a good run, slowly increasing the distance. 

Ran 14laps at the stadium this evening, clocked in at 29min51.348sec. Covered each lap averaging about 2:11 for the 1st 11 laps. Only ran faster after I decided to run only 14laps, covered the 12th lap in 2:09,13th lap in 2:03 and the 14th lap much faster in 1:33. I was very apprehensive and kept thinking that I might not finish my target of at least 14 laps if I run much faster. Actually, I would have clock a much faster time if I had ran each lap 1 sec faster. 

Completed a 10km run this evening in 57min 35sec. It was kind of difficult as I have not been running 10 km or more on the road for quite awhile. Average speed was 5:45 per km.

Earth is like a giant spaceship with limited resources travelling around the sun due to the gravitational forces. As human evolves, they wasted too much resources, some due to human's own built in element, which they have not manage to understand and control. Human multiply too quickly as well but they do not know how to bring up the young in a proper way. Human are just too self centre and greedy, suspicious and tend to give in to evil thoughts which results in self destruction. They are not using their resources, knowledge, in the way which will ensure their survival with their limited resources. They are acquiring new knowledge and technology, but they do not use it in a proper way. They need to develop their intellectual ability in a more thoughtful way, rather than the selfish way which is exactly what is happening now.

Started my run at the stadium at 10.03 am, always start with ambitious goal. Wanted to run 2:04 for 25laps, but just after the 1st lap of 2:10, I know I am still  not in shape to achieve what I set out to do. 2nd lap was ran in 2:12, 3rd lap was a little faster at2:09.942. Feeling apprehensive, 4th lap covered in 2:12.699, 5th lap in 2:11.853, 6th lap in 2:12.740. I can see that I am not getting any faster with each lap. 7th lap was covered in 2:12.360, 8th lap in 2:11.527, I kept trying to go faster but 9th lap was only slightly faster at 2:10.915, 10th lap was covered in 2:11.991. The sun was in and out, but mentally, I kept thinking the heat will slow me down. The 11th lap was covered in 2:13.952, 12th lap in 2:11.549. I made my mind by the 13th lap to run just 1 more lap, so I got quicker for the 13th lap in 2:06.453 and the final lap was covered in 1:37.992. I think my mental state was so much affected by the sun and the heat, that I kept telling myself that I could not run m...
