The Infinite World

Running seems to be second nature to anyone, as long as both your feets are above ground at any one time, you are running! But, to run well, long and fast is extremely difficult. You need to really treat your body well to actually attain a certain level of competency in running. This is why to be certified a gold standard runner takes a lot of discipline and determination, plus some level of natural talent. Maintaining the mileage is critical, watching what you eat is critical and resting well is critical as well. A normal person will not be able to achieve the gold standard of sub 2:10 in a marathon ever in their life time. A serious runner will be more likely to aim for a sub 3 hours which will be a dream come true for 99 percent of all runners!

It is extremely important for runners to watch how much they weigh, imagined if you are overweight by 5kg, it's like you run carrying a 5kg backpack! Your legs will be stressed, they are built to carry only a certain body weight. So remember to cut back when you are hurting more from a sore legs.

There are so many reports of people getting killed by bombs or attacks everyday, why so ? Because the world is divided, different people having a agenda of their own, not happy with their own circumstances! Agenda is fine, but many are misled by their own kind.

All human typically are the same, emotional, selfish, always hungry and are not able to stand extreme weather. They are programmed to response to the physical needs of the human body, every other things are irrelevant when these needs are not fulfilled! Human need to transcend these demands to really take controls. It is easy to say but difficult to actually carry out in reality. Therefore, changing the way human thinks is crucial to the survival of their kind. 

Started my run at 7.15 am on 18 Mar 2017, Saturday. Wanted to run 20km at a the minimum, but was apprehensive due to my poor fitness level. I tried to run easy without looking too much at the time, just putting one foot in front of the other. I got to 10km quite easily in about 1 hour 3 minutes, then turn around to return home. The heat from the blazing sun could now be felt, I just try my best to keep going. At 16.01 km, I stopped at a water point at a park I passed, to have a quick drink and rest for about 5 minutes. I took a slow run back home for a distance of 3.69km in about 25 minutes. Total distance 19.7 km in 2 hours 8 minutes. Slow run to keep my fitness level intact, at least there was no muscle cramp. 

You are welcome to visit this blog to get interesting things and ideas. I will share whatever I know or think about. Everyone is curious about things around us and things they do not know! The world out there is unlimited, it's our mind that put a limit on whatever exist because it cannot comprehend that the world is unlimited! Something else is out there beyond whatever or wherever you can reach! 

Not many people want to believe that there are multiple universes out there, probably because one single universe is already hard to comprehend for most people. Anything is possible, humans know too little and yet think that they know a lot! Humans are visual creatures, beliving in what they see. But, it's difficult for humans to progress much further, they are self-centred and have personal agenda in the things they do. Humans will destroyed themselves one day.

Humans are not logical in their thinking, they are easily influenced by bad ideas and their own craving for the bad deeds. Their brain tend to turn towards bad ideas when they are not strong mentally. They need to learn to control their thinking, history has many example of human mind going bizarre creating great havoc. Human problems are mostly self inflicted, because human mind is in general selfish and never think ahead logically.

Seems like earthlings view of the universe are all assumptions, it's all theoretical, as they will never get there or ever see those planets! They are talking like they are experts but actually they assumed it to be a reality based on their calculations. It's rediculous but people still believe it!! People do not know much about our moon and maybe Mars, but they think they know about faraway places millions and billions of light years away!

Managed to run the longest distance of 17.1 km on the morning of 4th March 2017, Saturday. It was a slow run, it took me about 1 hour and 43 minutes. I was trying to cover as much ground as possible, so I did not think too much, just moving constantly. Although the body did not feel great, it did not protest too much either. I just keep reminding my brain that there is no shortcut to running, you just have to clock sufficient mileage if you want to run better. The body will be stronger after awhile with all the mileage that you put in. 

My longest run this year 2017 is 16.7km in about 1 hour 43 min. Lately, I have been struggling to run longer distance, find it so difficult to clock the distance. I have to find a way to run up to 4 times per week, currently I run only on weekends. I need to learn how to enjoy long runs, maybe I need to look at my gps watch less often and learn to run easy! 

The best way forward for the human race is to come together as one community, it will benefit all. But, it is difficult to forgo selfish human motives! Get rid of the evil side of human and help one another is the right way for the future. Easy to say it out but extremely difficult to carry out. The evil forces are just too strong!

So far only completed 5 runs up to today 23 Jan 2017 Monday, 10:29pm. I want to run faster this year, I want to run faster than 50 minutes for the 10km, 1 hour 53min for the half marathon and 4hour30min for the marathon. I need to average at least 100 km every month at the minimum, but hopefully I can achieve 130 km per month. I also need to build up my core muscles by doing more push up, sit-up and planks. I need to join a few runs as well to keep myself motivated to run faster. 

Just completed my second run of the year, 10.12km in 1 hour 2 min and 35 sec according to my garmin 620 watch. It was a slow run as usual, I was trying to cover as much distance as possible. I was feeling sluggish, so tried my best to relax and run easy.

Here comes the New Year, hopefully less killing of fellow humans for earth! A tall order for them, lots of work to develop their thinking ! They have been killing each other for too long, a habit that is hard to kick.

I completed my 12th marathon on 4 December 2016, Sunday. This year, the race started half an hour earlier at 4.30am at the same start point at Orchard Road. I reached the event start point early and was in the holding pen by 4 am. I was feeling relax and ready to go, but I did not have high hope as I knew my training was really inadequate. I started about 7 minutes after the elite runners were off. As usual it was a slow first few kilometres, in fact I completed the first 10 km in about 1 hour 3 minutes plus. No problem at all for the early part of the race. Reached half way point in 2 hours 20 minutes 12 Seconds. My poor fitness began to be obvious, I started to feel tired and pace dropped drastically after the half way point. The body started to feel so weak and I kept having the urge to walk instead of running. It was a dreadful feeling, I have to struggle to keep moving at a very slow pace. My pace dropped from 7 plus minutes to 9 minutes to even 11 minutes plus per km around ...

Human should really start exploring beyond their comfort zone, the orbit around earth. A good start would be going to the moon and back regularly, it would solve many of the technical space technoloy needed for further space travel. If human do not make this move soon, they will always be stuck with primitive space travel technology. If they cannot solve short space travel issue, they can forget about getting to mars and back. It is naive to think that they can actually leapfrog the technology needed in space travel. There is saying that says "learn to walk properly, before you attempt to run" ! Everyone know that space is a harsh environment, human are weak phyiscally and need all the basic elements to survive. So there are so many things they need to get right before further exploration can proceed. Get the basic reliable launch technology right for regular launch, at least launch within hours of a initial mission. Get the basic space craft to survive for 30 days, ...

Training has not been going well for my marathon race on 4 Dec 2016, mileage is too low. I will definitely has to take it easy for the run, will hit the wall early. Just has to push on no matter what happen on the day itself. Will try to prep myself mentally to fight against my weak body and I am targeting to finish with 5 hours 15 minutes. I plan to run the 1st half much faster than the 2nd half, probably 2 hour 15 min vs 2 hour 45 min.
