Didn’t run at the intended pace because of some error in configuration, that’s dumb but lesson learnt.
Nonetheless, ran well. Under 60 though I should be doing better than that. Feet isn’t well, gotta give and take.
Next run is mf run, and I can’t decide if I should be doing it leisurely or going all out again. Going with luke and his friends, I shouldn’t leave them behind. Okay, that’s presumptuous on my part but luke says they can’t run better than him, and he can’t run better than me. Pfft.
My awesome adios racers did me proud, again.
Gotta expand on that 5-minute pace. I know I can sustain 2.4 with it and I should be expanding to at least five and eventually 10. Once I can hit 10, I can start working on my 20, and 42, then 82 and finally 102. I am kidding, not serious of course.
No, I should be running at 5.7-minute pace and bring it down to 5-minute pace. Maybe 0.1-minute each week? That’s 6 seconds a week over 7 weeks, reasonable. Probably good for my single-long run training. I ought to be doing more intervals to prepare to gold my ippt. I want the money, if not the ego booster.
Got stung by a lost bee in the bus. The bee should be dead by now, I don’t know if I should feel sorry for myself or the bee. But you know, it’s quite amazing to be stung by the bee. The whole human reflex action, brain thinking process. For that, I am thankful for. That God made man quite beyond my imagination, maybe you could understand or comprehend but I cannot.
And some people may think I am not-so-christian because I don’t talk about God and you don’t see me saying grace for my food all the time. I believe you are entitled to your opinion. Like how some church elites, so they are labeled by others, think gay christians are not so christians after all. But I will like to think of christian as an absolute term, either you are or not. I will also like to think that no man can judge one’s faith and salvation in place of God, in fact, I wouldn’t think you are entitled to share your opinion to if a christian is christian enough or not.
If you have issues with that, try calling up my God and question Him. I am not sure if yours is the same as mine, but I don’t have a number to spare in case it differs.
If you are wondering why being stung by a bee reminds me of God, you should try youtubing some videos on bees attacking other animals. It is actually quite depressing because they are almost immediately helpless and eventually left to die. Uh, I am glad I didn’t go into fit and die on the bus. Or look like pathetic and helpless, ego issues I know.
Back to reading sun tse art of war, because the first time I read it I didn’t really quite see a greater picture in his ideology. But I think I am in a better state of mind, and perhaps may have grown more *ahem* mature to understand his art. It is pretty interesting actually. The book reflects a lot about the chinese civilisation, the values and the heritage, lifestyle. More than what it meets the eye.
Besides reading so that I can shoot people more effectively in my oh-so-often arguments - it’s always easier to win when you have a big name to quote - I think people who don’t know the few famous quotations of sun tse are quite loserish. If you don’t already know, and care to be deemed not/less loserish in my eyes, you can go to wikipedia and do some easy reading. Be grateful for internet privacy, I wouldn’t be able to trace who you are.
Grins.
Maybe I will be able to put it to good use when I am in the military? Perhaps I can shoot the commanding officer, or get into a art of war combat with him. Er, we still exercise freedom of speech right?
Okay lah, tired already. Didn’t manage to practise today, slept the entire day away to make up for the loss of sleep last night. Going to chiong tomorrow. I have a list of things to do.
On a straying note, I really dislike dumb people. Okay, I know, love your enemies, love your neighbours, wife, husband, brothers.
