PAssion Run 25km at East Coast Park
The 25km event was broken down into 3 waves. The 1st wave started at 4:30pm, 2nd wave at 4:40pm and 3rd wave at 4:50pm. Couldn't get a parking space so parked my car along road side along East Coast Service road. Luckily did not get any summon ticket. I believe they allowed that due to this major running event. Wanted to join the 2nd wave but was late so ended up with the 3rd wave.Did not sleep well the past few nights and body not in top form. Drank a glass of coffee, took an energy bar biscuit and 2 bananas.
One of the lady minister came to flag off the run. In the first few km, I was trying to pace after 2 runners of reasonable speed (about 10kmph). Did fairly well for the first 7km. Did not stop running while drinking along drinking points. Lost sight of the 2 runners after 9km mark. Did fairly well for the first 10km.After 10km mark, my body and mind got a bit "lazy" and did several "stop,drink & walk" at drinking points. The deceleration, stop, walk and acceleration took up more energy than usual.
Legs feeling a bit of cramp around 20km bear the knee muscle area. Started to focus on pulling the legs (pose method) instead of pushing the legs. Saw a good runner who was running upright with minimal body swing and at fairly good constant pace. It appeared so effortless for him (that's what I call equilibrium pace, a pace that you can almost continue to run non-stop almost effortlessly). So I paced after him. It helps tremendously... until I stop to drink at one of the water points and lost track of him.
Was quite please that towards the end of the race I was still able to dash at the last 200m easily. Carried along with me 2 GUI power gel but ended up consuming only 1 pack at 13km mark. Overall quite a tiring run. Stop my iPhone distance tracker software only after collecting my medal, finisher t-shirt and drink. My rough estimate is overall I took about 2hr 55 min or less.
Will stop running for whole of next week to let body recover in preparation for the 42km Adidas Sundown marathon event on Sat 28-May-2011. That will be a really tough one as I am not fully prepare or train enough for it this time round. But will attempt to complete it regardless, hopefully below 6 hours (my prior 42km run was 5hr 19min).

Gearing Ratio
Gearing Ratio
What Does Gearing Ratio Mean?
A general term describing a financial ratio that compares some form of owner's equity (or capital) to borrowed funds. Gearing is a measure of financial leverage, demonstrating the degree to which a firm's activities are funded by owner's funds versus creditor's funds.
Also known as the Net Gearing Ratio.

Also known as the Net Gearing Ratio.
Investopedia explains Gearing Ratio
The higher a company's degree of leverage, the more the company is considered risky. As for most ratios, an acceptable level is determined by its comparison to ratios of companies in the same industry. The best known examples of gearing ratios include the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), times interest earned (EBIT / total interest), equity ratio (equity / assets), and debt ratio (total debt / total assets).
A company with high gearing (high leverage) is more vulnerable to downturns in the business cycle because the company must continue to service its debt regardless of how bad sales are. A greater proportion of equity provides a cushion and is seen as a measure of financial strength.

RunKeeper 10.8km in 1:15hr
Did 10.8km today using both SprintGPS and RunKeeper software on the iPhone. Beginning to like RunKeeper which I think is better than SprintGPS.
Click here to see your new personal record.
Had a good run today. It was right after the rain and was very cooling and easy to run. Need to start building up the distance and stamina in preparation for the 25km PAssion Run and 42km Adidas Sundown events in mid and late May.

Quote - Innovation and Learning
Learning and Innovation happen mostly outside the classroom. It is more important to motivate students to learn than to teach them things. One of the ways is to give students fun problems to solve. Then they will be motivated to read up to find answers to the problem. Intrinsic motivation drives individuals to create new things. - Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder

曾经，5C老公流行一时。
Car (车子), Condo (公寓), Credit Card (信用卡), Cash (现金) 以及 Career (事业)。
如今，年轻一辈追求的是5B老公。
5B既是BMW or Benz (宝马或马赛地汽车), Bungalow (独立洋房), Billionaire (亿万富翁), Body (完美身体) 以及 Brain (聪明脑袋)。
若自认没有5B素质，就不要学人家追求不可能的梦想。
建议你选5H老公: Honest (诚实), Handsome (英俊), Helpful (乐于助人), Humble (谦虚) 以及 Healthy (健康). 这5大人性特质，在现今社会，越来越难找，非常珍贵，所谓健康就是福，比拥有亿万家财更幸福。
当然，5H老公，不包括:Hamsap (咸湿) lol..
