Target for next Marathon - Sundown

Exactly 2 months away, is the annual Sundown Marathon. It will be my 4th Marathon, and my 2nd Sundown Marathon.

Last year I finished with a timing of 7 hours and 17 minutes, and thereafter, I finished the Standard Chartered Marathon with a timing of 6 hours 43 minutes. I know I can do better than this.... so this year, my target is to finish below 6 hours!!

It is an achievable target for me. For the past marathons, I've just been wanting to complete the race, but I think it is time to do one up, to really challenge myself, to set a target that I want to work towards.

So, 2 months from now,when I run the Sundown Marathon, I want to finish the 42km with a time below 6 hours!

加油! 加油!

Act of Valor - Father's letter to his unborn son...

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people and bow to none.
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.
Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose heart are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
