Training for IPPT 2013

It is the time of the year when I train for my army IPPT (Individual Physical Proficiency Test) again. I am visiting Singapore in July this year so I have started my training already. I take my IPPT every time I visit Singapore.

Today, I did interval training of 6 X 500 metres in Carolina Park. The timing of each 500 metre is 2 min 5 sec. And the rest time is 2 min 5 sec too. I did all 6 within the timing and my target is to run under 10min for my 2.4km in IPPT this year.

Last year, I ran 10 min 11 sec for my 2.4km and got $400 for the IPPT gold. Hopefully this year I can get full points for each station and improve my timing for 2.4km even more.

Elena's birthday

We celebrated Elena's 51th birthday at Uncle Ho's on 13th April. We had Thai and Vietnam food, and a great time of fellowship. We thank God for Elena and Arthur who supported us when we most needed help in Ecuador. They are good and faithful servants of God. We truly appreciate them being in our lives. :)
