10K Training – Day 27: Race Simulation – Day 6

Tracks: ZR, Endomondo, Strava

Target: 10km 5:31 – 5:43 min/km

Achieved: 5.20km 7:10 min/km. I really didn’t feel like running today. A busy day at work, tired, and I guess it showed during the run.

Next Run: Friday 5km 7:39 min/km

Giving is the best communication. Because you never know what might become of it. It could just save your life, or the life of a loved one.

10K Training – Day 26: Race Simulation – Day 5

Tracks: ZR, Endomondo, Strava

Target: 5km 7:39 min/km

Achieved: 5.03km 4:56min/km. A good pace today. AKB48 is a great band to listen to, and even to run to. Their tracks are reasonably fast beat, and I was comfortably averaging around 10-11 km/h just hitting their beat (~5-6 min/km).

Next Run: Tuesday 10km 5:31 – 5:43 min/km

Dungeon Defenders

I re-setup my ASUS Transformer TF101 with AOKP and decided to reinstall the apps from Google Play. Fortunately, it keeps track of everything you installed, so all I had to do was scroll down and start clicking install on everything I wanted back. One of the ones I had completely forgotten about, was Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave. It’s not visible in the market anymore, but you can still download it.

Since it’s been disabled, the in-game purchases no longer work, but then again, you don’t necessarily need it to play the game.

The game is still a good, fun, tower-defence 3D game. And I found that there’s a beta of Dungeon Defenders 2 available, but you have to request a beta invite. I won’t be doing that because I’m only playing DD casually, and irratically.

OpenSUSE

I tried to install OpenSUSE on my laptop again today, and again it came up with the error about the boot partition. So perhaps I’ll have to tweak the boot partition size the next time I try this.

Instead, I installed Fedora 19, and that went fine – no issues with installing. Next I need to update it.

OpenSUSE

I tried to install OpenSUSE today using the Network Installer. Some interesting things happened.

  1. When installing via a Network Installer, you would expect the latest versions of packages to be used. Evidently not. I did this, and when the installer did the update (which I would expect to be quick since there’s nothing to update), it took an extra 30 minutes to apply hundreds of DRPMs.
  2. Whilst doing the update, the installer flagged up the fact that I had run out of space on my boot partition — so the boot partition I had just created via the installer, using values the installer decided upon by itself, has now been clogged up DURING the install. Needless to say, the next thing I did was roll back to my previous Clonezilla image.

This isn’t going to discourage me, though, I do want to try out OpenSUSE properly, so I think what I’ll try next time, is run the installer from the CD instead of the netinstall and keep my software choices minimal until after the install is complete.

 

10K Training – Day 25: Race Simulation – Day 4

Tracks: ZR, Endomondo, Strava

Target: 10km 5:31 – 5:44 min/km

Achieved: 10.13km 57:11 min. I missed several days of the start of the Simulation phase due to some really crazy long-hour (10-14 hour) days at work. But on the plus side, I took nearly 2 minutes off my 10K PB.

Next Run: Monday, 5km 7:39 min/km

10K Training – Day 24: Getting Faster – Day 20

Tracks: ZR, Endomondo, Strava

Target: 7km 5:37 – 5:45 min/km

Achieved: 2.79km 5:47 min/km. Started drizzling, so I ended the run early.

Next Run: Monday – 5km 7:41 min/km
