C25K – Week 7 Day 1

I completed C25K Week 7 Day 1 (4.02 km), in 20:48, pace 05:10 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/s5ep

Week 7, Day 1. Single 4K run. Lasted the entire 4K, but the last 0.5K was a doozy. Slower average pace than yesterday (05:10 min/km or 08:19 min/mile), so slightly disappointed.

On the plus side, I did get a new trophy:

C25K – Week 6 Day 3

I completed C25K Week 6 Day 3 (3.62 km), in 18:11, pace 05:01 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/Z5be

Week 6 Day 3. A single 3.62K run (2.25 miles). The last 0.6K was a tough push, but I just about made it. And at 5 min/km pace (8:04 min/mile), it felt pretty good.

A word of encouragement to the trailing runners: Remember, it is not over until you cross the finish line.

Linux Containers

After much tinkering and cursing, I finally managed to get Linux Container running. I had originally wanted a Fedora container, but for some unknown reason, the container would not start. Instead, I tried a CentOS 6 container, and that started up successfully, so I am using that instead. It is actually good, because I can tinker with the CentOS container, experiment with different configurations, maybe practise setting it up as a proper (i.e. no GDM) server. This will help if I decide to go for a Red Hat-themed Linux certification.

Still bugging me why the Fedora 20 container won’t start, though.
