Daily Life: Looking back 2014, Looking forward 2015

As I penned this article, its on Jan 1 2015 after a long run during the 200 miles run.  Looking back at 2014, I can only say its been an very interesting year.

As usual I will split its reflections in its own category since there are much things to be thankfully about.

Work
More interesting items this year with my freelancing going into full swing in last quarter of 2014. Seeing some positive results and setting aside some money for training purpose. Also learning more IT technologies which I help can be deployed to current work environment. Happy to be using the Microsoft surface Pro. Its a good investment and allows me to work from overseas and carry less back/fro home and office.

Sports
2014 solidifies my Ultra running passion where I go for more 21K, 42K and ultra runs. Timing for 42K also improves and I am now in the sub 5 club. To push to 4.30 timing is the immediate target and once done, towards sub 4 club. 2015 moving forward will be on 42K for long distance runs with 10k/21K for AHM and charity runs only. Will also take more Ultra runs in and around the region. 2016 could see me going to Tokyo and/or Berlin marathon so will have to train double-hard on getting my running form correct and timing improve as a result.

Love life
Though have made with some dates, so far nothing much has been done. Its not about the girl but more about myself. I don't know how to date or more accurately, I don't know how much love I can give. After-all its been 35 years of emptiness. It does not take a genius to know that it will take a while for me to thaw. I am toying with the idea of getting a wife from overseas but not too sure due to financial concerns and also the well-being of her adjusting to SG life and more importantly, with my faith. Now I truly know that my wife needs to be of the same faith as me as it will be the basis of the family nucleus.

Church
This year at least from the last quarter of 2014, I have been attending Faith church on a more regular basis. Its not easy to balance between church and sports so still adjusting it. This also shows that I may need a real start to a new area, one with no ties to my past. My old church members did text me asking if i am going back. it will take a while... one day maybe... anything is possible though so very hard to say.

Also doing quiet time more regularly so its a good habit to do it before i go for bath or on bus to MRT in the morning.
