the road is long...

Retire at 67, die at 80?
that gives me another 39 years to work, and another 52 years to live.

Ha... and to think that i was just looking at the obituaries, wondering when would be my turn to rest.Not that i hate living... just that it would also be nice to know that i have done i all i was supposed to and can proceed to enjoy eternity in heaven.

Can't imagine working for another 39 years!

Gross.

It's like thinking you're on Round 3 of your 2.4k run, then finding out that

1. You're only on round 2
2. You're doing the 10k run instead.

Which reminds me, today, there was yet another report of a sudden-death-after-exercise case. =(

i've come to the conclusion that the human body is not meant to do overly strenuous exercise. I think that's why so many healthy people have been dropping dead after exercises.

Incidentally, why would people need to run 21km anyway? take a cab la. And if like, during wartime, all our tanks break down and the poor soldiers need to get to a destination 21km away in a very short time, mabbe they can try cycling instead of running? then they would still have energy left to fight. And can even carry heavy things. And it would be faster.

A regular 5km jog every day should be enough to keep them fit. Why keep pushing for unnatural limits?
