I am sorry if I disappointed you but this is not a post about an upcoming movie or something.
Instead, this is a post about running.
Yes, running as in using your two (under utilized) legs to move yourself from one place to another in a faster pace than your usual walking speed.
It is very hard to believe but I am sure that most of you who are reading this, have not been running recently. Yeah, maybe that 5 meters dash to catch a lift but that hardly count as running.
By no mean, if you want to consider it a decent run, at least try to do a 400m run... If you want to do a 100m run, by all means do it but dont tell me you are going to take your time to do it... 100m is meant for speed and you should be running as fast as you can in it...
But if you are going to run further, then it is okay to conserve abit of energy but run at a constant good speed.
What I am trying to say here is that life goes on no matter what you do (or didnt). Would you rather just sit there all day and do nothing or would you try to do something about it while you still can?
I used to be someone who just sit around throughout the day but I decided to change it early last year. Instead of doing nothing for myself, I start picking up activities that would benefit me somehow...
And one of the activities that I took up is running. Many of my friends didnt know but I have been running since the beginning of last year... In the beginning, I can hardly do 100m, even when I am jogging very slowly. But as times goes by (with constant run), I managed to improve my stamina alot (compare to the starting time) and somehow help in keeping my body fit (although there is still alot more that I can do to improve my body).
But after some injuries in the middle of last year, my running frequency become less and less. In the end, the running has been replace by badminton session...
Recently however, I found out that badminton alone couldnt help me get my body to a better shape. When a friend suggest that I start running again, I decided to give it a try, this time a more serious determination...
Currently, I am running twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday, after work. It was kinda hard initially as I found out that my stamina has went back to the bare minimum level but again, with constant run, I have managed to do three laps without stopping.
For those who run alot, I know this is nothing much but for me, it is a good progress. But I am not going to satisfy here... I am hoping that by the end of the year, I can do 10 laps without stopping. That would be another one of my aims for this year...
So, have you been working on your aims lately?
