RUUUUUUUN!!

ok, so it's been a while since i posted anything on this blog. i have writer's block, seriously. i think i've been suffering from it since high school. i used to write a lot. i don't know what happened... i'll elaborate on this maybe on my next post (probably in a year or two). ha!

latey, i'm trying to be more active. i've been a couch potato my whole life. i was never into sports. i'd just stay at home, read a book or watch TV. weight has always been an issue for me. i tipped more than a 100 lbs when i was only 13. that's a lot, considering i was less than 5 feet tall at that time. i've tried numerous diets - 3 day diet, hollywood diet (aka suicide diet), herbalife, atkins, south beach, food combining (this one was actually not too bad). but nothing really stick. i'm pushing 30, and man, maintaining my weight is harder than ever!

i decided to RUUUUUUUN!! yes, i decided to run from my weight problem and just get liposuction. NOT!

i'm trying to get into running (as in the act of moving quickly on foot) . about 2 years ago, i got into this already. i signed up for several 5K runs. after 5 months, i was burned out. i enjoyed it for a while, but too many things happened in my life and i just stopped. i know that's not a good excuse, but that's really what happened. so now, i'm back! i just woke up one day and decided, i need to be more active again. with that, i think i'll make running as part of my lifestyle. i found a very apt article - The Couch-to-5K Running Plan. it seems doable. i guess the trick to running is not to overwhelm myself. when i tried running 2 years ago, i kept pushing myself until i just gave up. now, i'll try the snail's approach. we'll see how it goes.
