It all started with a WALK

I am not a runner nor a walker. The only course I am willing to walk is the - Mall. But then even that gave me cramps and calluses.

Then come modern technology where I could go shopping without leaving my bedroom and in my jammies. Online shopping is the best!

But one fine day, something unexpected happened. I decided to work-out. Though not really seriously at first. I just went to the gym because I got free membership. As a Staff of YMCA it is one of the perks. Hey, who doesn't like freebies? But then, it didn't last long. I believe I spent more time in the shower than in the treadmill. And oftentimes, when I was about to work-out, I would meet someone I know in the lobby and next thing I know, it was already time to go back to work. So on and off, I went with my work-up.

October of last year [2010] I finally committed myself to really work-out seriously. I enrolled in a fitness center about 2 miles away from where I work and viola, I enjoyed it. I don't miss class because I paid for the membership so I might as well get my money's worth. wink*

Fast sprinting to 2011, the Mary's Walk came and I signed up to support RSU 57. After that event, I signed up for my very first 5k and I started training.

 I started running... seriously.
